tate-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Minister Rini Soemarno displayed a more feminine appearance on Idul Fitri, exchanging her simple black-and-white blouse and trousers for a stylish kebaya.
The minister welcomed guests for an open house party at her private residence in Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Wednesday in a light brown kebaya top and jarit (long cloth), complete with a scarf of the same shade.
Her usual flat black shoes retired for the day as she wore golden slippers.
The outfit was custom-made for Idul Fitri, along with the outfits for other members of her family.
Rini’s hair also received special treatment. It was arranged to a sanggul (traditional bun) on the day, a change from her usual ponytail.
"Ibu Rini puts her make up on by herself, but her hairdo was done by a hairdresser," Teddy Poernama, the SOE Ministry’s public relations official, told The Jakarta Post.
This year's open house is the first one held by Rini after assuming office in October 2014. She spent last year's Idul Fitri visiting her grandchild in Japan.
"Ibu prepared the open house for two weeks ago with the assistance of her children," Teddy said. (tas)
