Carrie Johnson wears elegant floral gown as she arrives at the G7 reception

Carrie Johnson has showcased her style prowess once again this evening as she arrived at the G7 reception in an elegant floral gown.

The newlywed, who married Prime Minister Boris Johnson on May 29, dazzled in a rented The Vampire’s Wife frock when attending the event, hosted by the Queen and Prince Charles at the Eden Project, in Cornwall, following the start of the summit today.

Arriving hand-in-hand with her husband, Carrie, 33, put her best fashion foot forward in the multi-coloured dress – priced at £805 when bought new – teamed with rented yellow Prada heels.

Carrie’s dress when bought as new is an eye-watering £805, however the Prime Minister’s wife has shown a love for rental fashion apps and websites so far during her trip. 

And she didn’t disappoint this time around, with the dress, from celebrity-loved brand The Vampire’s Wife, being rented from British website HURR.

Letting the statement black, red and gold silk garment do all the talking, Carrie kept her accessories to a minimum, wearing dainty drop earrings from Cornish designer Mirri Damer.

The local fashion creator makes everything herself and is inspired by the natural environment surrounding her. 

Known for her vibrant outfits, mother-of-one Carrie added a pop of colour to her ensemble with a bright yellow Gucci clutch bag and matching Prada shoes rented from MyWardrobeHq. 

She kept hair styled loose, while wearing a smattering of glamorous makeup to complete her glamorous look. 

Carrie’s appearance this evening comes after the mother-of-one was left beaming earlier today after she bumped elbows with Justin Trudeau as she and Boris formally greeted G7 leaders for the first time. 

The Canadian Prime Minister has become the unlikely political crush of women everywhere since being elected  – and it seems not even Carrie is immune to his charms.  

She was seen today sharing a friendly moment with Trudeau as the newlyweds welcomed guests to the official start of the summit one by one on a beachfront board walk on Carbis Bay.  

As Trudeau approached he put on a face mask before bumping elbows with Boris and turning his attention to Carrie to say: ‘It’s lovely to meet you Carrie’. 

Boris then shared some brief words with the pair, who were seen sharing a short conversation and laughing before posing for a photograph.  

The 33-year-old opted for a vibrant pink Roksanda gown, initially costing £1,395, which she hired from rental website Hurr. 

Boris was last seen publicly with Trudeau when the pair met ahead of the last G7 summit held in Biarritz, France, almost two years before he and Carrie tied the knot last month. 

The pair wed in a ‘small ceremony’ at Westminster Cathedral this May after an extraordinary cloak-and-dagger operation to keep the event secret – with a bigger celebration planned for next summer.

It was Carrie’s biggest outing on the world stage today as she also met Angela Merkel, Mario Draghi, Emanuel Macron and Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.

The Prime Minister’s new wife is playing a pivotal role in the summit by hosting the spouses of world leaders while their counterparts thrash out solutions to global issues. 

Yesterday she even went paddling with First Lady Jill Biden and her one-year-old son Wilfred. Carrie was seen laughing with the 70-year-old as they dipped their toes in the Cornish sea.  

Jill said today that it was ‘wonderful’ to spend time with Carrie, insisting the ‘special relationship’ between the US and the UK ‘continues.’

The VERY rock and roll brand loved by celebrities and royals alike: How Carrie Johnson opted for trendy The Vampire’s Wife for G7 reception 

Carrie Johnson wowed in a rented The Vampire’s Wife frock when attending the G7 reception, hosted by the Queen and Prince Charles at the Eden Project, in Cornwall, following the start of the summit today. 

The brand, beloved by royals including Kate Middleton and Princess Beatrice, has developed a cult following, with celebrity fans including Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller, Cate Blanchett and Keira Knightley.

It’s famed for pretty prairie dresses infused with a dose of gothic glam, which are frequently spotted on red carpets. 

The brand was launched by former model Suzie Cave in 2014, and takes its name from an unfinished novel by her husband Nick Caves, and the clothes provide a wardrobe befitting such a title.

The brand is much beloved by royals, with the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Beatrice stepping out in the label over the last few years.

Kate donned a £1,595 emerald gown by The Vampire’s Wife as she joined Prince William for an evening reception at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin in March 2020.

The ensemble closely resembled the green dress by the same designer that Princess Beatrice wore to Ellie Goulding’s wedding last September.

Beatrice wore a £1,695 ‘The Veneration’ tiered silk-blend lamé dress by The Vampire’s Wife to the singer’s nuptials at York Minster Cathedral last year.

Meanwhile, in October 2020, H&M’s collaboration with the brand sold out in just 24 hours as shoppers compared buying pieces from the line with ‘getting a Glastonbury ticket’.

Others were left aghast after the pieces quickly appeared on resale sites such as eBay for more than four times their original price.

The limited edition line promised to be ‘progressive in both attitude and fabrication’, with whimsical dresses and gothic capes amoung the pieces for sale from just £9.99.

The Vampire’s Wife x H&M collection was also made from sustainably sourced materials, utilizing recycled nylon and polyester.

According to H&M the collection was ‘bold and feminine’, featuring a mix of gothic lace dresses with chic velvet and silvery capes.

Statement pieces included the lace mystique mini dress with signature shoulders, the velvety mini dress with sensual pussy-bow and the romantic silvery lace cape.

Accessorizes were whimsical with charm necklaces, bracelets and ear cuffs featuring eye, cloud and vampire teeth iconography.
