KIEV, Oct. 6 — Ukraine's glamorous former prime minister is slamming a new government dress code as "laughable."

Yulia Tymoshenko, known for lacy dresses and stilettos, said Wednesday that the dress code would prevent the British monarch from entering Cabinet premises.

"The Queen of England and (Libya's leader Moammar) Gadhafi, for instance, for sure would not have been allowed in the Cabinet," Tymoshenko, who is now a top opposition leader, quipped at a news conference Wednesday, The Associated Press reported.

The code adopted this week calls on men working at the Cabinet of Ministers to wear mostly gray and dark blue suits and not wear the same suit to work two days in a row.
