Lady Hale Just Delivered A Historic Ruling For Our Democracy, So Naturally We’re All Talking About Her Brooches

A monumental moment in UK politics occurred this morning: Boris Johnson's suspension of parliament was deemed ‘unlawful’ by the Supreme Court and his advice to the Queen of ‘improper purpose’.

The woman behind that judgement? Lady Hale.

Lady Hale, who is the president of the Supreme Court, delivered her verdict to an outpouring of support. And while people were quick to praise her judgement, there was something else that grabbed our collective attention. Lady Hale is an absolute boss when it comes to brooches.

Her brooch-boss ways also inspired a t-shirt, the profits from which will go Shelter. Balcony Shirts made the garment available in record time, with MP Jess Phillips declaring her desire to wear it. Click here to find out more.

Of course, there's a lot more to Lady Hale than her taste in jewellery.

Also known as Brenda Hale, Baroness Hale of Richmond is a British judge whom has served as president of the Supreme Court since 2017. The first woman to serve in the role, she is one of only three who have been appointed to the Supreme Court in total. Throughout her career she has made a habit of being the first woman appointed to a role.

In conclusion: brilliant legal mind, pioneering career woman, absolute queen of pin-on jewellery.
