Aya Ueto

Aya Ueto models second edition of her bridal range

Friday 31st July, 02:00 AM JST

TOKYO —

Actress Aya Ueto, 23, walked down the aisle at Elysion House in Aoyama this week, showing off two wedding dresses from the second round of her bridal range “U AYA UETO DRESSES.”

Ueto modeled two dresses she had a hand in designing – one a black and white tartan number complimented with a light pink floral motif, the other a more traditional white dress but with an interesting head piece and lapel design. The two dresses are part of the new collection of 10 designs marketed under the concept of “Adult Cute.”

Ueto said that she is wearing wedding dresses more and more in her acting work these days, and that she has started to want to wear one for real. She said she hopes her dream of getting married in her 20s comes to fruition, but that there was no special man in her life right now. She also said: “I want the kind of pure love you see in Korean dramas. The kind that set my heart racing when I was in junior high.”

The dresses will be available for rental from Sept 1.

“Adult Cute"

I am happy that we are moving away from the 'Hello Kitty cute' to Adult cute.

The dresses will be available for rental from Sept 1. For my wedding, I want to wear something I own.

Good luck finding that special guy. She'll be yet another one who settles with what she can get before the clock hits 30. At least she's cute so she can have a stylish fling with some ikemen for a few years.

I like how she's been 23 for about 7 years now.

"I like how she's been 23 for about 7 years now."

I like how she was born on Sept.14, 1985, and that 7 years ago she was 16.
