Just two months ago she was the youngest female leader in the world, going toe-to-toe with Prime Minsters and Presidents from all over the world.
But after losing the Finnish general election and divorcing her husband, Sanna Marin has ditched the power suits for party buses.
The 37-year-old is truly enjoying a single girl summer, as she proved when she headed to Flow - a music festival in Helsinki - last week.
Appearing much more like a typically 30-something than a former world leader, the 'rock star' politician opted for chunky heels with a mini skirt and bralette in a series of photos she shared to Instagram.
One outfit simply isn't enough for Sanna. On another occasion, she flaunted a festival chic look in a sheer black dress and reflective sunglasses.

A third look saw her opt for a Barbie pink mini dress with thigh-high boots.
The former Prime Minister, who was just 34 when she took office in 2019, really let down her hair down in - what she calls a - 'proper summer vacation for the first time in a while'.
She was joined by a group of friends, including fellow MP Nasima Razmyar.
In another post, she explained how it's her first holiday 'in a while'.
'This summer I've had a proper summer vacation for the first time in a while,' she wrote.
'It has included, among other things, being busy with [her five-year-old daughter] Emma, sports, friends, good food and unforgettable trips.

Marin has broken down several barriers since she became Finland 's prime minister in 2019
'Have a lovely summer everyone. And thank you to those who are working in the summer and taking care of us!'.
Marin has broken down several barriers since she became Finland 's prime minister in 2019.
At the time, the daughter of a female same-sex couple became the youngest world leader and the Scandinavian country's third female prime minister.
While she was often praised for her politics, she became the subject of controversy due to leaked videos of her dancing and partying.
She was accused off posing 'topless' by her critics after appearing on the cover of Finnish fashion magazine Trendi wearing a black blazer without a top underneath.

Marin laughed with friends during the trip
The politician's outfit choice was branded 'inappropriate' by some social media users after a snap of her wearing the jacket with a deep neckline, and without a blouse underneath, was shared on the magazine's Instagram account.
One suggested the outfit 'eroded' her credibility, while another commented: 'Yeah a real role model. It would have been better in the darkest of clouds. Ridiculous that the breasts of a woman appear in two without a blouse. Someone with taste and sense of style.'
But Marin's outraged fans were quick to show their support and rally behind her, launching the hashtag #imwithsanna and sharing photographs of themselves posed in similar ensembles to the prime minister's.
Marin also enjoyed meals out with friends in her 'first proper summer'
Bild described her as 'relaxed, modern and self-confident' but it added that she 'can also party'.
She also gained masses of support - and criticism - for her dancing antics.
After a video of her dancing leaked, she said: 'I am also human. I do my job. I learn from this.
'This week has not been easy. It has been difficult. But I want to believe that people look at the work we do, not what we do in our free time.'
But when seized upon by her political rivals, the video once again called into question the leader's 'partying' lifestyle, the year after she apologised for going clubbing during the pandemic, despite coming into contact with a potential Covid case.
Although some view Marin as a strong leader who skillfully navigated the Covid-19 pandemic, others say her 'partying scandals' and 'youthful behaviour' make her unfit for office.
'Sanna Marin is a polarising character. She has fans like a rock star but on the other hand she has a lot of people who can't stand her,' journalist Junkkari said.
In 2015 Ms Marin told the Menaiset website that as a child she felt 'invisible' because she was unable to talk openly about her unconventional family.
She previously insisted that 'everyone needs a fun and relaxed evening out' and that she should be allowed to let her hair down after spending most of her time juggling the responsibilities of governing and being a mother.
In April, Marin conceded defeat last night against the centre-Right National Coalition Party and stepped down as Prime Minister.
