    1. Yes the empress is always elegant, and here more than ever. I would gladly wear her outfit.

    I find the dress and jacket of Mrs Gageler particularly lovely for this visit. I think her shoes sit very well with the outfit and probably match most things - a very good buy. I secretly wish Masako would ask her where she got the dress, and enjoy introducing some patterns into her dresses (not that there’s anything wrong with the gorgeous plain silks she wears, but patterns are fun). I just read up on Chief Justice of the High Court, Mr Gageler, who I find in these photos is very tall but has a natural elegance: he has a black belt in taekwondo and is by all accounts a very humble man despite his role.

      i prefer the dress of the empress. the australian lady's dress makes her look too short in my opinion. her shoes are lovely though. i think the navy dress is gorgeous

      I think Mr Gageler’s wife looks short because she is short! Love the dress.

    Love the teal/blue dress, shows that the correct proportion to height the skirt length and shoes. The empress wears her dress mid calf which is perfect for sitting, it covers the knees

  5. The two toned jacket looks great, effective and adding interest. The skirt fits well, aligning well with her jacket. Her shoe color, perfect. Love the addition of her pearl necklace.

  6. L’ensemble de Masako est d’une couleur très douce avec une touche plus foncée au niveau du col et des poignets ; très chic son époux pour être à l’unisson !
