King and Queen's activities during the day (Petra): I loved the hair, quite different from what we've seen from Rania recently.

it was about time she chnages her style. Its not a favourite look but its better than usuall. also th eblue dress is elegent but looks like a school uniform. I think too much navy blue going on the dress and the hair band though it looks cute

I wonder what colour is her hair, it looks diff everytime, sometimes brown heighlights,or the bottom part is brown and brown up Does anyone know more

I don't see why Rania would look ridiculous in a sari, she certainly, has the height, figure and elegance to carry one off.

Who cares or talked about elegance or figure,I didn't say SHE but IT would be ridiculous ,because I don't see why the Queen of Jordan would wear the national costume/dress of India in a state visit,it will look like a disguise.I would say bravo though,if she wears the Jordanian one,she never did on one of her overseas trips.

Her natural hair is dark brown/black,like most arabs and middleastern people,you can check her pictures when she was kid and teeneger.

I believe she has light brown highlights on her natural colour, not red as it seems sometimes.

I must admit I'm not sure if I liked that blue dress she wore. She is certainly into blue at the moment and it does suit her but that dress is a little too plain and dull for her - it makes her look older than her years.

And a high scooped neckline really flatters no one - no matter how beautiful they are.

Her hair is lovely as always, she seems to like to experiment with colours quite a bit - it always looks quite different.

And I agree about Sonia Gandhi shrifia.

Camilla wore shalwar kameez on her recent trip to Pakistan, she didn't look ridiculous. Moreover I've seen visits to Morocco in the past where people have worn caftans, I don't think it's ridiculous. It's a nice touch. It's a shame Rania didn't get the opportunity to wear one.

Thanks for alll the photos everybody! Rania looked great, I love the dark blue evening dress and the bun looked very chic.
Sonia Gandhi's sari was horrible though, she normally has ok taste but I'm surprised she went for such a garish and old-fashioned look.
