Compare the elegance of European and Russian women

Which famous woman in Russia can be called truly elegant? What about a European? What exactly is this concept and who can be included in this category? Let's try to figure it out with some examples. The options are worthy, although some may not agree with them.

Elegance as it is

Wikipedia interprets this concept as belonging to a certain category of ethics and aesthetics, formed against the backdrop of “civilized” modern beauty and taking into account the classics. The woman’s appearance and clothing meets fashion trends, but in a rather conservative way.

However, not only this is considered the canons of elegance. Much the so-called inner beauty is more important, namely intelligent behavior, good upbringing, restraint in desires and words.

Very often, all this turns out to be saturated with falsehood, unfortunately. And it's called completely differently.

Elegance is a state of mind, harmony in everything, good taste, absence of pretentious details, gentle confidence in one’s own feminine charms, seductiveness bordering on chastity., if you want to. This is the inner glow that comes from a woman. You don't have to be in an expensive starched dress and diamonds. But certainly in a clean, neat, tidy outfit. And any clothes should be appropriate!

Famous women who can be called elegant

They are always in sight, dress to the nines, and often lead a public lifestyle. But none of them can be called vulgar, mannered, or false. They are smart, dress tastefully, and behave well-mannered, confident, but reserved in public. Certainly, no one can be called absolutely flawless. But among the stars of show business, desperately striving to reach the top of the elite or at least popularity by any means, sometimes not disdaining dirt, these women stand out greatly.

Tina Kandelaki

Beauty, athlete, mother of two children, winner of several awards received in the television field. Despite the troubles in her family life, which, by the way, are connected more with her career than with betrayals, as happens with famous people, she holds her head high, is always sweet, courteous, and friendly.

She cannot be accused of bad taste; her outfits are well thought out and absolutely non-vulgar. Voice and manner of speaking are more attractive than beautiful appearance. Tina undoubtedly deserves the title of the most elegant woman in Russia.

Renata Litvinova

It’s difficult to say what attracts people about this incredibly charismatic woman. She doesn’t dress like the “great” couturiers; she has an unusual way of speaking, moving, and communicating.But one thing can be said for sure - everything Renata wears will suit her. An actress and a public person, she has magnificently “carried the burden of popularity” for so many years; she has a lot of scandals behind her, ranging from gay people.

Her clothing style is called vintage-bohemian, Renata has a delicate taste, she seems to have stepped out of the paintings of an ancient artist. Probably more than one producer felt this, which is why Litvinova looks wonderful in a gold Cadillac, for example, or in a black lace dress...

She has a sophisticated, incredible style that no one has yet been able to copy. Renata believes that a real woman should be strong, and appearance is a consequence of internal work on oneself.

Irina Khakamada

You can't call her beautiful, seductive, or extravagant. But the fact that she has her own “core”, opinion, point of view - no doubt. In everyday life and on vacation, she dresses absolutely freely. Irina prefers eclecticism and happily wears what she likes. Cowboy hat and boots? Why not if it's the desert at Burning Man?

At work, wear an unbuttoned shirt and a T-shirt with trousers or jeans, but “out in the world” you can wear a nice dress.

Khakamada is an example of inner grace, working in absolute harmony with appearance and choice of clothing.

What about foreign celebrities? Will European “established” young ladies be able to give an elegant rebuff to the Russian ones?

Kate Middleton

The Duchess of Cambridge is the face of the monarchy, the future queen.Her outfits must be neat, but in terms of fashion trends, they must be quite conservative. Catherine's images must be “timeless”, so it is rare to see her in everyday simple clothes, for example, an oversized jacket, jeans with rips, biker boots.

Her status does not allow the future queen to wear short clothes; French midi length is a favorite fetish of Kate's stylists. Her athletic figure allows her to wear fitted dresses with flared skirts, sheaths, cashmere suits. Trousers, jeans - rarely, at informal events. She introduced the fashion for conservative hats and huge hoops as decoration.

Interesting! Did you know that to prevent a flared skirt from “lifting up”, tiny weights are sewn to the hem?

It is impossible not to call the Duchess elegant. And for this, most of the praise should be given, of course, to her stylists. “Stylish diplomacy,” revered all over the world, does its job well.

However, it is not only clothes that influence the princess’s image. “Second Lady Diana” is adored by the British for her sincerity, natural smile, willingness to help and, of course, active participation in charity.

Nobility in everything - from appearance to politics - is the long-standing motto of the Duchess of Cambridge.

Catherine Deneuve

French beauty of the late 70s-90s, a luxurious vampire from the film “Hunger” - today she is in old age, but this absolutely does not change her attitude to life, career, appearance and style of clothing. Even at 70 years old the actress looks great, dresses elegantly and modestly.

A cold beauty both in life and on screen always wore neat, laconic looks. Her makeup is restrained, there are no unnecessary accessories or details, the colors are chosen harmoniously. Even in the scenes of seduction she appeared noble and touching. What are the hats worth?

Today Katrin cannot imagine life without cinema. And each of her ensembles is chosen with taste. The actress is always sweet, friendly, speaks with restraint and laughs sincerely.

So which one is more sophisticated?

Compare the phenomenon of elegance of women in Europe and Russia not very ethical. And while the definition itself is treated pretty much the same, there are some differences worth thinking about.

For example, French women consider ostentatious seductiveness an indispensable companion to elegance, while English women, on the contrary, are not particularly flirtatious. For Russian women Along with external superiority, the presence of one’s own “I” is important, and composure is a mandatory attribute.

Although, of course, the women described above are not the standard of beauty, but each person’s inner “candle” glows so that the fire is visible in the eyes. Maybe this is the main thing in the definition of femininity and this very elegance?
