Andy Burnham’s ‘cool girl’ wife Marie-France van Heel is a Number 10 vixen in killer look with Kate Middleton-inspired detail

While summer may be drawing to a close, we are still obsessing over Andy Burnham’s wife Marie-France van Heel, who seldom fails to leave us dazzled.

As well as the Cambridge University alumna being described as the ultimate “cool girl” of her year group, we remain besotted with her sartorial portfolio, which effortlessly blends high street and designer labels.

Her latest fashionable foray was earlier this week when she slipped into a gorgeous ballet pink A-line dress with immaculate pleats all the way to the floor, which she paired with a cropped white jacket. 

She and her Prime Minister husband attended the Premier League match between Everton and Crystal Palace, with Andy being a devout fan of the former. 

While we usually see Marie style her ice-blonde platinum locks into a fabulous updo, she opted to keep her tresses down, her ends immaculately flicked up at the ends.

Completing her look, Marie added a pair of black oversized black sunglasses and gold hoop earrings.

The Princess Kate of it all

Adding a royal je ne sai qoit to her ensemble, Marie called on one of the Princess of Wales’ beloved summer shoe styles: theespadrille. 

Marie rocked a towering pair of wedge espadrilles, which appear to be covered in tiny ballet pink flowers. The pair in question were from Boden and had elegant ribbon straps tied in bows around Marie’s ankles.

Kate has been seen wearing a cork wedge countless times from her Chelsea girl days in her early 20’s to recent months.

The future Queen even rocked cork wedges on the night before her royal wedding, sporting a glossy pair in black while waving to fans outside the Goring hotel where she stayed with her mother, Carole Middleton and sister Pippa.

In July, as her husband was confirmed as the Labour Party’s new leader and the country’s next prime minister, during ‘Labour’s Special Conference’ in central London, Marie chose high-street over designer, slipping into a lace co-ord by M&S.

The sage green two-piece was comprised of a long-sleeved blouse and matching pencil skirt, which Marie paired with Boden cork wedges.
