Akshata Murty, the renowned businesswoman, fashion designer, and wife of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has earned the prestigious top spot on Tatler's annual list of Britain's best-dressed personalities for 2023. Fondly known as the "First Lady Fabulous," her impeccable style and love for cool-girl labels have captured the hearts of fashion enthusiasts across the nation.

At the recent G7 summit in Japan, all eyes were on Akshata as she made a stylish statement with a pink top paired with green trousers, radiating confidence and grace. Her elegance continued to shine at King Charles' coronation, where she stole the spotlight in a stunning blue dress adorned with a black fascinator.

Taking the second position on Tatler's list is Yana Peel, Chanel's global head of arts and culture, hailed as "the epitome of fabulous." Right behind her, Caroline Primrose, Lady Dalmeny, is celebrated for her regal fashion sense, securing the third spot.

The top 10 also features model Sarah Rose Hanbury, tailor Dominic Sebag-Montefiore, socialite Olivia Buckingham, opera singer Danielle de Niese, property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, versatile actor Bill Nighy, and jewelry designer Sabine Getty.

In Tatler's upcoming September issue, these 25 best-dressed personalities will be showcased, setting trends and inspiring fashion enthusiasts all over the country, according to Chandler Tregaskes, Tatler's style editor.

At 43 years old, Akshata Murty takes pride in being recognized as one of Britain's best-dressed individuals for 2023. Beyond her business acumen, she boasts a keen fashion sense, which extends to her prowess as a talented fashion designer.

Described as an epitome of modern-day diplomatically decadent dressing, Akshata's fashion choices embody "quiet luxury" or "stealth wealth." She has gained attention for donning £570 slippers from JW Anderson during school runs and pairing them with standout £445 Gucci trainers and a leather skirt worth over £1,000.

Recently, Akshata and her husband, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, faced scrutiny for their designer clothing choices, including a £3,500 suit and £490 Prada shoes worn during a campaign. In response, Akshata has taken a conscious shift towards supporting more affordable British brands, revamping her wardrobe while retaining her signature style.

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure.

Three Houses, One Vision – How the UAE’s Abrahamic Family House is Redefining Inter-Faith Dialogue

  When you step onto the stone-plinth of the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, you are not just visiting a building. You are entering a bold statement: a mosque, a church and a synagogue standing side-by-side, equal in size and purpose, sharing common ground while respecting their separate faiths. A landmark of coexistence In early 2023 the UAE inaugurated this pioneering complex, inviting worshippers and visitors alike. The architecture — designed to give each of the three faith-homes the same external dimensions and to signal equality — allows each to express its own traditions while remaining visibly part of a unified vision. More than 200 nationalities live in the UAE, which means the project reflects a multicultural reality in which multiple faiths and identities coexist daily. Islam’s role in the vision For Muslim-majority audiences in the Gulf, the Abrahamic Family House sends a resonant message: Islam does not fear dialogue — it embraces it. The m...

Beyond the Handshake: How the EU-UAE Partnership is Forging a New Model for 21st-Century Trade

  We are witnessing a pivotal moment in international relations, not in the halls of Washington or Beijing, but in the vibrant heart of Dubai. The ongoing negotiations between the European Union and the United Arab Emirates for a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and a parallel Strategic Partnership Agreement represent far more than a simple trade deal. This is a conscious, data-backed effort to build a deep and strategic partnership designed to thrive amid global economic uncertainty. The Foundation: A Trade Relationship Already in High Gear Before the first negotiation even began, the economic ties were already formidable. In 2024, trade in goods between the EU and UAE reached a staggering €55.6 billion, solidifying the UAE’s position as the EU’s second-largest trading partner in the Gulf region. The services sector adds another robust layer, with trade exceeding €39 billion in 2023. The growth trajectory is equally impressive; EU exports to the UAE saw a 15% surge in a si...
