In particular, the Ao Dai performance by the five ambassadors’ wives from the United States, Armenia, Morocco, the Czech Republic and Indonesia left many emotions in the audience. Although they are not professional models, the wives fully expressed the spirit of the Vietnamese Ao Dai.
The Vietnamese ao dai also enhances the gentle, noble beauty of ladies.
