Mehriban Aliyeva has not only gained attention as an emerging political figure and philanthropist in Azerbaijan but also for her appearance. It isn’t hard to notice that the First Lady and now newly appointed Vice President of Azerbaijan is fashion conscious. 

As the most popular member of her illustrious family and wife of President Ilham Aliyev, Mehriban has maintained a classy front with figure-hugging dresses that give younger women a run for their money. She is now in her early fifties and evidently has near perfect body measurements, exact numbers of which are not yet known. 

Apart from the First Lady’s indisputable fashion knowledge, she’s also been the talk of the town for her face. In a US embassy cable titled Azerbaijan: Who Owns What? leaked by WikiLeaks in 2010, it was revealed that Mehriban might have had cosmetic surgery to keep up with her growing age. ” On television, in photos, and in person, she appears unable to show a full range of facial expression,” it says. 

After the appointment as the first Vice President of Azerbaijan on February 21, 2017, Mehriban has been receiving more public attention than ever before. With more eyes on her, the Azerbaijani beauty is bound to take good care of how she looks.
