The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are making a four-day official visit to Japan from September 19 to 22, 2025. On Friday, September 19, 2025, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako welcomed the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh for tea at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. On this occasion, the Duchess of Edinburgh wore the 'Maude' blue multi-printed pleated silk twill shirtdress by Gabriela Hearst.

I think I will simply skip her appearances ... such a lovely person but in my eyes, her sartorial choices are really poor. Shirt dress after shirt dress, which is nice for all those who love shirt dresses and nice for many occasions, but here it is too casual, not elegant enough. Same applies for: print after print ... inadequate for meeting the Imperial family.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very deep curtsy from Duchess of Edinburgh. I'm not complaining though. And her dress is lovely - the flowers pair very nicely with the blue of he dress. I wish we had more details on the Empress' outfit, I particularly would have loved to see the interesting design of the sleeves of that jacket. She looks lovely too.

Beautiful outfit on Empress Masako. The long coat is the best part.
ReplyDeleteSophie's dress is nice too. I like that shade of blue. The fabric print with the boughs and white blossoms looks fittingly Japanese.

Kaiserin Masako sieht so erfreut und jung aus, die Jacke ist einzigartig schön. Herzogin Sophie trifft mit diesem Kleid ein mal mehr den Punkt. Kostbare Seide eine Farbe die nicht schöner für sie sein könnte. Das Muster harmonisch und alles weitere machen sie mit Ausstrahlung und sicher freundlichen Gesprächen. Alles wunderbar ; ) - Dorothe -
