She look prettier with a light make up

I think that Lalla Salma always looks pretty, beautifully gowned, and fully at ease with her role. To me, she has great character and dignity, and I'm sure, is a beacon of possibilities for women everywhere in her world, which matches the respect which others outside of her immediate milieu feel for her,

I also think that any country, anywhere, would be delighted to have such a sympathetic, empathic, intelligent, and well-educated and accomplished woman as its foremost female citizen.

Thanks for the photos, salma.

I love her caftan here, it's absolutely perfect and her make-up is much lighter than usual and looks much better. She looks lovely.

My only gripe is that her hair as usual is very boring, it would be nice if she updated it.

thank's for the photo

[grevinnan]

Her hair is the most amazingly beautiful I have ever seen.

[amina1]

yes I agree, red, rich thick hair. if she just styles it more

[grevinnan]

I find her hair perfectly styled. There are enough of look-alikes in these royal sites. Her hair is very unique and her style shows it off very nicely.

...... Fes-born Princess Lalla Salma, the king’s wife, arrived fashionably late for some of the events at Bab El Makina, the idyllic open-air site of the pricier evening concerts........

[Little_star]

Being a stickler for punctuality, I find it more than a little rude that Salma was late in attending.

The BBC had an interesting article on the Music Festival.

"The week that Saudi Arabia held its first ever conference on interfaith dialogue, Morocco was hosting its 14th festival of World Sacred Music.
Artists from all over the world converged on its ancient city of Fez, to the east of the capital Rabat."

i think her attantion was the wait until all people get their places,the event start so nobody can notice her arrival ,although peopel were so excited about her presence.and according to alayam magazine she arrive to attend the Abdelwahab Doukkali's consert with her grandmother
by the way very intersting article thanks for sharing Little_Star.
