She added a pair of dark opaque tights – women in the public eye often plump for nude instead – and finished the outfit with fashionable suede lace-up boots.
Rochelle noted the ensemble was more relaxed than those worn by Samantha Cameron and Cherie Blair, who plumped for a polished purple dress and a classic coat and dress combination for their first post-election outings.
Rochelle said: ‘I think Carrie has a much more relaxed look that others wives. She clearly has an eye for fashion and hasn’t let that slip while in the public eye, which is refreshing. Carrie has been seen in some Key trend pieces. She hasn’t left her personality or sense of style.’

The relaxed look continued with Miss Symonds’ hair. James Johnson told how the Prime Minister’s girlfriend is very much a ‘woman of the now’.
‘Carrie is bringing some much needed hair goals back into Downing Street,’ he said. From the effortless waves, to the warm golden blonde perfect for this winter period.
‘I’m excited to see how she’ll experiment with different styles, and perhaps colour in the upcoming year. Overall, It’s nice to see a less polished Lady in number 10 compared to previous wives.
‘All of which are beautiful in their own way, but I am however enjoying this edgier, more quirky woman.’
