Princess Aiko of Japan is making an official visit to Laos as this year marks the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Laos. On November 20, 2025, Princess Aiko made a day trip to the old city of Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Laos, as part of her visit to the country.
Princess Aiko wore traditional Laotian attire before visiting the Luang Prabang National Museum, which is housed in a former royal palace. She also visited Wat Xieng Thong, a temple with deep historical ties to the former Laotian royal family. She then attended a luncheon hosted by the Party Secretary of Luang Prabang Province.











i like these traditional styles on Aiko, the top is tight and falttering, the colours are simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteeven the shoes are lovely
DeleteShe looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteUne autre tenue traditionnelle sur fond rose dans laquelle elle est ravissante ; la princesse a su choisir des petites perles !
ReplyDeleteThe last photo of the Princess is wonderful! Her confidence has grown by leaps and bounds on this trip and her wardrobe has been perfection. Let’s hope we continue to see her take on more tours!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI agree totally!

Wow! One of the best looks I've seen on P.Aiko. The colour, the style and the fit of this traditional Laotian dress/costume compliments her very well.
ReplyDeleteYou can even see how confident she is in her smile and her poise.

The Japanese princesses always look so beautiful in delicate colors and pearls. This pink is the perfect shade.
ReplyDelete二枚の民族衣装は、ラオス国家主席の夫人と、国家副主席から、それぞれ愛子さまに贈られたそうです。
ReplyDeleteどちらも愛子さまにとてもよくお似合いですね。
愛子さまはこのようなタイトなデザインを、今後の衣装に取り入れたらどうかと思いました。
Agreed! These are beautiful, and the colours are gorgeous!

As always, thank you for the additional information. I agree with you!
DeleteShe looks better and better in these traditional outfits. Love her delicate jewelry with pearls.
ReplyDeleteShe's looking more and more like her mother - only a bit softer and feminine.
ReplyDeleteStunning outfit too !

I agree! She has blossomed into a beautiful princess! MR
DeleteUn rose printanier qui lui va bien. Il fait très chaud au Laos. Paloma.
ReplyDeleteShe would be a perfect Empress *dreaming*
ReplyDeleteVery very stunning!
ReplyDeleteIn traditional as well as modern clothes. Her soft rosé jacket is exquisite and very becoming!
Aiko is indeed stunning here, just radiant. I would not wish the role of empress on her; I think she will have more options in life as a princess. I do not feel the least bit outraged by the Japanese tradition of only males inheriting the throne, and I think it is great that the Japanese public can look forward to the accession of Aiko’s cousin Prince Hisahito to the role of emperor. Equality does not have to mean sameness.
ReplyDeleteHer uncle will become the Emperor first before her cousin does.

Her options as a royal will end with her marriage. While she is still single, I think we will see her as a great asset to the family.
DeleteYes, of course, barring the unforeseen Hisahito's father will succeed to the throne; however I think that the public in Japan probably look ahead with excitement to the younger prince eventually becoming emperor -- similarly to when Queen Elizabeth was still with us, many Britons, though aware that Charles was next in line, looked ahead to the time when William would become king. It is a natural enough sentiment.
DeleteWonderful! She would indeed be a dream empress
ReplyDeleteShe looks lovely. The darker pink versus the pastel pink suits her. Her shoes like they are a size to big, it would be nice to see a shallower vamp.
ReplyDeleteHer shoes often appear a little large; I think it might simply be her preference.
DeleteAiko looks lovely. The fit and styling of the pink jacket is very flattering on her.

Anonymous 15.49 - I'm sure her parents are very conscious of her extremely limited choices as a royal Japanese princess. It's wonderful to see such a confident young woman out on the world stage, as her mother was before marriage. This is a fashion blog so I'll add that she does look stunning in traditional clothing.

ReplyDeleteThe cut of the jacket is a superb piece of clothing architecture.. Just look at they way the bust darts the fractionaly too tight upper arm sleave, an extra 1cm ease there would solve that. Natan please note ,a crash course of pattern making and how to sew a seam and especially a hem in Japen would be a very good idea.
ReplyDeleteSie war noch nie so wunderschön! Das Kleid ist exquisit! Ein Traum!
ReplyDeleteA stunning appearance by the lovely Princess Aiko who has blossomed into a lovely young woman. What beautiful colors on Aiko! MR
ReplyDeleteBeautiful appearance by the Princess. Love the colors.
ReplyDeletePrincess of Laos♡
ReplyDeleteShe looks lovely. I think she would be a wonderful Empress.
