At just 38, Sanna Marin has already led her country into NATO, served as the youngest Prime Minister in the world, resigned, welcomed a child and got married and divorced.

But the former world leader acts more like a typical 30-something than one of the most powerful women in the world, and recently launched a new aesthetic on Instagram trading powersuit for floaty dresses and influencer-coded captions  reading 'nights like this'.

Sanna, who now works for the  Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, has been sharing snaps from her summer in Finland, including days out at festivals in Helsinki and trips to the city of Tampere.

 It comes a year after Sanna had a 'single girl summer' enjoying festivals and partying in bralettes and mini skirts after leaving office and divorcing her husband.

Truly embracing her new found freedom in October, she headed to Paris Fashion Week , where she took a prime seat at Victoria Beckham 's show - and shared a series of glamorous selfies from behind-the-scenes of the A-list event attended by Kim Kardashian , Kris Jenner , Pamela Anderson , David Beckham , and Eva Longoria .

With a bright red lipstick and trendy £1024 Victoria Beckham draped mini sleeve dress, Sanna - who was previously the world's youngest leader - appeared more like an influencer than a politician.

Series of photos from her Instagram page show her posing with fashion royalty Anna Wintour - before popping on a pair of shades and snapping a selfie.

She also shared pictures and videos behind the scenes at the show, including various details of sleek black outfits - including one suit that she paired with trainers because she 'loves walking'.

She then seemed to Sanna Marin is now reinvent herself yet again and ditching the politics and the partying for the starry heights of Hollywood. 

The former world leader,  who was just 34 when she took office in 2019, took a very glamorous trip to Los Angeles, where she met list A-lister Sharon Stone among others in the Beverley Hills set.

While in Los Angeles she joined the Basic Instinct actress, 65, for a lunch at the Finnish Consulate. Sharon invited for her was activism work. 

It appears the pair became fast friends after discussing democracy, human rights, and equal opportunities over lunch.

Sanna shared a snap of the unlikely pair, Sharon gushed: 'You are so cool so smart and so beautiful. That must be too tough for the men to cope with,'.

Sanna, who was known as the 'party Prime Minster' for going out and enjoying herself while in office has been enjoying a single girl summer after losing the Finnish general election and divorcing her husband. 

Last summer, she headed to Flow - a music festival in Helsinki.

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.

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'. 

After leading her country through COVID-19 lockdowns and the ensuing economic turmoil, Marin became a vocal supporter of Ukraine after Russia's invasion last year and successfully pushed to end Finland's military non-alignment in favour of NATO membership.

While many called her a millennial inspiration who encouraged younger people to be less apathetic towards politics, she was still a controversial figure in Finland. 

Finnish voters concerned with issues like immigration and a growing public deficit in April handed Marin a narrow defeat to the right wing National Coalition and the far-right Finns party, triggering the government's fall.

She weathered several publicity storms while in office, including over her nightclubbing during the pandemic, hosting private parties at her official residence and voluntarily taking a drug test - which returned negative - after a party video was leaked to the media.

Marin was also heavily criticised after she was spotted at a nightclub in the small hours of the morning, shortly after she had made contact with her health minister who has just tested positive for COVID-19.
