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 21, 2025, Princess Aiko of Japan visited the Traditional Lao Silk Residence in Vientiane. Silk weaving has been a cherished tradition in Laos for generations. Afterwards, the Princess met with representatives of the Japanese community in Laos.
Later that day, Princess Aiko attended a performance by the young musicians of the Issarapon Violin Ensemble in Nongvai Village, Vientiane. The Issarapon School opened in November 2015 as a kindergarten with four students. With support from Angel Garden Kindergarten in Japan, as well as Mao Sato, Nobuko Usami, and Dr. Hiroki Yanagisawa, it has since expanded and now operates as both a primary and secondary school.
On Thursday, November 20, 2025, Princess Aiko visited the Lao Friends Hospital for Children (LFHC) and the Kuang Si Waterfalls. LFHC is the only provider of free, high-quality healthcare for children in northern Laos, located in Luang Prabang Province. The Kuang Si (Kuang Xi) Falls, or Tat Kuang Si Waterfalls, is a three-tiered cascade situated south of Luang Prabang.
Pendant cette visite, la princesse aura été délicieuse en portant un choix de tenues traditionnelles ou non lui convenant à merveille !
ReplyDeletei miss the traditional outfits!
ReplyDeleteWell what an array of outfits. The first dress and jacket not the best. This pale pink is not a good colour for her. Clearly her shoes are too big. It has been said royals wear bigger shoes to accommodate foot swelling but sliding forward in a shoes is not good either. Second outfit again a tad too big. The blue suit fits well and is a better colour for her complexion. The blouse and pants look very nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you wrote.
DeleteI think she wears shoes she’s comfortable in.

DeleteI agree with the comments about the first outfit. The shoes are definitely too big. Sliding forward in shoes is very bad for the toes.
Contemporary, beautifully tailored outfits that fit Aiko exceeding well. What a wonderful you woman.
ReplyDeleteEvery outfit Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI agree, especially the blue with her half up hair style. Love the spontaneous pictures where her sweet personality shines through. She would make a wonderful monarch! MR
DeleteIk zie dat haar schoenen veel te groot zijn. Dat loopt vast niet lekker.
ReplyDeleteLa robe à fleurs fait trop petite fille à mon goût. Je ne sais pas comment elle arrive à marcher correctement avec des escarpins trop grands.
ReplyDeleteLa tunique blanche des 2 dernières photos est ravissante et s'accorde bien avec le pantalon bleu et les chaussures de tennis, la tenue est à la fois jolie et décontractée. Et la dernière coiffure lui va très bien, je ne savais pas qu'elle avait des cheveux aussi longs. Paloma.
I've seen other royals do this, but why? They wear shoes way too large, isn't that weird way to have to walk?
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I love here is the beautiful white blouse that Aiko wears in the last photos — she looks exquisite in it ♥️. The outfit would have looked _so_ much better if the trainers had matched the dark blue of the pants, visually lengthening, rather than truncating, the line of the leg. (That is so basic! It drives me nuts when white shoes are paired with dark pants 😖.)
ReplyDeleteI love the white shoes with the outfit and I’m so glad she did it. It’s fresh, young, trendy and it suits her so well! Other colour sneakers would have taken away the fresh and casual vibe!
DeleteShe looks bright and engaging, this is a great visit for the Princess. She looks lovely in all her outfits.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, she has become a confident and shinning star, she is a lovely young woman who cares and is interested in the places but more than anything the people she meets, I really enjoy watching her be her own self, Rem
DeleteWhite blouse, blue trousers, one runners = one of the cutest and best outfits for her ever!
ReplyDeleteA very charming young woman!
ReplyDeleteLes 2 premières tenues sont tout simplement d’un autre âge. Comment peut-elle aimer ces robes de fillette?
ReplyDeletePersonal message and how to for. How does she get big sleeves into slim suit sleeves ? Ive tried before and end up with either crumpled creased big sleeves or looking like mr michelin tyre man.
ReplyDeleteSimple supposition : peut-être que sous son costume bleu elle porte d'abord un tee-shirt blanc, et ensuite elle s'est changée pour mettre la tunique. Regardez en zoomant : le collier est différent. P.
DeleteWhat a lovely young woman.

For me the problem with the first outfit is that the bolero and the dress underneath don't seem to belong together. The volume and line of the skirt compete with the small, fitted bolero that should be the outfit's focal point. Imo the combination would have worked if the dress had been tailored closer to the body, like a sheath. -- Jane
ReplyDeletePrincess Aiko's clothes are always strange, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful, especially the blue suit, where she wears the trousers and no jacket.
ReplyDeleteIn a different universe, she would have made a wonderful empress.

What does fashion sense have to do with the qualities required of an empress?
DeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteSo you can actually comment from Japan too!
There are a handful of comments that seem designed to make it look like Japan has a bad reputation among English speakers, but what on earth...?
Princess Toshinomiya, always so lovely. Would you support Japan's future?
