Crown Princess Victoria Ingrid Alice wears a conical hat.

Swedish Crown Princess Vitoria Ingrid Alice paid an official visit to Vietnam from May 6 to 8 during a state tour in Southeast Asian countries. During this stay in Hanoi, she had an opportunity to enjoy a bun bo, Vietnamese traditional food originating from the north-central province Hue. This is a kind of beef soup and rice vermicelli that is served with chilli paste, herbs, onions that make mouth-watering at the first look. She also visited an elementary school in Hanoi where she was gifted a palm-leaf conical hat by a girl student upon her arrival at the school gate. Vietnamese conical hat is an iconic item that many foreign tourists feel like to buy as a souvenir or wear during their visit to Vietnam because it contains a large brim to cover their face from the sun shining. The conical hat and long dress are Vietnamese signature identities.
