Akshata Murty, wife of former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, recently caught the public eye for her fashion choice during Sunak’s farewell speech outside 10 Downing Street. The event followed a significant electoral defeat for the Conservative Party, prompting discussions not only about political outcomes but also about Murty’s attire.

Murty adorned a striking red, white, and blue chevron gown, identified as the Lina Dress from designer Omi Na Na, priced at £395 (approximately ₹42,000). This choice of outfit, featuring colors resembling the UK flag, sparked considerable attention and commentary across social media platforms.

While some praised the symbolism and aesthetic of Murty’s dress, describing it as “perfect for the occasion” and appreciating its layered symbolism, others speculated about its potential motives. Questions arose whether the bold fashion statement was intended to subtly convey a message amidst the shifting political landscape in the UK.

However, not all reactions were positive. Criticism emerged suggesting that the dress might have been a deliberate attempt to divert attention from Sunak’s speech. Such comments reflected a broader discourse on the intersection of fashion, politics, and public perception.

Rishi Sunak, known for his substantial wealth, holds the distinction of being the wealthiest person to have served as UK Prime Minister. His wife, Akshata Murty, contributes to their financial status as the daughter of Narayana Murthy, the billionaire founder of Infosys. According to the 2024 Rich List by the Sunday Times, the couple’s combined fortune is estimated at a noteworthy £651 million, solidifying their status as the wealthiest residents of 10 Downing Street to date.

The incident underscores how even in political settings, fashion choices can become focal points, inviting scrutiny and interpretations that extend beyond mere aesthetics. As political figures navigate public appearances, every detail, including attire, can become a subject of public interest and discussion.
