As the 45-year-old emerged from Number 10 by David’s side today to leave Downing Street for the last time she didn’t disappoint.

The former Smythson creative director wore a £1,490 graphic print short prom dresses by Serbian-born designer Roksanda to accompany her husband to Buckingham Palace as he officially tendered his resignation.
The elegant dress with a zip front comes from the Central St Martin graduate’s 10 year anniversary capsule collection.
Samantha paired her bold garment with simple accessories including black suede pointed court shoes and a patent black belt.
And taking after their mother in the style stakes were the Camerons’ two young daughters, Nancy, 12, and Florence, five.
Both Cameron girls looked charming in floral dresses from the Notting Hill boutique I Love Gorgeous but while Nancy was in a blue and green print smock dress worth £48.30, Florence’s £32.50 frock had a pink print.
Florence’s outfit was finished with a pair of gold Mary Jane T-bar shoes also from the same shop, priced at £65.
Elwen, 10, was dressed in a white shirt, jeans and a pair of trendy high top Vans sneakers priced at £52 as he watched his father’s historic speech.
David Cameron paid an emotional tribute to his family as he bid farewell to Downing Street tonight, describing Samantha as ’the love of my life’.
The former Prime Minister took to the podium while his 45-year-old wife stood to the side with their children.
As he gave his final speech outside Number 10, Cameron said it’s been the ’greatest honour of my life to serve our country as prime minister’.
He also said of Samantha - his spouse of 20 years - that she was the most ’amazing wife, mother and businesswoman’.
The decision to pose for photos in front of the world’s media was an unprecedented first for the Camerons and their children stole the show as they tried to put a brave face on an emotional occasion.
Florence clutched on to her big sister and clung on to her mother’s dress.
The family then climbed into two different cars and left Britain’s most famous address - that Sam Cam admitted to being ’terrified’ of before they moved in - for the last time.
The Camerons could hardly have imagined the events of today when they celebrated the Conservative victory just over a year ago.
They began the day with the couple going to David’s final PMQs at the House of Commons, before making their final trip to Downing Street before the arrival of its new tenant Theresa May.
Although Samantha has admitted to being ’daunted’ about moving in six years ago, as the bittersweet moment arrived, she looked sombre.
As during her time as chateleine of Britain’s most famous address, the 45-year-old has managed to turn it into a family home that has seen her host charity events as well as VIP guests including royalty and the Obamas.
Last year Samantha admitted to ITV’s Tom Bradbury: ’When we moved here it was incredibly daunting. I was terrified of the impact it was going to have on the children, on us as a family, on our marriage.
’But it’s been much easier than I expected it to be.’
Their arrival at the famous address came at a time of huge change for their family. Just a year before their beloved son Ivan, who had cerebral palsy and epilepsy, died aged just six.
Mrs Cameron recalled the shock of moving into Number 10. ‘I remember day one, I was doing Nancy’s homework with her at home in W10 [their house in North Kensington] and suddenly Dave rings, ’You’d better get a dress on because we’re about to go and see the Queen.”
I thought, ’Oh my gosh, what am I going to wear?’ I was five months pregnant at the time. We zoomed off to the palace – so surreal.’
She gave birth to their second daughter Florence Rose Endellion during a family holiday in Cornwall just three months later and the Camerons moved into the flat at Number 11, which became a family home as well as a political residence.
She famously told Mail On Sunday:‘The truth is I am not a very hands-on political wife; I don’t get involved in day-to-day Downing Street life.
’They don’t need me interfering, but in the evening we will talk about each other’s day. I try to stay out of the Westminster village. There are times when I will be surprised and curious about what’s been announced.
Her aim was to create a happy well-organised family environment that David could retreat to - ‘to keep him sane and keep things in perspective’.
