Lalla Salma wears magnificent caftans at weddings and official galas she attends. She wears European clothes for other engagements she undertakes.
Al Bina is right, although I think that Lalla Salma wears Western Clothes more often than the Traditional Caftans, it depends on the engagement, but most she takes part of are daily engagements and she wears Western clothes at them. On some evening engagements, weddings, gala dinners, special occasions (Fête du Throne, Fes Festival, WA enthronement etc...) she wears the traditional Caftan because it's more evening wear, sophisticated, exquisite and glamorous.Wow, it is not often you see her in "Western Clothes".... suits her well as well.... but nothing goes above those wonderful handcrafted Kaftans!
Bye Bine
I have a question, whenever I see Salma at a wedding, gala dinner, investiture, especially events that are in other countries she always wears a Kaftan. I don't have anything against a Kaftan, I think they're very pretty but does she have to wear them to these state events or is she allowed to wear a regular evening gown like Queen Rania does sometimes? I think she would look very pretty in an evening gown, especially an Ellie Saab gown she does beautiful detailing.

I agree, the Caftan is a very wonderfull piece, very enchanting and gorgeous. I think it's a honor to wear such amazing piece, plus you're honoring your country and let others who are foreign, witness with their own eyes the marvelous piece the Caftans are. I bet many other royals are jealousy for not having it, but we saw royals like Princess Haya wearing Caftan's before, it's because the tempting is way to muchWhy look like everybody else when you can wear such beautiful garment from your own culture?

Either way, the explanation is to honor the Culture of Morocco and to represent her country. Other royal houses like Norway and Sweden have a national attire that they use on National day. Morocco however has lots of morocan traditional clothes, it's on their daily lifes. I suppose the protocol for evening wear is Caftans for ladies, but men also wear traditional wear for evening as well.
Besides, Lalla Salma wears western clothes, but daytime, like suits and pants and dresses. But evening is for Caftan only.
It's their custom, if you see the evening events, you'll notice that not only the ladies are wearing traditional clothes, but the men are wearing as well.I'm not saying there is anything wrong with wearing a caftan and I'm not disagreeing that they are beautiful I was simply asking if she HAS to wear them for foreign events or if it is her choice because she has never worn an evening gown before as far as I know. I think it is nice that she represents her country in that way. I guess until there is an official source to back up the statements we'll never know.
