Princess Kako of Japan Visits the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025
On August 23, 2025, Princess Kako of Japan paid her first visit to the Osaka-Kansai Expo, held on the artificial island of Yumeshima in Konohana Ward, Osaka City. She visited the Brazil and Peru Pavilions and viewed the one-meter-wide Wajima lacquer globe Earth at Night, which survived last year’s Noto Peninsula earthquake unscathed and has since been regarded as a symbol of recovery. For the occasion, she wore a polka dot dress by Strawberry Fields.

Fully agree ! DeleteSleeves and neckline are totally different from what we see on the model. Whatever the reason, this is a very classic "pretty young girl" dress - but wearable for all ages, I'd say. Kako looks as sweet as can be in it. Reply Delete
You are right the dress on the model is completely different ; the neckline, the sleeves, the polkadots are bigger on the model, the width of the skirt. Princess Kako is beautiful in her polka dot dress, but it is not the dress of the model. Delete
You are absolutely right @anon at 17:42. Kako was wearing the dress on the model on July, 25.This dress looks a bit similar but as @anon at 07:56 said, the dresses are different in many ways.
What a cute dress and wow her shoes have a nice point, rather than the regular rounded toe. She looks lovely Reply Delete
Pretty dress! I like it with either the red or the blue accessories.- Anon 9:13 Reply DeletePrincess Kako and polka dots are a match made in heaven:Adorable outfit! She is so engaged in her visits! Reply Delete
I’m a fan of dots so love her dress…she looks very pretty! Reply Delete Virginia Dogwood 23/8/25 21:09Princess Kako looks adorable in this perfectly coordinated outfit.

Kakon looks beautiful the dress is so pretty simple & elegant. Her shoes are stylish & this certainly is a subtle shift in the foot wear by a JRF lady well done Kako very stylish. Mary Reply Delete
I love this whole look--it's pretty, feminine, timeless! Kako looks beautiful. Again, she's finding a way to add some fashion flair to the staid Imperial fashion rules. Her choice of earrings is another fashionable addition--the Japanese royal ladies typically wear pearl earrings. Kako is wearing modern-looking costume earrings. I love this princess--she is a fabulous ambassador for the nation--and hope the Emperor can find a way to keep her as a working royal if/when she marries.
She is an asset to the royal family. She is always so engaging with the people she is there to meet. Love her outfit and her red accessories and just perfect. Reply Delete
This dress looks stunning, a simple basic dress, and she looks gorgeous. I like the style of this dress, the skirt of her dress has plenty of movement, and moves well. The bodice, necklace and sleeves I like. Love her accessories. The color is perfect. Reply Delete
Parfaite Kako dans cette robe à petits pois avec toutes les touches rouges dont le nouveau style de ses chaussures qui harmonisent à merveille son look sans oublier ses boucles d'oreilles et le maquillage délicat de ses lèvres ; adorable ! Reply Delete
