THE former aide linked to Boris Johnson dresses up like a schoolgirl Britney Spears in newly emerged photographs.
Carrie Symonds, 30, wore pigtails for the boozy school-themed bash — and an outfit just like Britney’s from her Baby One More Time video.
Boris, 54, has grown close to former Tory PR chief Carrie while wife Marina Wheeler is preparing to file for divorce, citing the MP’s “adultery”.
Carrie has vanished since The Sun exclusively revealed his marital woes and she failed to turn up on her first day at her new PR job with Bloomberg yesterday.
Photos emerged of her posing with student pals before a fancy dress night at Warwick University in 2007.
Pigtailed blonde Carrie downs martinis and smiles for the camera in a short, tight-fitting green school dress, white cardigan, knee-high socks and sandals.
She and a girl pal point playfully to their mouths in one snap while another female chum gives Carrie a kiss on the cheek at the university’s halls of residence.
A former student, who was there with Carrie for three years, said: “It was a Back to School-themed party at the students’ union so everyone was dressed up together in various uniforms.
“It is a bit surprising that Carrie worked for the Tories, considering that she did a theatre studies degree.”
After graduating in 2009, Carrie went on to land a top role in the Conservatives’ communications department.
Carrie recently left the party, amid concerns she was too friendly with leading Brexiteers, including Boris and Michael Gove.
But the defiant politician — who has repeatedly been accused of infidelity — yesterday gave photographers a double thumbs-up from his car.
He was pictured returning home from a shopping trip with a French loaf and an M&S bag, apparently still wearing the clothes from the day before.
Meanwhile, Carrie has not been seen since The Sun told on Friday how Boris’ marriage was over.
Carrie, of Richmond, South West London, was due to start her new job yesterday with technology giant Bloomberg — where she will be promoting clean oceans.
But she failed to turn up to their posh City offices near the Bank of England after her bosses agreed to delay her start due to the political scandal.
A Bloomberg spokesman said: “Symonds’ start date had been deferred at her request.”
It was not clear last night when she would start work.
