Sorry, Rania usually looks gorgeous, this looks poorly on her. They both look like they didn't knock themselves out on glamour. Just plain unbecoming.

A statevisit to Jordan is always nice, Rania didnt look so good at the reception, the dress was "okay" hair looks like she didnt have time to do and the first lady looks like she'd prefer to be somewhere else. I hope we get to see Rania with the first lady on some visits to a few centers.

I like Rania's banquet dress. It is her day outfit I don't understand. Why grey and black and brown all together? And why a frilly black jacket over a dress with large pockets, all topped off with a belt? Too fussy.

**Mademoiselle Lilo** · #11 12-04-2007, 10:25 AM

i didn't like neither her day look:alot of things in one outfit and i can't understand yet her obsession for belt,or her gala dress not nice at all the hair too and i wonder if it's suitable for a stat dinner.
Qrania is elegant women she can do better.

We cant expect glamour at this state visit, at least not the kind we saw at the state visit from Spain last year and even then there were no tiaras. The Jordanian royals have a more laid back approach to these things than their western counterparts. Visits of heads-of-state of a republic tend to be more low-key any way.

I didn't mind the dress or the jacket, however the belt just looked odd and ruined the outfit. It would have looked great without it.

I've noticed that on previous state visits as well. However I didn't expect much by way of glamour, the aim of the visit was to seal various trade agreements etc.

I noticed when she travels overseas she dresses much much better & her hair is alway done

Hi, I have noticed that Rania often uses a belt. I wonder if she tryies to get better body propotions, her back looks a bit long, and like that it shortens her legs

... what we women wouldn't do to look perfect...

, right?
