It must have been true that Shigeko was exceptionally beautiful as she was praised highly and it was said in the "Kenreimonin ukyo no Daibu shu" (The poetic Memories of Lady Daibu), 'It is hard to describe how beautiful and young she is.'
滋子の美貌は『建礼門院右京大夫集』でも、「言ふ方なくめでたく、若くもおはします（言葉にできぬほど美しく、若々しい）」と絶賛しているので事実と思われる。
