From female model to the world's first Gen Z First Lady

Daniel Noboa is the youngest President of Ecuador to date. Similar to her husband, Angela Lavinia Valbonesi has also become the First Lady of Ecuador for the first time in the Z generation (those born between 1997-2012). Who is Angela Lavinia Valbonesi? According to Tatler magazine, Angela Lavinia Valbonesi (born in 1998) is the daughter of a family with an Italian father. Her childhood is closely linked to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, which inspired her to build a healthy lifestyle. While still in school, Angela was self-conscious about her body shape. That's why she was determined to become a nutrition expert. In addition, she is also active as a model and content creator on social media. Currently, she has attracted over 800,000 followers. Speaking to El Universo, Angela revealed that she has qualifications in physical fitness and personal training. She also owns a health food store. Angela Lavinia Valbonesi always focuses on building the image of a young, healthy, diligent woman who enjoys exercising and family time. Upon becoming the First Lady, the six-pack abs selfies have been replaced by moments of charity work, participating in activities with her husband. She aims to focus on vulnerable children. From nutrition expert to First Lady President Daniel Noboa comes from a wealthy family, inheriting a large estate. His father - Álvaro Noboa - is the richest man in Ecuador thanks to his banana business, the country's main trade. In 2019, President Daniel Noboa had the fortune to meet Angela Lavinia Valbonesi when he invited her to work as his personal nutrition expert. Their relationship progressed and led to marriage in August 2021. Angela is the second wife of the young president. Currently, the couple has two children. Their first son is named Álvaro, after his grandfather. Since becoming a mother, Angela's life has revolved around her child. She had to balance taking on many roles. As a result, she has become an ideal role model for many young women. Admiring Princess Diana Alex Magary - Angela Lavinia Valbonesi's fashion designer - revealed that the First Lady has always admired Princess Diana. In her mind, the late Princess of Wales was an inspiration in fashion and always close to the people. Therefore, Angela's style of dressing has similarities with the British royal family. "Besides the safe wardrobe, she is not afraid to incorporate patterns or unconventional combinations. Apart from Princess Diana, we also draw inspiration from Kate Middleton and Carla Bruni's inspiring images," the designer shared. Angela often does not flaunt luxury brands. She prefers designs from Bottega Veneta, Tods, or Tory Burch. The white and beige tones are the most chosen color palette. During the campaign with her husband for the presidency last year, Angela caught attention with many white outfits. Sometimes, she added a touch of red with dresses or pants. Choosing a minimalist fashion direction has helped her garner praise at that time.
