      The hair style is lovely on her as well as the color of the jacket. MR

      I hope that, while keeping the same basic style, Aiko will allow her hair to grow to shoulder-length, which I think would be very flattering. It is the style in which Empress Masako -- then Masako Owada -- wore her hair when she became engaged to then-Crown Prince Naruhito. -- Jane

    Aiko a changé de coiffure et ça la transforme totalement, formidable !
    Elle est mignonne en bleu ciel, mais les 4 poches de sa veste ne sont pas judicieuses et la jupe semble trop large pour une jeune femme.
    Le tailleur-pantalon de Masako est élégant et j'aime qu'elle soit assortie à sa fille. Le foulard est joliment noué.

  6. Je crois que cette nouvelle coiffure arrondit encore plus le visage de la prinesse Aiko.

      Well no, effectively her face is exactly the same shape as last week! She has a beautiful face, still young, and it looks very well with her new choice of haircut. I think her minimal fringe sits better in this style than in her former pony tail. Gorgeous choice!

      I agree with Eugenie: the turned-in bob hairstyle does create the impression of a rounder face. This particular style would have that effect on anyone, and is best suited to a thin face. Aiko is so pretty that she can wear almost any hairstyle successfully, but I am sorry that she cut her beautiful long hair; she looked so beautiful with it styled in elegant updos. Her outfit is ok, but as seems to so often be the case, the skirt has a bit too much volume, and a pencil skirt would create a nicer silhouette. I’m so grateful, though, that she does not seem to be a fan of pantsuits! ❤️

    Lovely new hair style. Much younger and more up-to-date than her long hair.

    It looks like both their outfits were cut from the same cloth.

    愛子さまは幼少期から超ロング→ボブを繰り返しているので、ヘアドネーションしているのではと言われていますね
    大学生の頃ぶりのボブですが、当時とまた印象が違って大人っぽくて素敵です

    I heard Pss Aiko donated her hair. She must have grown it out for quite a while for that, and cutting that much off probably took some courage. That’s really nice of her.

  12. The Empress's pantsuit looks beautiful, color, fit and style. Love the colorful silk scarf, adding interest and looks chic. The accessory color is perfect.

    Beautiful outfits in lovely shades of blue. However, it might be nice if the ladies switched the outfits. I think Masako's pants suit has a more youthful vibe and would like nicer on Princess Aiko look than the dress. Just my opinion.

    I absolutely love princess Aiko's new hairstyle. It really suits her. And the blue that both she and her mum wear is quite flattering.
