Coming from a wealthy family, it is not surprising that the Queen of the South possesses such a streamlined and elegant aesthetic.
Những ghi chép, tư liệu về Nam Phương Hoàng hậu không quá nhiều. Hậu thế vẫn thường nhớ về bà bởi cuộc hôn nhân kém viên mãn, bởi màn đánh ghen “danh bất hư truyền" đã đi vào phim ảnh và cả nét quý phái, thanh tao ăn sâu vào cốt cách.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she lived in luxury since childhood. Growing up in an upper-class Catholic family in Go Cong (now Go Cong town, Tien Giang province), a young woman named Marie Thérèse Nguyen Huu Thi Lan was sent by her parents to study at the prestigious Couvent des Oiseaux girls’ school (France). Perhaps the poetic romance of the West has overshadowed and crept into her daily fashion style.
nUp to 1m75 tall, with a slim and extremely flexible body, Queen Nam Phuong always becomes the focus of all eyes.

Her charm does not come from showing off her skin or showing off her female body, but instead, that charm comes from her elegance and elegance. People will always remember Marie Thérèse Nguyen Huu Thi Lan with her long midi dress hanging down near her ankles. At that time, she looked so lively and full of youth.n
nShe completed the look of a Queen with a long A-line dress, a scoop neck and feminine bell sleeves, combined with jewelry, a tilted bucket hat, handbag and leather shoes.
Instead of choosing curvy pointed-toe high heels, she fell in love with delicate strappy sandals that made her feet softer.
nIn the 30s, she was responsible for promoting V-neck dresses, stylized puffed sleeves and a slight peplum-like waistline.
The way Queen Nam Phuong combines a blouse with a long skirt also makes people roll their eyes at this woman’s sensitivity to fashion.
When mentioning Nam Phuong, we must mention her love for Dior. She loves designs that regenerate a woman’s body, passionate about the elegance of round shoulders, seductive waists and plump breasts in sexy dresses. But instead of putting Dior’s colors on her ao dai like Madame Nhu, the Queen kept the traditional, elegant ao dai style. It is not wrong to consider her an authentic Vietnamese fashion icon, because she does not rely on civilization and extroversion to forget her original identity. Furthermore, the integrity and integrity of Southern women are still the number one priority for Queen Nam Phuong to promote to other countries.
nThe Queen is so trendy that as soon as Christian Dior’s bar-suit model made waves, she was able to shine in this design.
Having approached European civilization early, the Queen of the South still did not forget her roots.
nThe image of Nam Phuong wearing a bright yellow ao dai during a meeting with the Pope at the Vatican in 1939 is a practical way for her to promote Vietnamese culture.
Even until his exile, Nam Phuong still lived in luxury thanks to his existing wealth and family background.n
nThere is not much information about Nam Phuong in the last years of her life, only that she lived quietly in the countryside of Chabrignac, 500km southwest of Paris.
Until the moment she passed away, the Southern Queen still captured the hearts of those around her. Lucien Boudy – former village head of Chabrignac village, described the Queen as follows: “She is a charming, kind and friendly lady. She is also very humane and loving towards the servants and servants of the house.”
The pure and golden features of Nam Phuong’s personality are likened to the scent of the South in the heart of France. Maybe for a moment people will forget her, but the fragrant fragrance of that precious flower will spread far and wide, wafting in the wind and making people sadly remember a beautiful life floating in the political whirlpool of a feudal empire.
