How Theresa switched from glum to glam: Prime Minister shows off smile and eye-catching dress as she joins stars at the Pride Of Britain awards

With a sex-pest scandal convulsing Parliament, you could forgive Theresa May for looking weary as another working week began.

However, by last night the Prime Minister was a woman transformed as she swapped Westminster for Mayfair.

Red lipstick highlighted a beaming smile as she attended the Pride of Britain awards at Grosvenor House – in stark contrast to the expression captured in Downing Street that morning.

 

 

Mrs May, who stopped to sign autographs outside the event, wore an eye-catching black dress with a lace effect – and also appeared to have a glucose monitor on her arm. 

The device is used by diabetes sufferers like the Prime Minister to check their blood, to help decide when they should inject themselves with insulin.

During the awards ceremony, Mrs May took to the stage with Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn and leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Vince Cable to pay tribute to the heroism of Pc Keith Palmer.
