The event brought together artists from the Vietnam National Drama Theatre, who presented ao dai collections highlighting Hanoi’s past.

The program also featured music performances and Vietnamese women modeling ao dai, said Nguyen Thi Minh Huong, Deputy Chairwoman of the Vietnam Women’s Union.

“Through this program, we hope to inspire and spread positive messages about love, pride, and human values. We also want to contribute to preserving the ao dai that it can soon be recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of Vietnam and the world,” said Ms Huong.
