Humera, thank you for your wonderful series on the traditional/inspired dresses. I really enjoyed it!

why she doesn't weare them outside,to make them more knowen as did queen noor at the spanish wedding,and lastely when she met many celebrities(Ricky martin...) in USA,or like in the state visit which she did with late king Hussein to spain!

She has worn a traditional-style dress once in Washington DC in 2003. It was the same dress she wore to the Jerash Festival few months earlier. But you are right she could wear them more often and especially overseas too. They are so beautiful and it would make people notice Jordan more and perhaps make the career of an aspiring Jordanian designer. There has been a lot of wonderful embroidery and Arabic-style clothes, particularly tunics, that I have seen in the latest designer collections and in fashion magazines, so it's not as if it would look out of place for Queen Rania to wear her beautiful traditional dresses outside of Jordan.

I thought the wearing of scarves and neck-ties was one lovely touch that Queen Rania added to her wardrobe throughout 2003-2004.

This is a wonderful ensemble! Queen Rania is wearing an actual tie, but it's uniquely tied around her neck.

Great idea Balqis.
Scarves are a great way of adding colour and patterns to an outfit, esp. as a substitute for necklaces and jewellery during the day. And Queen Rania has a beautiful collection. I noticed that she wore them almost constantly during her latest pregnancy.

[QUOTE=~*~Humera~*~ But you've turned this into a debate about what's traditional and what isnt. And I have no time to debate that.

Me either,but traditional dresses are one thing ,and "haute couture" dresses inspired with oriental touch is other thing,and we should not confuse the things as you posted dresses from Givenchy and Elie Saab like traditional dresses which are not!

Of course you are thanked for your labor and effort to post those pictures!

Lovely pictures Balqis :)
Did rania wore also the pant like on the model?
It's rare when I see rania wear something from an old collection (1-2 years old). The blue dress she wore from Armani was from 6 years old collection !!

I think she only wore the dress, not the pants. It is very unique to wear something that was made so long ago, but that's a testament to Armani's style, it is timeless. Also when Queen Rania wore that dress the trend was to wear vintage. I guess this is her vintage dress

Thanks Balqis for your answer to my question.
About wearing vintage ... I didn't know that; I thought rania follows only last trends of fashion.

Well that blue Armani dress was showcased at an Armani exhibition in 2003.
I agree that the look is quite timeless. Im assuming that Rania obviously didnt buy it in 1996. Maybe she had a look at the old catalogues. Or perhaps Armani liked the dress and brought it back in the latest collection like some designers do.

Thanks all for sharing opinions & information.
I understand when someone wears vintage because he/she recognize it as a valuable piece.
Then, I agree the dress is from ARMANI; but rania wore many from him and from others which were more beautiful. So personally I don't see what exception that vintage has to be worn after 6 years ... apart being fashion from the end of last century :)
