  1. Vêtus à l'unisson dans une couleur grise mais Masako porte un sous-pull à petit col roulé dans un ton gris très très clair !

    I love the Empress's up-do and the soft drape of her sweater and jacket, she looks gentle and feminine, and empathetic.

    I like this more clean, dressed down look. I always appreciate it when royals look more relatable and this attire feels this way to me. I am especially impressed with Naruhito's turtleneck and jacket. While I'm not sure about the matchy-matchy look, both look terrific.
