Earlier in the year there was some discussion about Inauguration an what would you choose to wear....should you be in that position!!

Yesterday NZ had a new Prime Minister sworn in, Jacinda Ardern. She is 37 and the leader of the Labour Party (centre left on the political spectrum).

Ardern was only elected leader three months prior to the election, although she is an experienced politician.

I do not know who designed her outfit, nor has there been any discussion about it. Here she is pictured with her partner Clarke Gayford, and with our Governor General (Queen's representative, Dame Patsy Reddy).

While their clothes are the least interesting thing about them in many ways I was interested in what they chose given the occasion - they both did very well.
