It's wonderful to see Masako at the reception again! And she's returned in style. A beautiful and elegant gown.

She looks really wonderful in both sets of photos-always great to see her smiling. The white gown itself is kind of underwhelming but she looks great.

I love this color on Masako, and she looks happy and engaged! I will admit that I miss the hat a little bit--I loved that entire ensemble when she wore it in 2017. However, she still has the brooch, so I'm happy

Masako looks lovely, and very appropriate for the ceremony. I'm not a huge fan of the bumper hats, but those seem to be the go-to look for many of her events. My one small quibble is that I wish she would ease off the eyebrow powder a little bit; it's a harsh look, especially since the current fashion in Asian countries is for a softer, lighter eyebrow.
And yes, such complex expressions on both Naruhito's and Masako's faces.

I knew this dress looked familiar, but I wasn't able to match it in my searches. Thank you for doing the leg work!
