State visit from France: October 2003

I don't want to be mean but I think she should fire the one who did her make up, hair and clothes. I think she could look much better

yet, another one with Mrs Chirac

She needs a make-over in my own opinion. I think she should straighten her hair and then dye it with another color. She should be more open to wearing clothes that are modern in style just like other royals. I mean she should not also avoid wearing Morocco's traditional costume. She should not apply too much make-up. I would suggest that she would have the natural look. She would look more gorgeous on it. ANd whenever she attends a royal duty, she can put her hair neatly. I mean put it in a barette.

PRINCESS LALLA SALMA TAKES CENTRE STAGE AT DINNER WITH CHIRAC

10 OCTOBER 2003
Morocco's Princess Lalla Salma made another high-profile appearance on Thursday, as she joined her husband King Mohammed and French president Jacques Chirac for a state banquet in the city of Fez.

Sitting alongside the French premiere, red-headed former computer engineer Lalla Salma joined in the two leaders' conversation. In the past, commoners never even saw a royal wife.

Her outing comes a few months after she took centre-stage during Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's visit to the north African country.

The 25-year-old's increasingly visible role in Moroccan affairs is seen as further evidence of her husband's modernising approach. And their Parisian guest was eager to praise Mohammed's efforts to bring greater democracy to the nation.

"Morocco is a precious example of a country that has always succeeded in striking the fragile but necessary balance between respect for traditions and openness to the world," said the 70-year-old. "It is only natural that France stands by, supports and encourages Morocco in the path it has chosen."

It is common to wear long earrings when wearing Tak****as, but it is not a must. It depends on the personal style of the lady wearing them.

Me too and I don't like how she wore the black shirt under the jacket. New first ladies spend sometime to learn high society manners and I think salma can do the same if she didn't.

The white coat looks nice specially with that type of collar, it suits her face. But the picture is a bit fuzzy, we can't see details of her makeup. There are already close picture of her. I post here one.

It is obvious that French Presidents and their spouses enjoy visiting Morocco.
