ASEAN ambassadors’ spouses don Vietnamese Ao Dai for US catwalk

VOV.VN - The wives of ambassadors of ASEAN countries in the United States modelled in the Vietnamese Ao Dai (traditional long dress) during a cultural event hosted by the Embassy of Vietnam in Washington D.C. on October 4.

The group included the wives of the ambassadors of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, along with the wives of staff at the Embassy of Vietnam in the US.

The show contributed to spreading love for Ao Dai to international friends, sending a message that women are more beautiful when they wear the dress.

During the cultural event, visitors were able to purchase Desilk silk products or order Ao Dai at booths set by the Embassy of Vietnam.

They also showed a keen interest in the performances of Vietnamese people in Ao Dai with Non La (palm-leaf conical hats).

Visitors also had the chance to taste Vietnamese dishes, helping them to gain a greater understanding of Vietnamese cuisine.

The event was held ahead of Vietnamese Women’s Day that falls on October 20.

It is also a regular event arranged by the ASEAN Women's Circle in Washington D.C. (AWC-DC) monthly and alternately among ASEAN member states, aiming to introduce their culture to international friends.
