Elena Zelenskaya studied architecture and never sought fame. Discover how she looked on her wedding day and the transformation she's undergone since then.

Today, February 6, marks the birthday of Ukraine's first lady, Olena Zelenska. She turns 47 years old. From her work as a screenwriter at "Kvartal 95" to her current role attending official events and engaging in humanitarian issues, her style has undergone significant transformation.

"Telegraph" will share details about the wedding of Olena and Volodymyr Zelensky and how her style has evolved over the years.

How Olena Zelenska Was in the Past

Olena, like Volodymyr Zelensky, was born and raised in Kryvyi Rih. They attended parallel classes in the same school but did not interact at that time. Later, Olena enrolled in Kryvyi Rih Technical University to study architecture, while Volodymyr chose a law degree at an economic university. At the same time, he began performing in KVN.

It was during their student years that the Zelenskys first met. Volodymyr saw a video cassette of the film "Basic Instinct" with Olena and asked to watch it. At that moment, he asked for her phone number.

Volodymyr was popular both in school and university, known for his great sense of humor and distinctive style: leather pants, suspenders, and hairstyles with a lot of gel. Meanwhile, Olena preferred to avoid the limelight, resulting in a scarcity of photos from that time online.

At the time of her first meeting with Volodymyr, Olena was in another relationship. However, Zelensky won her over with his sense of humor, and they started dating. Their relationship lasted for 8 years before Volodymyr proposed to Olena.

The wedding took place in 2003. For the celebration, Olena chose a modest strapless white dress. It featured a corset adorned with flowers and a voluminous tulle skirt. She also wore a pink flower around her neck and opted for a lavish veil.

Twenty years ago, Olena sported naturally light hair and wore minimal makeup. She also favored very short hairstyles. At that time, her wardrobe consisted of casual clothing: pants, t-shirts, jackets, and other comfortable pieces.

Later, like Volodymyr, Zelenska also began working at "Kvartal 95". However, she rarely appeared on stage as she was a screenwriter. During her time at the comedy studio, Zelenska did not often attend public events, preferring a quiet and peaceful life.

Though occasionally, Olena could be seen with Volodymyr at film premieres and other events. It was then that she began wearing red lipstick, donning beautiful dresses and blouses, and generally looking stunning.
