Princess Lalla Salma's Fashion and Style Part 1: April 2005-March 2009

[salwa]

I find her attractive , there is something in that smile of her that draws you to her ...


Some of her clothes are elegent but the rest is ordinary , by time a taste can be aquired ...elegence is cultivated by time and improvement of taste ....until now she is simple but she didn't wear anything that can make her tastless or odd.....

Karim Tassi is a Moroccan designer, whether the Royals would ever use his services I don't know.

Actually, I think that the royal family of morroco has its own designers to make the caftans of the princesses.

I found this link which included information about 3 Moroccan designers, Mohammed Lakhdar, Najia Abadi and the Paris based Moroccan designer Majida Khattari.....

Thanks Little_star, Karim Tassi and Najia have many beautiful designs, also other Arabian designer. I think some of them is good enough to be wore by the princess (of course with some modification to suit princess's situation). I like the gowns below, I think its look glamour enough for the princess.

I don't agree with u at all ...im moroccan , i live in morocco half a year and that's not true that we don't find the princesses beautiful maybe asma but not hasna and meryem ...they are more elegant than any other princesses , and to compare Salma to the 3 others princesses is way to much ( faut jamais comparer l incomparable)

I agree with you Amira, we can't compare lalla salma with lalla meryem and hasna
lalla salma has a charm, but she hasn't the beauty and the elegance of the two sisters

 

[loubna2]

Someone close to the palace told me one day that Lalla Meriem told her to change the way she styled her hair, and they had an argument, and king mohamed apparently told his sister that Salma was free to do whatever she wanted and supported his wife. I think he appreciates her how she is.

I think that (if this history is true), that lalla meryem give her a good advice (very often, her hairs aren't well), and if lalla salma don't know to accept a good advice, it is meaning that she isn't as intelligent that I though

Or it may mean that she has a strong personnality and that she is very determined, and that she knows what she wants. At least that is the impression the person who told me this story gave. He was impressed. Many at the palace are impressed by her reactions. She is now known for having a strong personality.

I think somebody can give their advice to someone else but if it go with some force that will be a different matter. Just wondered what will Lala Meriem feel/react if someone does the same thing to her,force her to change the style she like. As for Lala Salma I can see that she has changed little more for her hair style....I think it indicates that she is still improving, but perhaps she just doesn't like being forced. I like her new hairstyle http://s2.supload.com/image.php?get=parismatchpink.jpg http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=155113&d=1117968905 http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=168500 less curly than usual and the colour seem darker than usual.

about the reaction of lalla salma, it seems to me that she is on the defensive, she don't listen to others and for that she make a lot of errors in public
I don't want to be hard with her, ( and on her beginning, I always say, that she is young and need time), but now she has 4 years experience, she isn't a teenager (she is 28 years old), but she is doing always the same mistakes with peru first lady all in pink, during the welcome of china president, her hairdo wasn't at all nice, her way to stand up, and to walk ( I see her very often and her way to walk and stand up wasn't at all elegant)
lalla meryem have a long experinence, and for me a person who has self-conficdence and with a strong personality listen to good advices and benefit of the experience of others and on the same time keep her own personality, it is for that this kind of person always improve theirself
after this history, I think that lalla mertem will never give her an advice, too bad for lalla salma

agree loubna2.

too bad not listen to someone with long experience.
yeh she can do wathever with her hair. that's her right.
imo stucking in one look don't reflect a strong personality but a rigidness

i loved her Kaftan .... soooooooooooo beautiful ..

 

[GlitteringTiaras]

Both kaftans are simplu beautiful! I want one.

 

[dazzling]

Both kaftans are simplu beautiful! I want one.

Rania's kaftan was on net-a-porter a while ago, it got sold out in less than 3 hours... You'll be able to find it in neiman marcus, saks etc

 

[bebajp]

I consider Princess Lalla Salma a beautiful woman, too bad there's not much pictures of her (I'm talking about public appareances)

 

[samia]

I don't find that her kaftan has nice embroideries, and I don't like also her jeweleries
about her beauty, I never find lalla salma beautiful, she is in the average, she has too strong features, and her face is assymetric, big forehead and little chine, it's my opinion

 

[clymène]

Rania's kaftan was on net-a-porter a while ago, it got sold out in less than 3 hours... You'll be able to find it in neiman marcus, saks etc

What rania is wearing is absolutely not a kaftan. It's a haute couture dress, nothing to do with the morocan traditional clothes. But I agree it is a beautiful dress.

