Silina & Pope: Kennedy-Inspired Style at the Vatican

Silina’s hairstyle is an elegantly styled hairstyle, well suited under a hat. Make-up is selected natural.

The small, decorative pin is unobtrusive and does not violate protocol boundaries.

Silina shoes are low-heeled, closed-toe shoes that are presentable but not over-the-top, just what Vatican dress code allows.

Therefore, it can be said that the clothing of the Prime Minister of Latvia meets all points of etiquette. Such an image is even to the highest degree correct, elegant and respectful.

“It was a great honor for me, both as a pilgrim and as a head of government, to meet with His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, representing Latvia here in the Vatican. I presented His Holiness with a special gift from Latvia: the ethnographic wreath of the Nīcas-Bārt folk costume and the painting “Heritage” by Džemma Skulma. II Dziesma” photo reproduction. This gift symbolically intertwines Christianity with the traditions of the Latvian people and reminds us of the path of Latvian identity through history. During the Soviet occupation, Latvia lost a lot. We were not allowed to gather freely, express our faith and our culture. When I presented this crown, I felt that I could safely say: Latvia has regained its strength, its identity, faith and the Latvian language. The Pope was truly happy to see how many believers from Latvia went on the National Pilgrimage,” writes Evika Siliņa on her social accounts.

Prime Minister Evika Siliņa, along with leaders and high-level officials of other European and world countries and governments, met with His Holiness in the Vatican once – participating in the inauguration ceremony of Pope Leo XIV’s pontificate. How did the prime minister do with her choice of clothes then?
