Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya wore a traditional Thai dress, the Chud Thai Dusit, made from naturally dyed indigo silk, while attending an official State Dinner at the Élysée Palace in Paris yesterday, June 29.
The images and details were shared today, June 30, on the official Facebook page HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya.
The State Dinner was held at the Élysée Palace, the official residence of the president of France since the establishment of the Second French Republic in 1848.
Originally built as the residence of the Comte d’Évreux, the historic palace is now used for state ceremonies, high-level meetings and official receptions for heads of state and members of royal families from around the world.
French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron hosted the event.
Princess Sirivannavari’s Thai Dusit dress, or Chud Thai Dusit, was made from naturally dyed indigo silk woven by the Chantharasoma weaving group under the direction of Ajarn Veeratham Trakunngoenthai.
The outfit was tailored and embroidered by Tirapan, the fashion house founded by National Artist Tirapan Wannarat.
Distinguished by its wide neckline, sleeveless design, embroidered bodice and pleated front-panel skirt with a decorative front flap, the Thai Dusit dress is one of Thailand’s recognised royal traditional costumes, traditionally worn for evening functions and formal royal ceremonies requiring full ceremonial dress.
