On August 7, the prominent Ukrainian singer Sofia Rotaru celebrates her 78th birthday. On this day, the artist made a pleasant gift to her fans — she published new photos on Instagram, the first in the last three years.
The photo shoot was taken in Kyiv, where Rotaru currently lives. This publication became an event, because the singer has recently led a very private life and has hardly appeared in public. She accompanied her photo shoot with a laconic but emotional caption: “Water flows and the summers pass” — a line from her famous song “Water flows.”
In the first photo, Sofia Rotaru poses against the backdrop of St. Andrew's Church on Andriyivskyi Uzviz. She is wearing a cream dress with cascading ruffles and black chunky boots, complete with sunglasses. The entire composition of the photo is a successful combination of modern style and classic Kyiv architecture.
In the second photo, the camera captures the artist up close. She smiles, holding the hem of her dress and glasses — an image of calm, femininity, and inner harmony.
The third photo shows a different outfit: a long white lace skirt, a black flared shirt, and the same black boots. This time, the photo was taken on a glass bridge overlooking the Dnipro River and the panorama of the capital.
The photos have caused a wave of warm responses online. Fans admire not only Sofia Rotaru's appearance, but also the fact that she continues to be a symbol of the Ukrainian stage even in difficult times.
