In the Central region, the bride either wore 3 áo ngũ thân on top of each other similar her Northern counterpart, or just 2 layers of red and blue. As the top layer is translucent, the layers combine to form magenta. She wore white pants, many gold jewellery and an elaborate hair bun. At the end of Nguyễn dynasty, when sumptuary law is no longer strictly enforced, many brides from rich families also wore Nhật Bình, an attire previously reserved for noblewomen. In the South, the bride wore 2 áo ngũ thân on top of each other. The outer layer is green, and the inner layer is red. She also donned a nón cụ with white pants. Credit to Kris Nguyen. -- source link
