<p>Today the 38-year-old may be careful in cultivating an ordinary look by shunning high fashion for off-the-peg clothes from the high street, but the pictures show that Samantha once cut an altogether more vampish dash.<br /><br />Taken a year or two after the couple's wedding in 1996 and before David Cameron became an MP, the photographs reveal a more coquettish side to the baronet's daughter, better known for her "high street chic" style, the 'Daily Mail' reported.<br />The pictures, published by the British newspaper, show Samantha wearing the creations of a female designer friend and proved a natural in front of the camera.<br /><br />Fashion writer Alison Jane Reid, who organised the shoot, said: "The camera loved her. She had all the features you look for in a model: clear, radiant skin, a symmetrical face, wonderful long hair, a model's body and those legs.<br />"She was very poised, very confident. As you can see, she looks sensational, stunning. Lucky David Cameron." <br /><br />The pictures were uncovered when Reid, who has styled Carla Bruni – the model-turned-wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy – discovered the slides in a box of photos in the attic of her Isle of Wight home.<br /><br />In one photo, Samantha reclines in a black velvet devore evening gown holding a lambskin address book entitled 'Blondes, Brunettes and Redheads'.<br />In a more playful image, taken in a basement flat in Fulham, West London, she can be seen sprawled on the floor modelling a beige sheepskin shearling mini dress, playing with a black kitten.<br /><br />In another photo her small dolphin tattoo is visible on her ankle as she poses on a chair in a scarlet satin mini shift dress with matching peep-toe heels.<br />Reid said: "These were taken in 1997 or 1998, when Samantha Cameron was totally unknown. There isn't a great deal I remember about the day -- it was just a favour for a friend of a friend -- but I do remember the model very well."</p>
