Sure, Angry Birds is everywhere — but this might be the first time it's hit high fashion.

Teija Vesterbacka, the wife of an executive at Rovio — the company responsible for Angry Birds — made quite the entrance at the Finnish Presidential Palace Monday night. The couture interpretation of the adorably addictive game featured a subtle and tasteful red bird's eye, along with a long, elegant sash down the front. (I guess it's a better choice than an ecto-green, pig-inspired frock?)

According to TechCrunch, Teija's husband, Peter Vesterbacka ,"is something of a celebrity in Finland, and Angry Birds is something they’re mighty proud of." We can't imagine a more fashionable way of supporting one's spouse.
