Vietnam woman beauty through ancient fashion
Vietnamese women fashion has significantly changed in recent 100 years.
The fashion of Vietnamese women has evolved dramatically over the past century. Traditional garments such as the yếm đ ào (undergarment), áo tứ thân (four-part dress), and nón ba tầm (flat hat), which once symbolized Vietnamese beauty, are now a rare sight even in the most remote areas of the country.
While these traditional styles may belong to the past, they still captivate global interest. In 2025, notable international publications, including the Chinese Global Times, continue to explore Vietnam's cultural heritage, showcasing a retrospective look at the lives of Vietnamese women a century ago, complete with stunning images of traditional attire like the yếm đ ào, áo tứ thân, váy đụp, and nón quai thao.
“Vietnamese continue to greet one another with meaningful gestures, such as folding their arms when meeting elders, shaking hands, or offering hugs as a sign of respect. Although their everyday dressing style may be simple, their sartorial choices for formal events are more elaborate, with men wearing suits and vests, and women adorning themselves in Áo Dài,” the magazine notes.
Below are some captivating images of Vietnamese life published by the newspaper, echoing the elegance and beauty of Vietnamese women from that era.
