Introducing the new British first lady

British women often get stereotyped as being unattractive, and while there are so many Brits who are gorgeous, I do have to say the fashions of the new Prime Minister's wife are no better than her predecessor.

While I understand the choice of red and white for Sarah Brown due to her gorgeous light auburn hair, what I don't understand is why she would do such an injustice to her body by wearing either of these frocks (I just had to get the word in!).

While belts are good to accentuate the waist, the pockets and large loops on the cream suit below just add width where it is not needed. Plus, this picture doesn't show it, but there is a front slit! At right I have to give her mad prop for wearing bright red, 3+-inch stiletto peep-toe slingbacks, but the rest of the outfit is so matronly. Very Chico's-esque.
