Theresa May boobs with Aztec ‘cleavage’ patterned dress as she faces first round of Tory leader voting

The Home Secretary's fashion choices have been a source for debate on social media

AS the competition for Prime Minister heats up, all eyes are on Theresa May… but probably not for the reason she intended.

Attending a Cabinet meeting this morning, the Home Secretary suffered a rare wardrobe malfunction.

Stepping out of 10 Downing Street, the patterns on her flesh-toned dress unwittingly drew attention to her assets.

It seems that the outfit is clearly an old favourite of Theresa’s, as she was pictured wearing it in 2014.

Two years ago, the Home Secretary gave a speech to the House of Commons, where she backed emergency government legislation.

As she declared her support for the law, which allows British spies to access members of the public’s phone calls, texts and emails, viewers were more concerned about her dress.

Following the awkward TV broadcast, many social media users were quick to leap to the Home Secretary’s defence.

One argued: “I like Theresa May’s dress sense. #confessyourunpopularopinion”, while another agreed: “Theresa May is a fashion icon.”

The MP’s outfit choices have been a hot topic of discussion since trendy Theresa stepped out in a pair of LK Bennett leopard-print heels at a conference in 2002.

It's not the first time that Theresa's dress sense has caused a stir on social media.

Earlier this year, during the Budget 2016, her plunging red dress certainly upstaged George Osborne.

One Twitter user remarked: "I must admit, Theresa May's cleavage during the budget was far more interesting than George Osborne."

Another added: "Theresa May's bosom was a bit of a focus puller. Good on her #Budget2016."

Currently, Conservative MPs are in the process of selecting their leader, who will replace David Cameron as UK prime minister.

Theresa May is running against Minister of State for Energy Andrea Leadsom, Secretary of State for Justice Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Defence Liam Fox and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Stephen Crabb.

So far, Theresa May appears to be the front-runner, as she has the highest number of MPs that have declared support for her.
