But it was a certain look from 2022 that had the politician's wife looking just like a royal fashion icon who was sat within arms' reach.

She was seen in the stalls at the televised event wearing a pink round-necked dress which happened to coordinate with the Princess of Wales who sat two rows in front of her.

Her first look ahead of her move into Number 10
Fashion fans will have been paying attention to Victoria's look from the early hours of Thursday morning when the final votes were counted and it was announced that her husband would become the first Labour Party prime minister since 2007.

Victoria's royalty-core
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant wasn't the only time Victoria has had a brush with royalty. In fact, she has nailed her sartorial choices on three occasions when she has attended state banquets at Buckingham Palace.

In June, the former lawyer and her husband attended the State Banquet for Emperor Naruhito and his wife Empress Masako of Japan at Buckingham Palace. She was a picture of elegance in a caped fit-and-flare cream gown from Needle & Thread that was covered in intricate beading.
