I wouldn't say she's abadnoned him, but I think she's probably experiementing with different designers. The 2 gowns she wore on Jordanian Independence Day, especially the one at the Banquet, looked like it may well have been an Elie Saab gown. Plus she's gone through "phases" with other designers in the past.

There are strong reasons for Queen Rania to dress as she does. The upper echelon women of her country would tear her apart and refuse to support her causes if she wasn't more perfectly turned out than they are. Also,she attracts money and expertise to her projects in Jordan. First impressions do count to those who are in position to support her projects,and people will also listen more to what she says if she is well turned out. She is also representing her country abroad. She probably gets her clothes at a massive discount or free.

yes she does. She mentioned it herself a few months ago during a visit to the US. Designers also sometimes lend her clothes, I think most likely dresses that we dont see more than once (ex. the blue Armani dress worn several years back which later appeared at an Armani style exhibition)

Well...I'm an historian, and also a history bookworm, and it's always the same. When a Queen dress in a not lavish way, she is criticized for she is not "as Royal as she must be", and if she wears beatiful expensive dresses, she is crtiziced for " she can't dress in such a way, while so many people is starving in this country". A very known Queen was critiziced when she simplified her dresses, for people said: " She is ridiculing our country! People from other countries in the world, would think that we are a poor country having a Queen so poorly dressed!". Not to mention that this same Queen had been critiziced for her expensive clothes before ...It was exactly for this that she thought to simplify them.

The only thing that worries me a little about Rania is that she is excessively thin...a little like Letizia, the Princess of Asturias. It seems that young Queens and Princess are all near an anorexical state. This is sad for me...Since I'm thin wanting to be a little more dumpy and simply CAN'T get plump! :(

What about ready to wear? I'd guess some of the couture dresses might be lend.

But can't there be a middle ground? For example, I think Letizia manages to look both well-dressed and yet not excessively lavish at the same time. Not to say that Letizia is perfect or anything but she does manage to avoid criticism of excessive spending and she is never considered poorly dressed. It's only that some people feel that she wears repeats too much. So maybe there can be a way to avoid excessive criticism.

FYI: Queen Rania was voted second only to Kate Moss as one of the International Best Dressed women. Prince Ernst August of Hanover and Prince Williams of England were voted to the mens list. Crown Prince Pavlos and MC were voted one of the International Best Dressed couples.

By choosing some of Elie Saab's and Rodriguez's clothes she definitely has taste.

She originally wore it at the wedding of Farah Daghestani, Princess Basma's dauhter.

Here's a picture of the Queen wearing the dress at Farah's wedding, on September 23, 2004 (Petra).
Its a lovely design, it looked perfect when Rania wore it the first time while pregnant with Hashem and it looks just as good 2 years later.

Rania looks really good in all the Rochas gowns!

suPeRgiRL! · #**338** 10-12-2006, 10:33 AM

I just love her wearing traditional Jordanian dress.. The one she wore to the Independence Day has got to be my favorite so far.. Does anyone (preferrably who lives in Middle East) know where I can purchase these types of dress and how much they cost? Tanx..
