A TV presenter, model, and blogger Svetlana Bondarchuk recently shared an unusual photo series on Instagram, a platform that is banned in Russia. The update has sparked discussion across fans and media alike as viewers react to the bold styling choices and the personal moments showcased in the post.
The 55-year-old public figure appeared before the camera wearing white tights with black spots, paired with a short pink fur coat. Completing the bold look were black pointe shoes and a leather handbag. Her hair was left loose and makeup was kept light, giving her a fresh, natural appearance. She held her beloved pet in one of the frames, adding a warm, relatable touch to the shoot.
In August 2020, Bondarchuk married producer Sergei Kharchenko. The bride wore a wedding dress crafted as a one-of-a-kind piece, reportedly valued at 700,000 rubles. During the summer of 2023, the couple announced the addition of a new family member. Bondarchuk shared an image with the child on her personal blog, revealing that the baby is six months old. She explained that the child’s birth involved a surrogate, and she addressed the many comments surrounding the topic with a steadfast stance, choosing not to respond to unfavorable remarks from strangers.
Bondarchuk also has two children from her first marriage to director Fyodor Bondarchuk: a son named Sergei and a daughter named Varvara.
Previously, Bondarchuk spoke about accepting appearances and publicly shared her views on resilience, self-expression, and the evolving standards of beauty that accompany public life in the spotlight.
