If there's one thing that Angela Rayner, Kate Middleton and Daisy Edgar-Jones all have in common, it's their affinity for one British high street brand: ME+EM. As the Labour party claimed victory in election last year, we saw Victoria Starmer walk into Number 10 Downing Street with her husband, the new Prime Minister, wearing a red £275 midi dress with contrast stitching, which has sold out in every size. Rayner, too, has chosen the brand's jackets, dresses and jumpsuits for official engagements throughout the election campaign, suggesting that this label is now no longer just the secret weapon for the Princess of Wales. In fact, the brand's appeal goes far beyond the British royals or Members of Parliament - case in point, Leighton Meester who just stepped out in the perfect ME+EM spring outfit.

The actor embraced the new season with ME+EM's popular Dogtooth Short-Sleeve Jacket layered over the brand's Merino Cashmere Baby Tee in cream, completing the look with a pair of light wash denim jeans and suede ballet flats. Is this the perfect spring outfit? We'd argue as much.

And that's not all. Earlier this year, Daisy Edgar Jones was spotted arriving at the Almeida Theatre in London wearing the Shower-Proof Swing Mac and Italian Flannel Wide-Leg Pant, both of which are currently available to purchase online and in stores. Edgar-Jones paired the look with a simple white tee, platform brogues and a Gucci shoulder bag.

Angela Rayner has worn several ME+EM items previously, including a £395 jumpsuit and a pleated front midi dress, now £228 in the sale.

Over the Christmas, Princess Beatrice stepped out for the Christmas carol service wearing ME+EM's Silk Floral Print Midi Dress paired with a very on-trend burgundy coat and red velvet pumps.

The brand also made waves at Wimbledon, where it was spotted on two occasions in the Royal Box, first on Zara Tindall, who wore the out-of-stock Shadow Berry Print Maxi Dress (also seen this week on Queen Mary of Denmark). Carole Middleton, meanwhile, attended day 10 of the tennis wearing the label's Cotton Silk Petal Burst Midi Dress, which is also sold out.

Another A-lister who loves ME+EM? Katie Holmes, who chose this navy knitted ME+EM dress last month while out in New York.

But what makes the brand's knitted dresses so perfect? I've always loved the comfort and versatility of a knit dress; smart enough to wear to work - just wear with ballet flats, a neat leather handbag and a oversized blazer for an office-friendly win - but relaxed enough to wear with flip-flops and sunnies for days out and about, this is one hard-working wardrobe hero.

Nyong'o styled hers with a leopard print waist belt from Banana Republic and strappy heels, but this would look equally great with flat sandals. In cooler months, try with layers underneath and knee-high boots.
