On the occasion of the visit of the German President and his wife to Thailand, a special meeting was held at the Royal Palace in Bangkok.
In full view of everyone, Queen Suthida and the first lady of Germany competed on the same stage, one went all out, the other was silent, and the two completely different first ladies performed the tactful and subtle diplomatic wrestling between the political leaders of Thailand and Germany.
On this day, the German president and his entourage were warmly welcomed at the Royal Palace in Bangkok.
The lights are shining brightly and the band plays the German national anthem. The King of Thailand stepped forward majestically, but a rare look of joy appeared on his face - he had been looking forward to this meeting for a long time.
First ladies in diplomatic occasions, their clothing and demeanor represent a country's cultural aesthetics.
Queen Suthida wore a champagne-colored lace dress, graceful and graceful; Germany's first lady, on the other hand, opted for a simple and generous professional suit.
Behind the two, it reflects the different interpretations of the image of women's diplomacy in Thailand and Germany.
For many years, Queen Suthida has been Thailand's "social calling card".
Her diplomatic attire has always been gorgeous and generous, reflecting the delicacy and elegance of oriental women.
For this meeting with the German president, Suthida chose a champagne-colored silk dress, which was both feminine and noble.
Lace embellishments with diamond-encrusted earrings and tiara exude the luxury of oriental women.
Suthida has always been well-dressed, and she knows how to use clothes to show her temperament. Hair and jewelry, perfectly echoing the skirt, the highlights are distinct.
In contrast, Germany's first lady is much more low-key and unpretentious. She opted for a black and white suit without much frills. Only one is shown on the shoe, and the orange pointed-toe shoes break up a bit of monotony.
This is exactly the usual style of German women - low-key and introverted, not glamorous.
As both first ladies, the two have very different styles that reflect the influence of their respective cultures.
In this meeting, Suthida's stretched demeanor showed the gentle and touching side of oriental women; The unhurried attitude of the German first lady is the embodiment of Western women's self-confidence. The two are in stark contrast.
From the details of the dress, we can also get a glimpse of the cultural differences between the East and the West in terms of women's diplomatic etiquette:
Thai female diplomats mostly choose traditional Chinese costumes to show the quintessence of the country; German women, on the other hand, prefer simple, modern professional attire, with no lack of individuality in rationality.
In fact, the rise of Suthida is also full of the hardships of the Thai royal family. She has been up and down in the Thai royal family for many years, and she has always been unable to hide the questioning eyes of the outside world.
It wasn't until a few years ago that she finally established herself and made her mark on the diplomatic scene.
This is due to the steady and forbearance skills she has honed over the years.
Now over 40 years old, Suthida shows no signs of aging. She always maintains a graceful figure, and her gestures are full of girlishness.
Coupled with thick hair and moisturizing makeup, Suthida successfully created a dignified and decent image of the queen.
This makes her as comfortable as a hibiscus out of the water.
At the same time, the former concubines and favorite concubines also left one after another.
Some left for the rest of the country, while others withdrew from the palace. Now Suthida is finally outstanding, and she basically takes care of the "appearance responsibility" of the Thai royal family's foreign exchanges.
Queen Suthida of Thailand received President Germany this time, which can be described as a great shine.
She was dressed in a pink lace dress, graceful and graceful, like a blooming hibiscus flower.
The first lady of Germany is dressed in a black dress, simple and restrained. The contrast between the two makes Suthida even more elegant.
Regardless of the things, the first ladies have fulfilled their mission of passing on the national culture. Clothing has become an important "prop" for them to shape their self-image.
By comparing the looks of the two first ladies, we can also get a sense of how women in different cultures should behave.
As one sociologist put it: "Dressing is a silent language, which can state the cultural and aesthetic tastes of an era." ”
This meeting allows us to re-examine the differences between the East and the West in terms of female diplomatic etiquette.
It also makes people sigh that the clothing is so colorful, it adds a touch of fun and humanization to the exchange of foreign cultures.
