The unofficial visit to China from March 25-28 by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un caused many surprises, but what was even more surprising was the appearance of Ri Sol-ju, Kim Jong-un's wife, who rarely appeared at public events.
In her first time traveling with her husband in China, Ms. Ri Sol-ju made a strong impression with her fashion style. In a sharing with SCMP, Hong Kong designer William Tang Tat-chi commented that Kim Jong-un's wife's fashion style is "smooth".
In photos appearing in the media during the visit to China, Kim Jong-un's wife appeared in at least 3 different outfits.
Ms. Ri Sol-ju wore a light brown dress ( camel color) with a delicate fringe and wore high heels in the same tone at the official welcoming ceremony. During her visit to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she wore a blue dress and a white shirt. She also used a simple hammock and carried a nude handbag.
The third outfit Mr. Kim Jong-un's wife wore for lunch with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife was an ice cream dress with flowers attached to the collar.
Chinese social media users also praised the beauty of the North Korean leader's wife. " Ri Sol-ju is really beautiful and elegant. I can be sure that she will be a better first lady democracy than Kim Jong-un's younger sister," a Weibo user shared.
Another netizen commented that Ri Sol-ju had a "powerful presence" throughout the trip.
Some people even compare Ri Sol-ju's beauty with celebrities, saying that she "is as beautiful as Song Hye-kyo" - a famous Korean actress.
