Olena Zelenska, 44, is the sixth First Lady of Ukraine — an honorary title she assumed on May 20, 2019, when her husband Volodymyr Zelenskyy was inaugurated as president.
Known to keep a low profile, Zelenska was further propelled into the international spotlight shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. For the past six months, much of her role has been centered on seeking humanitarian aid for the Ukrainian people and maintaining diplomacy with Western countries.
She was also the subject of a controversial cover photo and profile in the July 2022 issue of Vogue, launching her further into the public eye.
