Foreign Secretary David Lammy pointed out that US presidents and first ladies have generous taxpayer-funded clothing budgets, unlike most aspects of UK leadership funding.
He emphasized the disparity between the US leadership’s funding and that of the UK, noting how US tax dollars help maintain an appearance for their leaders.
However, it was clarified that while US presidents have expenses for clothing, their spouses, historically first ladies, do not have a specific clothing budget.
Former first ladies have expressed their struggles with the 'fashion expectations' of being in the public eye, highlighting the cost of maintaining an appealing wardrobe.
