The most beautiful wives of world dictators. This is what the most beautiful wives of world dictators look like
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and his wife Ri Sol-ju.
As a rule, modern dictators do not evoke much sympathy, which cannot be said about their wives. The first ladies of the leaders of authoritarian states are all, as if chosen, beauties. If anyone can soften the harsh temper of dictators, it is only them.
1. Asma al-Assad (Syria)
Asma al-Assad is the first lady of Syria.
Just a few years ago, people admired the wife of Syrian President Asma al-Assad. Today, in a country torn by war, the first lady has a very difficult time.
Asma was born in London into a Muslim family. She moved to live in Syria only at the age of 25. Asma al-Assad dresses in a European style; she does not wear a hijab or burqa. Even before the start of the war, the first lady was set as an example to follow. When she was asked to leave the country to protect herself and her children, the woman refused. Now Asma al-Assad is engaged in charity work.

2. Ana Paula dos Santos (Angola)
Ana Paula dos Santos is the first lady of Angola.
The story of their meeting is like a plot from a pulp novel. He is the president, she is the flight attendant. But nothing is impossible. Ana Paula dos Santos is now married to José Eduardo, the President of Angola. The former fashion model and flight attendant is 20 years younger than her husband, but this does not bother her at all.
Ana Paula dos Santos is a former flight attendant and fashion model, and today the wife of the President of Angola.
The first lady once said that her children would not study in domestic schools, because the level of education in Angola was extremely poor. This did not give her any positive points from the population, but Anya Paula lives well without it.

3. Lee Seol-ju (North Korea)
Ri Sol-ju is the first lady of North Korea.
In one of the most isolated countries in the world, North Korea, leader Kim Jong-un somehow “suddenly” had first lady Ri Sol-ju. Before this, the country's leaders had never brought their wives into the world. Moreover, Lee stands out among her other compatriots in her manner of dressing. If most women in North Korea must wear formal suits and behave as modestly as possible, then the first lady of this country allows herself to wear a skirt above the knee, heels, and even laugh loudly in front of everyone, holding her husband’s arm.
With the appearance of his young wife in public, Kim Jong-un lifted the ban on North Korean women wearing trousers, platform shoes and jewelry, which shocked the country’s ideological moralists.

4. Rania Al-Abdullah (Jordan)
Rania Al-Abdullah is the Queen of Jordan.
Rania Al-Abdullah is called the most beautiful queen in the world. Looking at the First Lady of Jordan, one cannot but agree with this. If you look through the biography of this woman, you get a literally perfect image. Rania is a mother of three children, she helps women in a deeply Muslim country get an education, does charity work and calls herself a “true Arab woman.”

5. Chantal Biya (Cameroon)
Chantal Biya is the First Lady of Cameroon.
Chantal Biya is undoubtedly the most vibrant and charismatic first lady on the planet. She is the wife of Cameroonian President Paul Biya. They have a huge age difference (he is 82 and she is 44), but his wife’s enthusiasm probably extends to the head of state, who still looks very cheerful.

