Carrie Symonds joins spouses of world leaders attending the G20 summit at the Colosseum

Carrie Johnson put on a striking display in a £59.99 recycled red Zara blazer and coordinating skirt as she arrived to visit Rome’s ancient Colosseum in Italy today.

The 33-year-old, who is expecting her second child with the Prime Minister, joined spouses of world leaders attending the G20 summit a day before the start of the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow that will be hosted by Boris Johnson, 57. 

Opting once again for a powerful red ensemble, Carrie, who wore a £360 red dress from sustainable label Cabbages & Roses earlier this month, waved as she arrived to the historical landmark, wearing a black facemask. 

It is thought that Boris will use his ‘secret weapon’ Carrie to charm world leaders into taking action in his ‘save the world plea’ to stop climate change tomorrow. 

Carrie looked stylish in the red blazer emblazoned with gold buttons, matching it with a floral skirt and low red slingback heels.

Wearing her hair in loose waves, she appeared in good spirits as she kept her masks on while making her way into the ancient amphitheatre.

The colour red appears to be Carrie’s preferred hue of the moment, with Britain’s first lady wearing four scarlet ensembles in recent months.

Earlier this month, Carrie opted for a £360 red dress from sustainable British brand Cabbages & Roses as she supported husband Boris at his keynote speech at the Tory Party conference. 

This is the second time Carrie has worn the red Zara blazer, after attending the Manchester Central Convention Complex in the blazer and a £27.99 white collared shirt with a bow, both from Zara.

COP26 begins on Sunday at Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus (SEC) and will welcome 30,000 delegates, 10,000 police and as many as 200,000 protesters for the 13-day conference.

It is the first face-to-face summit of the G20 since Covid struck, and has faced various complications.

Last week the Queen announced she would be unable to attend in person, taking advice from medical professionals to rest. 

Additionally, flooding caused major delays for world leaders heading to the summit today – with one train firm urging passengers ‘not to travel’ across the border due to disruption after two road bridges were ‘washed away’ amid torrential rain.

Avanti West Coast – which runs services between London Euston and Glasgow, where the climate conference begins on Sunday – said Network Rail had imposed a series of speed restrictions for safety at several locations.
