    Masako ainsi que sa belle-soeur sont très chics dans leur tailleur à la couleur pastel ; chacune a choisi un chapeau après y avoir apporté une touche originale !

    Why dose Masako always hold her bag on her stomach?
    Kiko's way of holding it is more elegant.

    大統領夫人は用意していた寿司を模った小物を手にし、笑いが起きる場面もあったそうです。
    ドレスからも分かるように、大統領夫人は明るく朗らかな人柄のようですね。

    私は今、今夜行われた宮中晩餐会のニュース映像を観ました。
    皆様どうぞお楽しみに。

    The pink dress sure has dramatic sleeves, the fit is good for her. The Japanese ladies elegant as always.

      Those so called dramatic sleeves are actually a signature feature of Filipino national dress. Google it and see for yourself.

      ''Dramatic sleeves' look better with a longer dress. A mini/knee length makes the dress look like a butterfly!!

      @Anon 22:01 My Filipino friends who sometimes wear them call them butterfly sleeves.

    While the suit jacket is nicely tailored I think E. Masako’s skirt is too long. The pleats are awkward and spoil the overall proportions of the outfit. The Crown Princess looks lovely. The colour and style are both very flattering. (V.M.)

    Always the elegant Empress. If she would only try to few different hat styles, it would up be exciting to see the contrast.

    I was surprised by how beautiful Mrs. Marcos's legs were.
    I couldn't have imagined it from her figure.

    This is a beautifully tailored suit, very impressive, of good quality, she looks very elegant. Love the single strand pearl necklace. The color of her bag, gorgeous!