girlfriends.
Chantal is impossible to forget because of her hairstyle. The huge mop on her head is not a wig, but her natural hair. The exotic style of dressing does not prevent the first lady from remaining the most pleasant person to talk to. By the way, Chantal and the wife of the French ex-president Carla Bruni are friends. They were seen more than once shopping together in Parisian boutiques.
Imelda Marcos has been called "the other half of the marital dictatorship."
As the wife of President Fernando Marcos, Imelda never skimped, choosing her outfits from the best fashion houses in Europe. She has a huge collection of shoes, which she donated to the museum today. Imelda came up with a name for her shocking style - imeldific. The 87-year-old dictator's widow still plays an important role in the country's politics.
Imelda Marcos is the "steel butterfly" of the Philippines.
Another first lady, the wife of the former Sheikh of Qatar, Sheikha Moza is an excellent example of a style icon and is considered one of the most influential people in the political arena.
Authoritarian leaders can be criticized for anything, but not for their choice of wives. These women (with rare exceptions) are faithful, reliable companions, advisers and protectors of their husbands, sometimes even able to soften the attitude towards them in the world. Not to mention that they are all simply beautiful.
Lady Syria Asma al-Assad
Today, the wife of President Assad, hated by the West, is under fire, but in former calm times she was praised for her secularism, education and impeccable taste. Indeed, Asma al-Assad is a very European Muslim, because she was born in London, studied there, met her future husband there and moved to her historical homeland only in 2000, when she was already 25 years old. Moreover, she retained her British citizenship.
Why it’s notable: in 2011, a huge scandal broke out in the media because of her. American Vogue published a positive article about Asma (seemingly ordered by Assad’s PR people), this caused a storm of anger, the article was deleted, and its author was fired, despite 30 years of experience in the editorial office. Later, the same journalist broke out in another publication with a sharply negative article about Asma, calling her “the first lady of hell,” but in the end she herself was subjected to ridicule from her colleagues.
Lady Angola Ana Paula dos Santos
Ana Paula dos Santos is a former fashion model and flight attendant on Air Force One, where she made her epoch-making acquaintance with the head of state, Jose Eduardo. The story of their meeting is like a plot from a pulp novel. Ana Paula is 20 years younger than her husband, but this does not bother her at all.
One foreign diplomat once said of the leading couple: “A beautiful couple. They dress elegantly and expensively and look like they live in California.”
Why it’s notable: Ana Paula once outraged citizens by saying that the level of education in Angola is too poor, so her son will study in a foreign school (even though her husband is accused of not caring about this area). She also irritates officials and the population with her ambitions in politics and business (especially the diamond industry).
Lady of the DPRK Ri Sol-ju
In one of the most isolated countries in the world, North Korea, leader Kim Jong-un somehow “suddenly” had a first lady. Before this, the country's leaders had never brought their wives into the world. Moreover, Lee stands out among her other compatriots in her manner of dressing. If most women in North Korea must wear formal suits and behave as modestly as possible, then the first lady of this country allows herself to wear a skirt above the knee, heels, and even laugh loudly in front of everyone, holding her husband’s arm.
With the appearance of his young wife in public, Kim Jong-un lifted the ban on North Korean women wearing trousers, platform shoes and jewelry, which shocked the country’s ideological moralists.
Also, Lee Sol Ju does not wear badges with the image of her husband’s father and grandfather, which is a mandatory accessory in the DPRK. This was explained by the fact that for her there are no other men in the world except her beloved Kim Jong-un.
Lady Jordan Rania Al-Abdullah
Somehow I can’t even believe that this woman represents a deeply religious Muslim country in the Middle East. Can you imagine, at the age of 22 she was aiming for a leadership position at Apple (a Jordanian branch, but still)! Nevertheless, Rania Al-Abdullah calls herself a “true Arab woman” and willingly educates the Western public on the topic of the Arab world and Islam.
If you look at the biography of this woman, you get a literally perfect image. She is a mother of three children, helps women in a deeply Muslim country get an education and is involved in charity work.
What else is remarkable about Rania? Of course, beauty (she is called “the most beautiful queen on the planet”), extraordinary elegance (she was once chosen as the “Queen of Elegance of the World”, discarding the candidates of top models, actresses and other stars), as well as a lot of good deeds. She actively defends the rights of women, children and families, fights against stupid bans, defends fellow Palestinians and is even an animal activist.
Lady Cameroon Chantal Biya
But look here: this bright lady in all respects is Chantal Biya, the wife of Cameroonian President Paul Biya. She is almost 40 years younger than her husband (he is 82, she is 44).
One Cameroonian author wrote a book about her, where, judging by the reaction that followed, he depicted her life as a “rags to riches” journey. He was accused of insulting the heroine and sentenced to 2 years in prison, which outraged world human rights activists, who called him a “prisoner of conscience.”
What makes her remarkable: first of all, of course, for her unique hairstyle and exotic style, which is called “a la Chantal”. She loves Dior and Chanel, and many of her wardrobe items are custom-made. She is also a very social lady: she willingly participates in various meetings, gatherings, and high-level events and organizes many of them herself.
Lady of Swaziland Ntando Dube
The 47-year-old King Mswati III of Swaziland currently has 15 wives, but we will focus on one, the 12th: the young beauty Ntando Dube. If you believe the media, these are all portraits of her.
What’s remarkable: in the 5th year of marriage, she cheated on her husband with his own Minister of Justice. This story is worthy of a Shakespeare play: an unfaithful wife sneaks past the palace guards, disguised as a guardsman, then her lover is found under her bed (and not just on the floor, but under the bottom, in a hole in the paneling!), the culprit is put under house arrest, but she escapes from the guard by spraying him in the face with pepper spray. In the end, she is kicked out of the palace, and the cunning minister (with the wonderful surname Mamba) is fired and imprisoned. A curtain. We don’t know whether the deceived husband suffered greatly, but he certainly has someone to console himself with - the remaining wives are miraculously good! And these are just two of them.
What about the dictators of the past? As you will see, their chosen ones were also distinguished by their extraordinary beauty.
"Steel Butterfly" of the Philippines: Imelda Marcos
Speaking about the beautiful wives of dictators, one cannot fail to mention the wife of the head of the Philippines in the 1960s-1980s, Imelda Marcos. This woman was not only beautiful, but was also known as an excellent diplomat. For her active participation in the political life of the country, she was called the “steel butterfly.”
As the wife of President Fernando Marcos, Imelda never skimped, choosing her outfits from the best fashion houses in Europe. She has a huge collection of shoes, which she donated to the museum today. Imelda came up with a name for her shocking style - imeldific.
Imelda is an extravagant lady. While in power, in addition to clothes and shoes, she collected a rich collection of works of art, including works by Michelangelo, Botticelli and Raphael.
Mussolini's mistress: Clara Petacci
The movie star-like Roman aristocrat was almost 30 years younger than Mussolini and shared his terrible fate.
In 1945, Mussolini and Claretta tried to escape, but were recognized by the partisans and shot, and the Duce’s face was mutilated beyond recognition, and then their bodies were hung by their feet at a gas station in Milan. But the legal wife of the fascist dictator, Rakel, although she remained faithful to him to the end, was not with him at the last minute - the couple said goodbye a week and a half before. She died in 1979, when she was nearing 90.
Authoritarian leaders can be criticized for anything, but not for their choice of wives. These women (with rare exceptions) are faithful, reliable companions, advisers and protectors of their husbands, sometimes even able to soften the attitude towards them in the world.

But the legal wife of the fascist dictator, Rakel, although she remained faithful to him to the end, was not with him at the last minute - the couple said goodbye a week and a half before. She died in 1979, when she was nearing 90.
