It's the first time I've seen her in Chanel. I thought she didn't want to annoy people by wearing such well-known and expensive brands.

Queen Rania has only worn Chanel on a handful of occasions. It really wouldn't be practical for her to go out and about conducting her official engagements wearing a Chanel suit. Even abroad, she seems to prefer wearing other labels.

[dazzling]

The outfit is boring and the least favorite of mine that she has worn in a long time. The overall look reminds me of a school uniform and moreover, I think its way too much grey.


But the labels she wears is just as costly as Chanel is and the couture she wears is way more pricey. The reason with many of the other brands she wears is that they don't have their logos visible which would make it difficult for people to know what she is dressed in unless you do the research.

Very nice jacket but the colors always gloomy why ?

[Aga.135]

Yes, I think that's the point - other brands don't have their logos visible and it's more difficult to identify them. That's why this last outfit suprised me.

[Humera]

That doesn't sound very logical to me. Any item of designer clothing is instantly recognizable as an expensive, quality, well-made piece, never mind what label it is.
To those of us with a discernible eye, the provenance of most of the items she wears can be identified. If she wears a Prada jacket to an official event, for example, it is almost immediately identified in this thread. So I don't buy the logo argument because that would imply she's trying to hide what label she's wearing. I don't think that is possible in this day and age when everybody has access to her pictures and what she wears is reported on all over the place.
My point is, those who know designer clothing, will know what she wears. Many, if not most, people she meets during her official engagements, however, won't (no matter what the label).

[Aga.135]

I think you don't understand what I mean. I was thinking about Jordanians. They may not know that their queen has a very expensive Prada coat or Lanvin bag. I suspect that they aren't looking for it in Vogue. Moreover you won't find this information in most of European magazines (what queen Rania is wearing). But almost everyone knows Chanel logo and everyone , even poor Jordanians, knows what it is. I wasn't thinking about people like you and me who spend time on looking for high fashion in the Internet and who can identify almost everything.

[Humera]

I would contest the assumption that most poor Jordanians know a Chanel label when they see one, I doubt that is true in much of the developing world, let alone Jordan.
As for European magazines, they do often publish info. on Queen Rania's clothes and online sites regularly have articles on what she's wearing, which bag she's carrying etc.

[Mademoiselle Lilo]

i don't know the big deal here Channel isn't the only expensive brand in the world and alot of Princesse wore their pieces in their official engagements i don't see why is not practical or logical plus Queen Rania has wore much more expensive outfits than Channel and from other brands.
anyway i join Dazz opinion the outfit is boring and look like school uniform not her best.

[Aga.135]

It's not a big deal - I just wanted to say that clothes without the logo even if they are expensive are more suitable for the queen of a poor country. I know that other Rania's pieces are far more expensive but people don't know it because they don't see the logo and Elie Saab dress can be an ordinary dress for them. And of course, a lot of princesses and queens wear such things but let's say sheikha Mozah's country doesn't have to ask for financial help.

Girls, Jordan is not the only and one poor country whose leaders wear expensive clothes. I believe that Queen Rania has a very low profile in clothes, they are well known brands maybe but they are simple, extremely simple. A queen or a president can't wear rαgs, he has to wear some decent clothes

[Aga.135]

I understand your point of view but there are some clothes between rags and Lanvin. You don't need to have a Prada jacket to look appropriate even if you are a queen. Well-known brand doesn't always mean the highest quality (if you are interested in high fashion I recommend a book by Dana Thomas - Deluxe: How luxury lost its luster). I have nothing against Rania's expensive clothes but only when she maintains sanity. Does she really needs HUNDREDS of bags, similar dresses and every month new diamond earrings to look appropriately for the situation?

The average Jordanian woman may not be wealthy, but she is not ignorant as well! Any Jordanian woman with access to Internet, magazines and newspapers know what Chanel is and can recognize the very famous crossed Cs. While it's regal to wear premier designer clothes, wearing designer items with obvious display of their logo is such a faux-pas for someone like her. As a queen it is best for her to keep away from monograms and logos because they usually send the wrong message, gladly she rarely does it.

Rags was a phrasal exaggeration.Decent clothes at this social level (queen or president) means expensive clothes, I may not agree but this is the reality. She doesn't wear Lanvin every day but in special occasions. If not her then who?
Also I disagree with the opinion that Jordanians don't know brands logos, or can't say if a dress is a high fashion dress or not, I am sure they know as other countries 's people
