The Cost of Ruto’s Suit at Charlene’s Wedding Has Left Many Surprised

President William Ruto’s outfit at his daughter Charlene’s wedding in Tanzania has attracted fresh attention after a Nairobi fashion store revealed how much it would cost to source a similar blazer.

Zannetti Gentlemen, a fashion store located along Moi Avenue, claims it can import the exact blazer worn by the Head of State for $7,000, equivalent to approximately KSh910,000.

The quoted price has sparked reactions among Kenyans, with many expressing surprise that a single jacket could cost nearly KSh1 million.

Some social media users joked that the amount could cover several months of rent, school fees or even provide capital for a small business.

Others argued that the figure was not unusual for a high-end designer outfit, particularly one worn during a major family celebration.

The store’s offer emerged after photographs and videos from Charlene’s wedding circulated widely online, attracting attention to the fashion choices of the invited guests.

Ruto’s appearance became one of the talking points, especially after videos showed him helping his sons adjust their ties and using a portable fan to cool his wife, Rachel, and daughter.

His blazer subsequently attracted interest from fashion enthusiasts, with Zannetti Gentlemen presenting an opportunity for customers to acquire the same piece through importation.

However, the store’s claim does not amount to official confirmation from the Presidency about the blazer’s designer or purchase price.

It is also unclear whether any customer has placed an order for the expensive outfit.

For now, the reported KSh910,000 price has become another talking point from Charlene’s wedding, with Kenyans debating the cost of luxury fashion against everyday expenses.
