At the castle’s party today, an evening dress will be seen, which has attracted attention even before Independence Day.

At the castle’s party, we can see what caused a stir today Jutta Virtanen designed by a creation named Saint pussy. The suit is worn by Seta’s chairman Anu Kantola.
The outfit sparked a lot of discussion and disapproval on social media earlier in the week. Many have criticized it as inappropriate for Linna’s celebrations.
– If I were Alexander StubbI wouldn’t let in, wrote the former MEP Eija Riitta Korhola-Dunderfelt message service in X.
Also a Helsinki city councilor Seida Sohrabi (kok) was on the same lines.
– I hope the person will be turned away from the door to choose an outfit that is suitable for a dignified and holy celebration, he wrote in X.
There have been enough other comments. The suit has been described as, among other things, tasteless, disrespectful, and raunchy.
However, there are those who disagree. Some of the commenters have wondered why they should be nervous about the suit.
– Freedom of dress is an example of exactly the freedom that separates us from our eastern neighbor, X writes.
– Read what collection the suit is from and what it symbolizes. From the original post and the comments, you can see why the costume really belongs to the Linna’s party. The costume is still wonderfully executed.

Femininity and self-determination
Anu Kantola herself told Iltalehte on Thursday that she received a lot of positive feedback about the outfit.
– I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it. I have also received comments from MPs. I’ve been floating all day in a bubble of joy, Kantola said at the time.
Kantola said that he was very pleased with the invitation to Linna’s party. The party is the first for him.
– It’s nice to be able to honor this precious celebration with your presence. After that I started thinking about what I would like to wear. I want to look great and in the spirit of the party, but also to bring out my own world of values and why I got the invitation, Kantola said about the background of the dress choice.
For Kantola, the costume, inspired by a woman’s genitalia, symbolizes femininity, but also the right to self-determination.
– The vulva is not a gendered thing in itself. In this world situation, efforts have been made to reduce or hide the status of rainbow minorities and women. With this spectacular, festive suit, I want to highlight that.
He believes that the presidential couple will understand the message of the outfit.

Naturally, one of the most anticipated dressers of the evening is also the president’s spouse Suzanne Innes-Stubb.
Style expert and president of Tapaseura Mirva Saukkola previously estimated for Iltalehti what kind of outfit the hostess of the evening will be seen wearing at the party reception.
– Mrs. Innes-Stubb has clearly wanted to bring out domestic design, so I think she will also dress in it now. The most characteristic of her style would be a sculpturally streamlined outfit. I do have my own ideas about who it’s coming from, but we’ll see on Saturday evening, Saukkola stated.

The MP of the Basic Finns is also attracting attention Sara Seppänen suit. Seppänen from Lapland wears a forest Sámi costume made for him.
Seppänen’s outfit has aroused two kinds of emotions on social media. Some have praised the apartment, while others have accused Seppä of cultural appropriation.
