Guðrún Hafsteinsdóttir chose a satin skirt suit for the opening of Alþingi, a particularly formal occasion. The Independence Party parliamentarian wore a light blue-gray outfit from Marc Cain.
The jacket is tied at the waist, giving it a feminine shape, while the skirt has a straight cut and a side slit. In recent months, Hafsteinsdóttir has increasingly favored satin, usually choosing solid-colored garments in burgundy, dark blue, cream, pink and light blue shades.
The suit is made from 82% acetate and 18% polyester. Acetate, produced from wood pulp or cotton and then processed, is often considered a semi-synthetic fiber. The blend gives the fabric a smooth, soft feel that can resemble silk. The jacket costs 83,980 krónur and the skirt 36,980 krónur. The suit is available in Iceland at Hjá Hrafnhildi.
