Maria Vasilevich, 26 years old, and Lukashenko

Vasilevich was, of course, among those attending the ball as she became one of the most recognized faces in the country after winning this year’s Miss Belarus pageant and being named continental queen for Europe at Miss World 2018 earlier this month. Lukashenko ruled the beauty queen a perfect match for him and led the floor with his 20-year-old partner. The pair danced the waltz and a Pas d’Espagne, which was very popular in Russian ballrooms in the early 1900s, and were clearly enjoying themselves.
