Boki 13 arrives in Belgrade with new haircut and $19,500 designer bag at Karleuša gala

Bojan Jovanovski, known professionally as Boki 13, was one of the most noticed guests at the gala celebration hosted by Jelena Karleuša and Duško Tošić for their daughters’ birthdays, arriving in Belgrade straight from Skopje with a striking new haircut and an expensive designer handbag.

The accessory drew immediate attention: the handbag was described as an exclusive piece from a major fashion house, estimated at $19,500.

Gifts instead of envelopes

Speaking briefly to reporters at the event, Boki 13 said he prefers giving special fashion items to the birthday girls rather than money in envelopes. "I'm fine, in a good mood, I came directly from Skopje. I don't give envelopes as gifts. Athena and Nika have everything, so I tried to pick a special fashion item for each. It was hard to choose for children who have everything, but Jelena helped me — these are well-known brands and good bags," he said.

According to witnesses at the gala, Boki maintained his characteristic style while showing a haircut that had not been seen publicly before, which together with the handbag made him one of the evening’s most photographed attendees.

He also paused for an emotional recollection of the girls' first birthdays 16 years ago and paid tribute to their late grandmother. "Back then I was with Divna and Marina, and tonight unfortunately I am alone. Divna will be much missed tonight. She was a wonderful woman, and Jelena was extremely close to her. Athena and Nika are very well-mannered and modest children, and Jelena is as radiant a parent as Divna was," he added.

When asked about the upcoming trials he faces, Boki 13 kept his comments short and said the day was dedicated to the birthday celebration. He also shared images from the evening on his Instagram account.
