Lady Victoria Starmer has taken a leaf out of Kate Middleton’s style book as she’s spotted in an elegant cream blazer and midi skirt that Princess Kate would be proud of
Today (July 28) Prime Minister Kier Starmer was joined by his wife, Lady Victoria Starmer, to greet Donald Trump in Scotland during the President’s visit to the UK. For the occasion, Lady Starmer seemed to channel Kate Middleton, in a tonal head-to-toe cream outfit that included a tailored blazer and flowing midi skirt.
Princess Kate has been spotted in several similar outfits recently, and Lady Starmer’s elegant look was perfect for the occasion. Her exact outfit hailed from Saint + Sofia, and good news for those looking to snap up the pieces for themselves, as they’re all still in stock.

For the meeting, Lady Starmer wore the Ashby Jacket, which retails from £249, and the Eliza Pleated Skirt which you can pick up for £149. The combination of tailored jacket and flowing midi skirt has long been a go-to look for Princess Kate, who wore a similar look in 2022 to visit the Royal College of Midwives in London.
Many of Kate’s looks have actually been dresses hailing from brands like Self Portrait, with a similar version currently available for £460 (in very limited sizing), which keeps the outfit cohesive but does limit the wearability of the piece. The beauty of Lady Starmer’s look, however, is that the separates can be easily worn with multiple other things in your wardrobe.
You could easily pair the Ashby Jacket with anything from flowing midi dresses or a simple pair of jeans, whilst the Eliza Pleated Skirt could work anywhere from the office to holiday. Both of Lady Starmer’s pieces also come in an inclusive range of sizes, spanning from a UK6 to a UK22.
The boucle jacket is a wardrobe staple, channelling Chanel’s classic quiet luxury style with its boucle material, patch pockets and collarless neckline. Meanwhile the skirt has a flattering wide waistband, with tailored pleating that gives it plenty of movement and volume.
If you do want a more all-in-one outfit reminiscent of the Princess of Wales, Coast’s Tailored Pleat Skirt Midi Dress is a great affordable option. Currently on sale for £125.10 down from £130, it has a wrapped blazer style bodice, with a pleated sating midi skirt and comes in both champagne and pale blue, making it a great wedding guest outfit.
If you want to copy Lady Starmer’s look (perhaps for a wedding or summer occasion) but prefer to stay away from cream or white-adjacent colours, both the jacket and the skirt come in a variety of other colours and prints. There’s everything from black and white check and pale blue to navy floral prints to pick from, so you can pick up a look that works for any occasion.
