Princess Aiko of Japan, the only child of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, turned 21. Princess Aiko was born on December 1, 2001. On the occasion of the birthday, the Imperial Household Agency shared new photos. The photos were taken in the stables division of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Japanese Princess Aiko is currently a junior at the Faculty of Letters at Gakushuin University in Tokyo.
Poor little Princess Aiko, I feel sad for her. She is a pretty young woman and has a beautiful smile, but that dress is simply ugly. I hope she had a good day after all, she seems too enjoy the company of her horses.

Yes my opinion also
حذفAgree. That dress... no!
حذفThe dress is appropriate. It's a conservative society.
حذفet les chaussures,... même ma mère de 90 ans ne les porterait pas !
حذفI admit the point on conservative style, however I don't think it needs to go that far ... Other Japanese princesses found a way to respect it in a softer way. I hope Aiko has some friends and is able to enjoy some social life with young people (and not only horses). The problem is that this style takes her so far away from today's young people.
حذفQuel plaisir de voir la charmante princesse Aiko au cours d'un petit moment de répit pendant ces études à la faculté des lettres de l'université Gakushuin de Tokyo ; elle est tout à fait dans son monde parmi ces chevaux qui doivent guetter avec impatience sa venue lorsqu'elle leur apporte des douceurs ; cela se confirme particulièrement sur la dernière photo d'un cheval blanc qui semble lui rappeler qu'il est là !!!
ردحذفwhich century is this
ردحذفms
Japan 🇯🇵
حذفSame century everywhere, I can assure you. But there exist different cultural norms and royal traditions. Persons who are really interested in it, respect differences, instead of bashing them. (-Ann)
حذفMS, my guess is the 1950's
حذفAgree !!
حذفThe 1950s aren't a century.
حذفSuch cute pics - this young Princess is a natural beauty
ردحذفI don't think, she is a beauty. Anyway not on these photos. She may be a nice person, but to me she looks rather clumsy, not pretty or elegant.

She has a lovely smile. I don't understand the outfit but the clothing of the imperial family often baffles me. Most other young royals would be in jeans and riding boots. (V.M.)
ردحذفI hope she does horse-riding, too. Not just going to the stables for a photo op. If she is indeed riding horses it would have looked so much better, more authentical, to show her in her riding habit. The pinafore dress does nothing for her. It looks drab and very, very, very oldfashioned.
ردحذفDear Princess Aiko, please consider changing your hairline, it's for your own good.
ردحذفI agree with you. Looks like she has a bald spot on her head
حذفProbably stress from having people constantly nitpicking her appearance. 🙃
حذفShe's a very pretty young woman who for some reason dresses like a child much of the time. But I just love how happy she always appears!
ردحذفHappy Birthday Princess. She seems so much younger than 21 (maybe it's just the horrible, juvenile dress?).

Lovely young woman, her smile is contagious.
ردحذفAiko certainly does resemble her Father. Hard to find a fashion comment except to say that she is dressed according to the conservative styles followed by the Japanese Imperial family. That is her identity and it is understandable.
ردحذفPictures from another world,

A very charming young lady but that dress is a big no! MD
ردحذفI believe she is a nice girl, but here we are on a fashion website. It seems that she inherited the shoes of 96-year-old Elizabeth II. I'm 20 years older than her, but I wouldn't wear this outfit for anything in the world. Stephanie
ردحذفElizabeth II dressed much better (including her shoes) - she had a very elegant and iconic style,

I’ve read that for her 21st birthday the celebrations will be low key.
ردحذفShe is not allowed to have any public celebrations.
Apparently, in Japan, it’s their 20th birthday when they become of age and they have lots of celebrations to mark the occasion.
There were public celebrations for her 20th birthday.
I like what @-Ann said about Japanese culture…….”People who are really interested in it, respect differences, instead of bashing them”.
As for her tenue, she is a Japanese princess, she is in Japan and is probably still under the rules of the Japanese household.
A very Happy Birthday to Princess Aiko.
A very happy 21st Birthday to Pss Aiko of Japan. This Jumper dress is a bit boring and makes her old. css
ردحذفFormer Princess Mako and Princess Kako haven't looked this bad. While they have dressed conservatively, they never looked one step away from entering a convent. This is not at all according to the conservative style of Imperial Household Agency. This is on another level. It gives one the impression they are trying to keep her undesirable so she won't marry and leave the family like Mako did and Kako will most likely do. I feel very sorry for her. She looks very sheltered.
ردحذفThere were published (and not denied) reports that Aiko was badly bullied early on in school in frightening ways (“rough boys” was the description—brings up not good possibilities). For a time, her mother, Masako, accompanied her to classes. I don’t know her, obviously, but I would agree that she does have a very young affect for her age compared to her female cousins. She has a pleasant face but not exactly beautiful. Time will tell how her life progresses.
حذفI remember having read reports as mentioned by Anon 23:30
حذفHappy Birthday Pss Aiko of Japan. She has a beautiful smile.
ردحذفOh dear--nothing postive on the fashion side here. I understand the Japanese royals are very conservative but this dressis so severe. I know that as a younger girl Princess Aiko had some emotional issues at school so I hope she is fully recovered and enjoys a wonderful 21st birthday, full of everything she enjoys.

Es un vestido muy feo, lo siento pero si hablamos de moda esto no la favorece.
ردحذفFelicidades a la princesa.
