Vietnam Airlines Confirms New Cabin Uniforms; But a Different 787 Business Seat?

Vietnam Airlines (VNA) has confirmed the introduction of new uniforms for cabin and flight crew members:

VNAFlyer previously posted an Instagram photo of the purported uniforms captured on the computer screen of an unknown person.

The traditional Vietnamese ao dai is preserved, though now uniform colors are based on the cabin being served: blue for economy, and gold for business. The new uniforms can already be seen on some international routes.

New Cabin Crew Uniforms for Vietnam Airlines?

A reader recently emailed me, alerting me to an Instagram post from user "flywithdinh" that purportedly shows new uniforms for cabin attendants, as part of Vietnam Airlines' (VNA's) rebranding effort.

If accurate, it may indicate that VNA looks to be differentiating the seniority of the crew members by uniform color (yellow for purser), as well as providing a different outfit onboard and away from the plane.

Here is a photo of the current cabin crew uniform:

What do you think? Do you like the updated look or the current uniforms?
