By Toni Jones PUBLISHED: 12:04 EST, 24 September 2013 | UPDATED: 13:54 EST, 24 September 2013 Just 24 hours earlier, she had rallied the faithful by proclaiming she would be 'more than a dress' in the battle for Number 10. But today Justine Miliband laid aside the austere black frock she picked for her address to the Labour party conference and slipped into something a little more feminine for husband Ed's keynote speech. The outfit, a £245 navy jacquard design by LK Bennett, exuded grown-up sophistication. It was a fitting choice for a high-flying barrister who until recently has been one of Britain’s more reticent political wives.
