  2. Un véritable soleil que j'ai plaisir à voir – Toute vêtue de doré jusque dans les chaussures, elle éclaire ma journée pluvieuse dans cette jolie robe aux lignes simples sur laquelle nous pouvons voir une sorte de boléro aux revers satinés ; comme d’habitude, l'empereur est très classe en sachant coordonner la couleur de sa cravate avec la tenue de son épouse à qui, nous souhaitons un bon et excellent anniversaire !

  4. Empress Masako's golden dress and jacket are exquisite and, as always, perfectly tailored for her. I love the slightly darker cuffs and collar of her jacket and the stripe on the side seam of her dress. Marvelous. What I can see of her icy blue outfit, in the second group of photos, is also very pretty. Her pearl jewelry is very nice.

    Lovely warm colours in the clothes and the flowers! I like how he coordinates his tie to Masako's wonderful golden dress. The photo of them smiling to each other is the best of them all.

  10. How lovely the Empress looks--the gold ensemble is so elegant and is really perfect on her. The color, cut, style--all so flattering! It is so wonderful to see the Empress doing so well and looking so happy and healthy. She is radiant in these photos.

  11. This is a truly lovely ensemble, subtle but elegant. Love the colour tone of her shoes. The Empress looks fabulous. The perfect finishing touch are the double strand pearls, lovely.

  12. Though I like the golden coloured ensemble EM's wearing I feel it would improve when the skirt being a couple of inches shorter (and still well below the knees according to Japanese fashion standards).
