>Sarah Brown rents clothes

英首相夫人租衣穿(图)

Sarah Brown (see photo), the UK Prime Minister's wife, has resorted to renting expensive designer clothes for official occasions, the Daily Telegraph reported. Mrs Brown paid hundreds of pounds of her own money to rent a ￡9000 top worn at last week's G20 summit dinner. Mrs Brown's approach is in stark contrast to that adopted by her predecessor, Cherie Blair, who was criticized for receiving free clothes or discounts worth thousands of pounds from top designers.

据英国《每日电讯报》近日报道，英国首相布朗的夫人萨拉(见图)出席重要活动时穿的昂贵服饰，竟多数是向设计师租来的。萨拉上周在G20峰会晚宴穿的上衣市价9000英镑，就是她自掏腰包花几百英镑租来的。萨拉的做法与前任首相夫人切丽·布莱尔截然相反，切丽常因向顶级设计师索取昂贵时装或要求打低折而遭指责。
