Ms. Ri Sol Ju - wife of North Korean President Kim Jong-un, possesses a discreet and elegant fashion style.

In North Korea, Ms. Ri Sol Ju is not only the wife of the country's leader, President Kim Jong-un, but also a "icon" and "pioneer" of fashion.

Ri, who came from the famous Unhasu Orchestra and was a member of the country's cheerleading squad, is believed to have married Kim Jong-un in 2009, but the news was not made public until 2012.

Like almost every other member of North Korea's most powerful family, Ms. Ri's private life remains a mystery to the world.Some analysts believe that Ms. Ri was born in September 1989, making her 30 years old this year. Sources say she has given birth to three children for Mr. Kim, but this information has not been verified.

Since her public appearance, the First Lady of North Korea has impressed with her delicate face, petite figure and discreet, elegant fashion sense.

BShe often chooses Western-style outfits, usually skirt suits, during public appearances or when traveling abroad with her husband.

Her accessories were simple, including high heels, a clutch, a watch and a brooch. She is known to be a "pioneer" of the short skirt and high heels fashion that is popular in North Korea.

During her visit to China from 7-9/2019 with her husband, Ms. Ri wore an "all-black" outfit with a knee-length skirt, long coat, boots, scarf and clutch bag, looking strong and modern.

During her time in China, she received compliments from the media and online community of the country for her familiar fashion style.

In March 2018, Ms. Ri also accompanied Chairman Kim Jong-un to visit Beijing, China. During this time, Ms. Ri received countless compliments from the Chinese people.William Tang Tat-chi, a Hong Kong fashion designer, commented that Ms. Ri has a sophisticated dressing style without being conservative.

Meanwhile, many netizens were amazed by the elegant beauty of President Kim's wife.

On September 18, 2018, Ms. Ri welcomed South Korean First Lady Kim Jung Sook at the inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang.

In an activity two days later, Ms. Ri looked younger and more dynamic with a long coat and low-cut boots.

The common point of the skirt suits that Mrs. Ri wears is that they are almost all the same color, rarely mixed. Regarding accessories, she also often chooses "ton-sur-ton" with the dress or black. Notably, the clutch that the North Korean first lady holds in her hand is a Diorama design from the luxury brand Dior.

In addition, Mrs. Ri prefers simple makeup and loose hair, with only part of it pinned up. Previously, she had short hair.

Ms. Ri wore an elegant dark blue suit dress to a party celebrating the success of the nuclear bomb test in September 2017. She later wore the same dress during an inspection of food factories with her husband in July 2018.

One of the rare occasions when Ms. Ri combined a skirt and a coat of different colors.

Mrs. Ri and her husband inspected a cosmetics factory in the capital Pyongyang, late October 2017. This was also one of the few times the North Korean President's wife chose a patterned dress, instead of the usual plain dress.
