Oktoberfest Bear Found in Cabinet

In an unexpected turn of events, Federal Research Minister Dorothee Bär, a CSU politician, made headlines once again for her unconventional fashion choices. The occasion was a party held at the Federal Chancellery in Berlin, following a cabinet meeting.

The party, which was set up as an Oktoberfest, saw Minister Bär donning a traditional German dirndl, a departure from the usual dress code. However, this wasn't the first time she had made a fashion statement. In 2015, she wore an FC Bayern Munich jersey to a Bundestag session, and at the German Computer Game Award in 2019, she was spotted in a tight skirt and a pink top, though the designer of the outfit remains unknown.

The information about her attire at the recent party was provided by a spokesperson for Minister Bär. It was also revealed that she went directly from the cabinet meeting to the party, adding a touch of spontaneity to the event.

In the past, Minister Bär has been seen in bold designs by Marina Hoermanseder, suggesting a penchant for fashion that deviates from the norm. This latest incident further cements her reputation as a politician who isn't afraid to make a statement, even in her choice of clothing.
