UK PM's wife Akshata Murty tops Tatler's Best-Dressed List for 2023 with diplomatic decadence

In a fashion triumph, Akshata Murty, wife of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has been crowned the best-dressed individual in Britain for 2023, according to Tatler magazine's highly regarded compilation. Chandler Tregaskes, Tatler's style editor, lauded her modern-day approach to dressing, likening her to the iconic Jackie Kennedy. Akshata's sophisticated fashion choices have captured the spotlight and garnered her widespread acclaim.

The esteemed list by Tatler also features prominent personalities like Love Actually star Bill Nighy, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, husband of Princess Beatrice, adding to its international allure with Canadians Yana Peel, Dominic Sebag-Montefiore, and opera singer Danielle de Niese.

Akshata Murty, aged 43, has repeatedly made headlines for her impeccable fashion sense, often characterized as "quiet luxury" or "stealth wealth." She was recently seen wearing luxurious slippers worth 570 Pounds (approximately Rs 60k) from JW Anderson during the school run, further solidifying her position as a style icon. Her appearances in Gucci trainers valued at 445 Pounds (approximately Rs 47k) and a leather skirt exceeding 1,000 Pounds (approximately Rs 1 lakhs) have also caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts.


Notably, Akshata's fashion choices have undergone a shift, particularly after some controversy surrounding her and Rishi Sunak's designer clothing selections, including the Prime Minister's campaign attire last July, which drew mockery. To embrace a new facet of her style, she has turned to more affordable British brands, showcasing her versatility and adaptability in the realm of fashion.

Akshata Murty's sartorial flair not only stems from her individuality but also from her illustrious background as the daughter of billionaire and Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy and philanthropist-author Sudha Murty. Her keen eye for style and her ability to effortlessly merge diplomatic decadence with contemporary trends have truly made her the reigning queen of British fashion in 2023.
