The queen has a track record of choosing outfits designed by Arab and Middle Eastern designers for prominent engagements. Earlier this year, while attending an iftar hosted by women of the Bani Sakher from the Badia region of Jordan, she opted for a traditional, embroidered thobe in solidarity with her hosts. She marked Jordan’s 74th Independence Day in 2020 with an elaborate blue kaftan by Palestinian designer Dar Noora. And for the wedding ceremony of her son Crown Prince Hussein and Saudi Princess Rajwa last year, she donned another Saab creation. During the meeting between the Jordanian and French leaders, the instability in the Middle East and the “catastrophic humanitarian situation” unfolding in Gaza was discussed, a statement released on Queen Rania’s official website said.
