Akshata Murty stood beside her husband Rishi Sunak as he delivered his final speech outside 10 Downing Street following a decisive defeat to the Labour Party in the recent UK elections. While the spotlight naturally fell on the Conservative Party's future and the election results, social media chatter swiftly diverted to Ms. Murty's attire.

Her striking red, white, and blue chevron gown, later revealed as the £395 (approximately Rs 42,000) Lina Dress from designer Omi Na Na, captured considerable attention. Comments varied widely, from discussions on the dress's color palette and design to its hefty price tag. Positioned somewhat in the background, her outfit prompted speculation, with some speculating whether her bold fashion choice—echoing the hues of the UK flag—was a calculated move amidst the country's evolving political landscape.

"Akshata Murty's dress is absolutely perfect for the occasion. The layered symbolism is just perfect," enthused one user on the social media platform X.

However, not all reactions were complimentary. Some suggested the dress might have been a deliberate distraction from Mr. Sunak's speech.

"Was it an attempt to divert attention from Sunak's speech?" mused one user, with another adding, "Akshata seems desperate to overshadow her husband with that horrendous dress."

Nevertheless, there were those who praised the gown, describing it as "stylish and fun" and simply "beautiful."

In a lighter vein, one commenter quipped that the dress resembled a zebra disguise, while another humorously remarked, "That dress looks like a distress signal and a cry for help."

The dress's price tag also sparked debate, with one user noting, "Akshata Sunak's dress cost £395, and she'll probably never wear it again. That money could feed my entire family for over a month."

Rishi Sunak, known as the wealthiest individual to have served as UK Prime Minister, further enhances his family's financial standing with Akshata Murty, daughter of Infosys founder Narayana Murthy. According to the 2024 Sunday Times Rich List, the couple's combined fortune is estimated at an impressive £651 million, cementing their status as the wealthiest residents of 10 Downing Street to date.
