Irish podcaster and model Vogue Williams, 40, demonstrated her resilience against the elements as she stepped out in London on Wednesday, braving the wind, rain, and cold in a surprisingly summery ensemble. The television personality bared her legs in stylish brown jorts, adding a vibrant touch with burnt orange mules while keeping her upper half warm with a cosy cream roll neck jumper.
Fashion Meets Function in the Capital
Vogue's appearance outside Global Studios showcased her ability to blend seasonal styles with practical warmth, creating a look that defied the gloomy weather conditions. Meanwhile, fellow celebrity Ashley Roberts also made a stylish departure from Heart Radio nearby, cutting a chic figure in a suede dress and brown oversized jacket as she quickly shielded her face from the persistent rain.
Temporary Home Transformation
The fashion moment comes as Vogue and her husband Spencer Matthews navigate a significant housing transition. The couple, who share three children - Theodore, eight, Otto, four, and daughter Gigi, six - officially moved out of their £4.25 million Battersea flat last week and have now settled into a rented property where they'll reside for approximately 18 months.
Creating Cosiness in Temporary Quarters
Vogue has been generously sharing glimpses of their rental transformation with fans, demonstrating her commitment to making the temporary space feel like home. Taking to Instagram, she revealed her living room makeover, which features a stylish blue L-shaped sofa from her new collection alongside a coordinated blue and white striped arm chair.
The room transformation includes several thoughtful touches:
- A large white and blue striped rug covering the wooden floor
- A round coffee table positioned centrally with decorative books and a vase
- Strategically placed plants adding natural elements throughout the space
- A dedicated area for children's toys including a dolls house and storage units
Family-Focused Spaces
The rental property has been carefully arranged to accommodate the entire family comfortably. Vogue showed off children Teddy and Gigi's bedroom, which features an innovative white bunk bed complete with an exciting slide. The room maximises space with a small desk, bookcase, and clothing rails. Youngest child Otto's bedroom showcases a cheerful green and white checked bed where he appears thoroughly delighted with his new temporary quarters.
The 'Forever Home' Journey
This temporary arrangement follows the couple's significant property milestone achieved in June, when they purchased what Vogue describes as their "forever home" in London. In a December YouTube vlog, Vogue revealed they had finally sold the first home they lived in together - the Battersea apartment where all three children were born during their seven-year residence.
Renovation Realities
The new period property, located not far from their previous apartment, requires extensive renovations that will take approximately 18 months to complete. Vogue explained they chose a rental property nearby specifically to maintain continuity for their children's schooling during this transitional period.
Vogue's degree in quantity surveying has proven invaluable during the renovation planning process, helping to manage budgets and expectations. She admitted to being so excited about the new house that she couldn't conceal her enthusiasm from estate agents, potentially affecting their negotiating position. The property boasts numerous original features including fireplaces, cornicing, and ceiling roses, along with a substantial garden that will be modified to create a large lawn for the children.
Property Market Navigation
The couple's property journey has involved significant market adjustments. They initially listed their Battersea apartment for £5.25 million two years ago, subsequently reducing the price by a staggering £1 million before finally achieving a sale. This included a £450,000 reduction earlier this year when the property was re-listed at £4.7 million.
Vogue explained their motivation for moving, noting that while their apartment was "great," its two-floor layout didn't work practically for their family with young children who couldn't be left unsupervised on different levels. The search for more suitable space has led them to their current temporary rental and future dream home, while they maintain another property in Howth, Dublin, purchased in late 2023.
Throughout this substantial lifestyle transition, Vogue continues to balance her professional commitments with family life, sharing both her fashion moments and domestic transformations with an engaged audience following her journey from Battersea apartment to temporary rental and ultimately to their carefully planned forever home.
