Firstly Salma's wardrobe is almost solely Chanel or Valentino. There's a huge amount of difference between buying a coat from say Prada or Gucci (off the rack) and wearing a couture Chanel suit. Couture Chanel often costs thousands of dollars and Salma seems to wear a lot of it. Just look at the last few pages on this page alone, there's several posts of her wearing Chanel jackets.
I recall she wore only twice or three times Valentino, and if she has preference to Chanel, so what?!! all her Chanel suits are ready to wear, you won't call every tweed jacket couture!!! All first ladies like to wear Chanel, Mrs Chirac, Mrs Susanne Moubarak and even Asma Assad, if presidents' wives can offer themselves Chanel suits, so why not a king's wife, and who said a RTW Chanel suit is more expensive than a Prada or Gucci one?!! As far i know, RTW Chanel jacket worn by Salma costs around 1500$, and for example an Yves Saint Laurent saharienne, onwned by Rania in three colors, costs 2500$!, or even one of her belt costs 4500$! so that's too odd to suppose everytime she is seen wearing a tweed suit, that she spent more money than others, nobody has the right to make her wearring Prada or Elie Saab if she doesn't like to.
Moreover Salma rarely repeats her clothes, I certainly cannot recall her doing so. So it doesn't take a genius to work out that her wardrobe is expensive.
Even if we see her rarely, and maximum once every month, she had repeated some of her suits many times, like the light green one from Valentino.
And it doesn't take a genius to work to tell that her wardrobe is not more expensive than any other first lady or royal!
I thought Moderators were supposed to encourage people to stay "on track" where thread topics are concerned; not deliberately derail them?
Moderators are at first members like anybody else here, and they read posts, and they are supposed to be fair, the unfair hateful criticizm against Salma from some members is clear to the blind. Because they contradicte themsleves when it comes to their perefferd royals, and try to find excuses and argue always to make them perfect and admirable!
Salma might have done some mistakes, but she's fine most the time, and doesn't deserve being described awful, ugly, tacky or hidous..
Meryem's wardrobe recently has been quite muted because of her recent weight gain. Moreover, personally her choices in colour and cut tend to be alot more muted than her sister-in-law's, her caftan choices are a good example.
Her makeup doesn't have anything to do with her weight gain.
And I don't see any relationship with he choice in what you call "garish" colours" worn by Salma and weight gain?!!, they even say that big flowers and red make a person looking more "heavy".
I also cannot remember having a penchant for couture, like her sister-in-law
And you remember that Salma wore couture?!! I myself trying to find a couture gown or suit she wore, but i didn't find any! All her daywear are RTW, and all her evening gowns are moroccan caftans!
By the way, her sister in law Asma, has also a preference for Chanel suits and bags.
Is that dig aimed at me?
We know Rania borrows a lot because she admitted it in an interview, moreover the hyperbole is a little pointless. Nobody has ever said she borrows everything. However, if the bulk of her eveningwear is borrowed then it is more than likely a substantial amount of her daywear is as well.
Aimed to you or to anybody who is mad, when people talk about Rania's spending on clothes and fashion!I personally don't care if she's happy with herself, but if she said that really, so she felt embarassed someday about the image she's giving and the criticizm around.
I personally don't know anything about what, when and where she talked about that, but if she really did once or two for some of her evening couture gowns, it doesn't mean she's doing for her all clothes, I am completly sure she deosn't for her daywear, and we see her everywhere everyday, wearing RDW designer clothes, even when they are very simple looking, and most of her evening gowns are couture made just for her, as they are modified or altered to make them more appropriate for her!
So you can't talk about the borrowing thing everytime that people can talk about Rania's spending on her wardrobe, which looks more like an excuse than an argument, since you decide to talk about how much Salma spends and not Rania!
Lalla Salma may have a similar arrangement, but I would doubt it
I also doubt, God thanks she's not doing, it's not her role to make advertising for designers and behaving like a jettseter on red carpets!
