Ri Sol Ju, the wife of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, quickly became a fashion hit in China when the couple paid a surprise visit to Beijing this week to meet with President Xi Jinping.
Social media users praised Ri for her looks and outfits, which they reportedly viewed as old-fashioned, but flattering and polished, nonetheless.
Beyond her taste in fashion, few details are known about Ri, the woman who in 2012 was identified as Kim’s wife.
She is thought to be 28 now and a mother to three children, according to South Korean intelligence reports. But the Hermit Kingdom’s secretive government has not confirmed that information.
Ri doesn’t appear in public very often. She’s usually seen when Kim celebrates missile test launches, and is always photographed smiling politely, wearing clean-cut, pastel dresses.
She was reportedly born into an elite family — her father was a professor and her mother a doctor — but little else is known about her life, or how she ultimately became the wife of North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un
