Carrie Symonds chooses Marks & Spencer coat and boots for arrival at No.10 after election victory

Boris Johnson's girlfriend, Carrie Symonds, walked into Number 10 alongside the Prime Minister following the landslide Conservative election win.

The 31-year-old PR guru looked cosy and casual in a black polo neck worn over a green satin fishtail skirt and black tights.

Symonds finished the look with an oatmeal-coloured wool blend herringbone coat and a pair of black suede Victoriana-style pair of lace-up ankle boots, both of which are from Marks & Spencer.

The coat costs £69 (shop it here), and the shoes an austerity-friendly £45 (shop them here), and both are still available to purchase online.

Since entering the political limelight, Symonds has made a habit of championing the British high street.

She has worn dresses from & Other Stories and Ghost, and at the Remembrance Day service she also rocked another M&S coat – similar in style to today's, but navy in colour.

Carrie, who wore her hair in loose waves and added a pop of colour with pink lipstick, was accompanied into Downing Street by her dog Dilyn.
