Governor of St. Petersburg Valentina Matvienko is one of the brightest women politicians in Russia. Significance is given to her not only by her position, but also by her external data. A big official in every sense. Nature painted her appearance with energetic strokes, the type of appearance is closest to the classic-dramatic, which reflects, on the one hand, the balance of forms, laconicism, on the other - strength and even passion.

Also, the entire wardrobe of this woman is built on large elements in a suit, accessories, hairstyle. For example, large decor - appliques, brooches, embroidery, large beads, rings, earrings. Thick, saturated, but calm and cold colors are very suitable for people of this type. However, one should not forget that the image of a politician and a business woman imposes certain restrictions on the individual style.

Dossier "Cleo"

Valentina Ivanovna does not use the services of stylists and chooses clothes for herself. Who does her hair every day is unknown.

I remember that at the beginning of the political path of Ms. Valentina Matvienko's outfits were unusual shades: olive yellow, bright blue "electric" in combination with lemon yellow. Such shades do not fit into the framework of the European business style. Her costumes of those years were loaded with wide contrasting piping, massive pocket flaps, which visually made her figure more monumental. Static pompous forms make a person inflexible in the eyes of others, incapable of seeking an individual approach, and tough in making decisions.

The situation has improved significantly in recent years. Perfectly tailored business suits of a suitable cut, restrained shades, a neat hair-to-hair hairstyle, decent make-up demonstrate to us Valentina Ivanovna's adherence to the classic rules of business life. However, from time to time, as if by chance, echoes of the past burst in: a hot pink suit or a light lilac suit with a fluffy trim.

Dossier "Cleo"

Some stylists define Matvienko's style as a "holiday woman". The Governor of St. Petersburg loves catchy jewelry and bright accents. She even chooses shoes with embroidery or rhinestones. Sometimes she does too bright makeup.

The Governor of St. Petersburg has said more than once that she prefers to remain feminine and elegant even in such a responsible post - these are wonderful principles. Only the ways to implement this task sometimes fail. For example, textures such as brocade, fur, jacquard and jeans are almost unacceptable for a business image. As a last resort, they can be used in minimal quantities. At several social and political events related to the anniversary of St. Petersburg, the governor was seen wearing a denim suit. We can say creative, of course, perfectly tailored, but very far from business.

There were times when the laconic cut of the suit was spoiled by a bright turquoise color. The result does not agree with Valentina Ivanovna's appearance either in style or in color.

If delicate shades of lilac, lime blossom, apricot and the like are dear to your heart, you should not put on them from head to toe. But you can dilute the suit with them: for example, put on a blouse, scarf, beads of your favorite shade.

Help "Cleo"

Matvienko wears costumes from Yudashkin, Fendi, Pierre Cardin, Anna Malinari.

Strict classics and feminine elements can be combined beautifully and delicately. For example, if a rich cherry color is chosen, then the texture of the fabric should definitely not be shiny.

If we are dressing a suit that is very ascetic in color and cut, then it is not necessary to match it with the same low-expressive "man's" blouse.

It seems that for Matvienko there are no half-tones: femininity - so to the fullest. And if the severity is also one hundred percent.
