Crown princess Kiko is the one who is always the best dressed.
Princess Kako's ensemble has a beautiful cut and color. A pity the fabric reminds too much the 60ies and 70ies.
Empress Masako's dress and jacket often in a white colour are always the same style. The design of Princess Aiko's dress is too old fashion for a young girl.

Princess Kako stands out in her bright colored suit, the fabric is splendid as always. Hard to say what shade of blue Princess Aiko's suit is ? It is true I think that she is maturing into a beautiful young woman.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think (comparing today's photos with older photos) her teeth have been fixed a little, and it has enhanced her smile and maybe her confidence too !
Lovely to see Emperor and Empress emeritus Akihito and Michiko. She still wears the kimono beautifully.

I hadn't noticed her teeth. I'm glad you said something. I do hope they were, or are, being straightened. It really does boost one's self-esteem, especially if they are shy to begin with. If only she could dress like a woman of twenty . . . ~d

Before the official event, the maids will be informed about the colors and designs of the dresses worn by the princesses, from high to low.
There is an unwritten rule that lower females should not be more gorgeous than upper females. However, I think this is not limited to Japan ...
Princess Kako is the highest female in this photo because Empress Masako did not attend this event .
The next-ranked Princess Nobuko would have known that Princess Kako would wear a gorgeous colored dress. She was able to wear a pink dress.
Her daughters(Princess Akiko and Princess Yoko)are next to her. The mother and her daughters are no longer in a good relationship and live separately. Her daughters, unlike their mothers, wear cool color dresses. With good communication between them, her daughters may have chosen pale pink, lemon yellow, and so on.
I think Princess Kako is a kind woman. In her private photos, she is very fashionable, unlike her official duties. Princess Kako wore a red dress, giving other princesses the opportunity to wear dresses in more beautiful colors than usual.
Empress Masako often wears white dresses and clothes with similar designs and hats of the same shape. Or a dark color dress...
It is necessary for the other princesses to prefer clothes and the dress of the color of the tone that they held down to empress Masako

Princess Kako looks fabulous! I can't remember ever seeing one of the Japanese royals wearing red.
