While her new Prime Minister beau, Andy Burnham, took front and centre stage on Downing Street on Monday, our eyes couldn't help but be drawn to his beautiful wife Marie France van Heel.
While she may be a relative newcomer to the spotlight, you would never have guessed based on her A-list sartorial choice as she arrived at Number 10 to start her new life.
Marie slipped into a powder blue masterpiece by none other than the UK's own Victoria Beckham for her milestone day, which marked her husband's first as Britain's Prime Minister.
The pastel gown featured dramatic puffed sleeves, an elegant V-neckline and a fishtail-style skirt. Marie completed her look with the pointed-toe heels of dreams that featured intricate white embroidery.
Marie swept her platinum locks back into a slicked bun; her camera-ready makeup look comprised of warm honey-hued bronzer, black eye makeup and deep red lipstick.
VB's all-eyes fashion moment came just days after her fellow Spice Girl Mel C wore one of her designs to wed her new husband, Chris Dingwall.
Marie France's spotlight-stealing sartorial portfolio
This isn't the only look from Marie that has caught our attention. Earlier this month, Marie was a summer vision in a sage green lace co-ord from M&S.
The ensemble in question was long-sleeved and paired by Marie with Boden cork wedges, a killer addition to the all-lace look.
If Marie's latest looks are anything to go by, we can expect to see a stand-out selection of winning looks from the Dutch-born marketing executive, who looks like she will be shortly joining the ranks of 'first ladies' with striking sartorial prowess.
Victoria Starmer, the wife of former Prime Minister Keir Starmer, was known for her immaculate style while and she her husband occupied Number 10.
The 'coolest girl in college'
Marie is quickly garnering a reputation as the ultimate 'cool-girl' wife - and we can see why.
Not only did she appear on Cilla Black's iconic 90s dating show Blind Date, but she was literally coined the "coolest girl in college" when she met fellow undergraduate and future husband, Andy, at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge.
And while you might be confused thinking about the timelines of the pair dating and Marie's on-screen appearance, you have every reason to be, because Marie actually asked her then-boyfriend Andy, if it was ok for her to appear on the show, and he, surprisingly, encouraged her to go for it.
But thankfully for our new Prime Minister, she and Will Harris from Surrey didn't spark fireworks and the pair were reunited.
