At the inauguration of the president, there was no frills, but a certain elegance. Style expert Mirva Saukkola commented on the outfits of the presidents’ spouses. They weren’t just two black dresses.
The outfits of Dr. Jenni Haukio and Suzanne Innes-Stubb, wife of the President of the Republic, Alexander Stubb, highlighted their best sides. This is what style expert and fashion trainer Mirva Saukkola thinks for Iltalehti.
– Both represented very elegantly. If we have previously had an elegant first ladythe same tradition continues, says Saukkola.
Saukkola describes that for Innes-Stubb, the black elegant outfit emphasized her beautiful proportions and height. Dr. Haukio’s outfit, on the other hand, flattered her grace.
– The occasion does not give the opportunity for a bigger demolition, Saukkola says.

However, the outfits were not made from exactly the same pattern.
– Dr. Haukio’s outfit was Nordic-simplified in its lines. On the other hand, the sleeves of Innes-Stubb’s dress were loose and decorative. British dressing culture is a bit more decorative and his cultural background was visible here, Saukkola says.
Dr. Haukio represented the Finnish fashion brand Ril’s in an outfit. Haukio has represented the brand in clothes before.
The expert points out that a black outfit is always a stylish choice for such a festive occasion.

Attention to gentlemen’s suits
For gentlemen, the etiquette was even more precise, and the occasion was not one where one’s own personality is emphasized. However, the style expert drew attention to the outfits of presidents Sauli Niinistö and Alexander Stubb.
– Both had very fitting suits. When looking at Republic President Stubb’s suit, it fit well on the shoulders, for example. Stubb is an athletic and thoughtful man, so the fit of the suit is even more essential, says Saukkola.

The style changes
Saukkola believes that the new pages opening in both Dr. Haukio’s and Mrs. Innes-Stubb’s lives will also inevitably be seen in their styles.
– Innes-Stubb will take on more responsibility for the role of a spouse. When they had lunch in Mäntynime, he was seen wearing an elegant pantsuit. It conveys echoes from the world of law and business, Saukkola says.
– You can also imagine that when Dr. Haukio is no longer in the role of the president’s spouse, he can express himself in a new way by dressing. 46-year-old Haukio still has time to make a long career, Saukkola says.
A top hat is hardly part of Niinistö’s style when he spends his retirement days and more time with his son Aaro.
