Jordanian Royals in Traditional Dress Part 1: May 2004 - May 2012

[iakynthi]

Noor's dress is gorgeous!!Generally,light blue and golden is a perfect combination.
About Haya's blue dress:it's beautiful and impressive,but it doesn't look like a traditional dress,in my opinion.

I think the same but the dress isn´t western

 

[iakynthi]

Definitely not western,but not that traditional on the other hand.I can't find a word to describe it with accuracy,but I hope you understand.

 

[salma]

I understand you Iakynthi.

Queen Noor wore this dress in USA and too in Spain. I like it.

Oh,yes!She seems to like the blue-golden combination,which I find great.And look how young she was!!This photo must be taken in the late 80's-early 90's.

 

[Carminha Stalker]

Once again, Queen Noor is for me the most elegant. And blue is certainly a colour that suits her to perfection.

This pic was taken in March 1995 in Seville Spain during Infanta Elena´s wedding. QNoor wore the same dress in NY

I love Noor and Haya traditional clotes choice, always nice and look more jordanian
I like the way Noor keep promote the national dresses

 

[iakynthi]

Thanks for the info,Salma!In this last picture the dress looks so impressive and different from the others.

Me too Shrifia. I think QNoor make great job.

Welcome Iakynthi Yes I know. Anyway this dress isn´t my favourite, I prefer blue thoub that QNoor wore in USA 1998 or blue thoub that she wore during Israel President to Amman.

These traditional dresses do seem very adequate to the country. In a way I think that it does differ royalty from one another. They are representing each a different era. I wish Queen Rania would wear more of it especially in international occasions. I think it is only fair to represent the country to its fullest.

She wore too this dress during Jerash festival and in 2003 PdV interview

 

[iakynthi]

We shouldn't be surprised,lillas.Rania doesn't want to represent tradition,but a new page in Jordan's history.
About the last dress of Q.Noor:I find it tasteless and too much.

 

[lillas]

A new page in Jordanian history doesn't have much to do with Queen Rania's dress.
There are many facts that would change the perception of the world of Jordan , What Queen Rania wears should not be a worry really! What she does and what she leads her country to do and her people matters more. And I think Queen Rania does a great job in representing modern Jordan, she is a very smart lady.
There is nothing wrong with traditions. In the contrary it is a value to the country. Without traditions everything would be the same all over the world, no differences, no curiosity, only conformity!

 

[iakynthi]

In today's world the way someone dresses expresses more than we tend to think.

Thank´s Xavi I don´t like this thoub. Queen Noor wore it June 2000 during Jerash Festival.

 

[xavi83]

why salma it looks nice espically the color

 

[iakynthi]

This last dark blue dress looks beautiful,but Q.Noor ruins it with too many jewels,in my opinion.

IMRIC Queen Alia was hardly ever photographed wearing Jordanian dress and was well-known for her love of Dior. Similarly Queen Noor wore a lot of couture and only started wearing traditional gowns on a more regular basis in the later years.

Bizarrely Queen Rania appears to be held to some different sort of standard.

 

[salma]

why salma it looks nice espically the color

Yes is nice colour, but I don´t like the cloth and I don´t like Queen Noor wore this thoub with trousers.

Queen Noor wore many thoubs since 1979 and more regular since 1983. She wore jordanian dresses in official portraits, all years during Jerash Festival, King Hussein´s birthday parties, state dinners... Queen Rania wore traditional dresses more during her first years as Queen than now.

I was thinking more of the state visits abroad. I can recall her often wearing evening gowns as opposed to thobes, although of course I'm not saying she never wore them.

 

[iakynthi]

Haya's dress is ugly,don't you think?Appropriate only for a Museum,in my opinion.LOL

 

[shrifia]

I see too:Queen noor don't wore alot thubs on state visits abroad just like Rania and wich is in my opinion a wasted opportunity to show that beautiful clothes,however Queen noor and Haya definitely wore and promote national dresses more than Rania does.

 

[salma]

I don´t say Queen Noor wore many thoubs but sometimes yes she wore traditional clothes during state and official events (Israel 97, USA 98..), but she wore more thoubs more than Rania.

Haya's dress is ugly,don't you think?Appropriate only for a Museum,in my opinion.LOL

I agree Iakynthi but the pic was taken 19years ago.

 

[iakynthi]

19 years? Right,that's why I suggest they donate it to a Museum immediately

 

[Turkish Delight]

I don't like Haya's dress,either.
