    A very happy birthday to Empress Masako, with best wishes for her health. Looking at her outfits as an empress, I don't think she has (yet) a style of her own, as Empress Michiko had (the special cape-like cut of her jackets, with buttons on the side, or her tiny hats). This is something that probably takes years to develop.

      Indeed, i do miss seeing Empress Michiko and her rather lovely style.
      It always puzzles me when people say the the Imperial court won't allow any of the ladies to dress differently, how come Empress Michiko always had her own style??

  4. Quelle douceur dans ces photos ; Masako est une bien belle dame qui a su trouver l'homme de sa vie qui est toujours vêtu avec beaucoup de goût. En ce jour particulier, je lui souhaite un bon et anniversaire.
    PS Je serais curieuse de connaître la signification de la sculpture sur la première photo ; quelqu'un pourrait savoir ?!

  5. Empress Masako looks lovely in this monochrome outfit. I love the cut of the jacket. Her double-stranded pearl necklace and the earrings are exquisite. I hope she has a very happy birthday followed by many many more. The emperor is very handsome too.

    An elegant outfit for an elegant lady. The tailoring of the jacket is superb. There is always something so gentle and serene in her manner. (V.M.)

    The suit is elegant, of beautiful fabric, and in keeping with the way royal Japanese ladies dress. She had a difficult time for many years after her marriage. Fortunately, her husband was supportive. It is good to see her looking well now.