 

[GlitteringTiaras]

Kaftan or not the item is simply beautiful, and Dazzling thank you for the heads up.

I'm going to head on over to Neimans to see if it's still there and proceed to empty my wallet.

 

[Al_bina]

Lalla Salma looks wonderful in the white-and-turquoise caftan.

 

[rosa]

According to the photo (I don't saw her on TV), it seems that the jacket has a gabardine cut, isn't it? And it seems also that this jacket is well closed, personally I would wore it without anything, I would add only a little scarf of brown color (this color suits her) tied around the neck
I don't like her orange glasses (nice on the beach, not in the work), and if her bag was black I think that it's an error, because with her brown blouse, it's better to have brown bag and shoes

She seems so tall aside the man on the photo, I wonder how cms of heels she wore (I don’t think that she is without heels more that 1.65m)

About her activity, it nice to see her active in the medical area, but for what I know, they are also ill persons on the country ; and they have big difficulties (much more than the urban) to have an access to the treatment, then her work must to be also for country people, not only for urban

 

[ikram]

I saw lalla Salma on television yesterday evening which inaugurated a plan of construction in Casablanca...
My god this woman is despairing... Princess and king's wife for 5 years...

she has not had any class absolutely nor elegance

all left in all the directions, his white tailor bad cut, her "bandeau" on the hair with appearance very cheap, her black bag, her glasses from a frippery which did not have anything has to do with the remainder of its look, her orange blush almost yellow... her colored shirt her step... she is really destabilizing

Maghreb Arabe Presse: Princess Lalla Salma chairs signing ceremony of anti-cancer partnership convention
this link will work only today i think


I think that this lady wants to be original so much which it gives a style more than awkward
yesterday it was a bad taste festival , the black bag, the white tailor evil cut, the printed with colors shirt , the 70' S glasses pink-orange , the stringcourse on the head... ouaou !!!!
why not make simple when one does not know???

 

[yazz]

She was nice today (yes, I know i have a bad taste too), and the headband is a good solution for her.

 

[GlitteringTiaras]

So her style is not exactly in line with yours. That's okay, but I believe it is her work and duty that is most important, in fact, no one can deny that.

Fashion is supposed to be fun; one is supposed to make mistakes. It's really no big deal.

The people of Morocco seem to adore her and that is the key, right? Not her fashion choices.

 

[Times2222]

I agree. Headbands are usually no-no. but she look surprisingy put together in her outfit.

 

[dazzling]

she has not had any class absolutely nor elegance

i do respect your opinion but too me this is the first bad outfit she has ever worn in 5 years in her role & i guess that is fine, not everyone gets it right always & its good to experience new things from time to time...

all left in all the directions, his white tailor bad cut, her "bandeau" on the hair with appearance very cheap, her black bag, her glasses from a frippery which did not have anything has to do with the remainder of its look, her orange blush almost yellow... her colored shirt her step... she is really destabilizing

I thought her red glasses was fun i would agree that the bag did not match the shoes nor the suit was well tailored but over all her look looked okay when put together

why not make simple when one does not know???

Because meanings of things are different to individuals... You might think this is over the top while lalla Salma might think this is simple & elegent.

I've noticed that sometimes, there is a tendency to enumerate flaws and faults rather than favourable attributes, however, I think a mixture of both would give a more balanced approach. Please try to include positive suggestions for improvement if you feel that Princess Lalla Salma is not living up to your expectations.

Thanks,

I think she dresses very appropriate for the occasion

Fashion is supposed to be fun; one is supposed to make mistakes. It's really no big deal.

You learn from your mistakes besides that we all have different tastes & to me Lalla Salma sometimes seems lost in her style but she does get the hang of it

The people of Morocco seem to adore her and that is the key, right? Not her fashion choices.

I agree, its all about you & the way you are not the way you dress etc

yep good solution its true but better hairdressed may be ......

this woman could be absoltly wonderful.....with another style more refined, she is tall, gracious, hav sublime hair and nice face
i really thik that with another style near to nicole Kidman(Chanel period with red hair not before!!!!! ) for example among other but adaptad to her ....she would be stunning
it is really to bad
its my opinion

 

[zineb]

orange sandals and black bag orange and brown sunglasses grey haeadband this look and colours aren't suitable together at all.
i agree, there is a problem somewhere. much money for bad taste
as usual her look is busy and it's not nice. why don't be simple? it will suit her and definitely elegant.
