Marie-France van Heel stuns in M&S lace co-ord

Andy Burnham's wife Marie-France van Heel was spotted in a gorgeous M&S lace co-ord during her husband's leadership declaration. She dressed in a mint-green lacy top with a matching midi skirt from Marks & Spencer, proving that glamour doesn't always have to come with a huge price tag.

Outfit Details

She teamed up the look with her hair pulled back in a slick bun with heeled wedges to add some extra height. The Lace Cutwork Detail Blouse (£45) and matching Lace Cutwork Detail Midi Pencil Skirt (£35) have both been described as selling fast on the website.

The blouse comes in a regular fit with an elasticated hem and cuffs for 'easy wear'. For an extra summery look, it's enhanced with cutwork detailing and floral motifs.

Shopper Reviews

Shoppers have described the co-ord as 'airy', making it ideal for warmer weather. With the exact same intricate lace embroidery, the midi pencil skirt is cut in a 'flattering' regular fit with a scalloped hem. It's lined for comfort and fastens with a zip at the back.

For Burnham's first day in office, his wife opted for an elegant floaty dress from Victoria Beckham's 'Edith midi' style in a dusty blue. The dress is made from a crepe fabric with zip closure, flattering cape sleeves and a fitted waist.

Alternative Options

If you'd prefer a co-ord with shorter sleeves, Club L London is also selling this Powder Blue Lace Crew-Neck Crop-Top (£78). It comes with a matching midi skirt for £88 with a 'feminine and elegant' finish.

In the reviews for the M&S co-ord, one shopper said: "Great skirt. Have worn the top and skirt as an outfit. So many compliments." A second review read: "I love everything about this skirt, the colour is a gorgeous emerald green in a lace material, looks sophisticated and the style is classy, just looks great." A third shopper added: "Lovely fit. True to size. Wearing to a wedding in Spain so ideal as fabric is cotton. Both top & skirt can be more separately for a more relaxed look." At the time of writing, there are no negative reviews for the M&S co-ord online.
