Queen Rania of Jordan Makes the Case for Two-Tone Dressing in Elie Saab Dress, Brigitte Macron Takes on Hosting Duties in Classic White Suit in Paris

Queen Rania of Jordan joined her husband, King Abdallah II, for a visit to France. The royal couple was greeted and joined by France’s President Emmanuel Macron and French first lady Brigitte Macron, who hosted the royal couple at the Élysée Palace in Paris on Monday.

For the state visit, Queen Rania favored contrasting colors in a two-tone ensemble with a coordinated purse and white pumps. Elie Saab was the designer behind the royal’s look, which featured a two-tone color scheme in green and black.

The garment featured a pleated skirt and short sleeves, along with gathered fabric detailing around the neckline. Queen Rania carried a purse by Elie Saab as well in a light shade of green. Her white, pointed-toe pumps were designed by Jimmy Choo.

Queen Rania’s hair and makeup matched the formal occasion. Her hair was styled in long waves that cascaded down her shoulders. Her makeup featured a smoky eye and bold eyebrows with a soft pink lip.

Queen Rania posed for a series of photos alongside her husband, France’s President Emmanuel Macron and first lady Brigitte Macron. Brigitte opted for a similar color motif she previously wore on June 6 for the D-Day anniversary commemoration in Normandy. France’s first lady seemingly coordinated her outfit alongside Queen Camilla, who also fashioned a monochrome white look for the sobering occasion.

Brigitte chose all-white dressing for Monday’s visit from the royals, fashioning a double-breasted blazer with ornate lapels and collar. She also wore a crisp white coordinated skirt with a hemline just above the knee and wore white pumps that complemented her ensemble.

Like many royals, Queen Rania utilizes her fashion to make subtle sartorial statements evocative of the occasion she attends. The royal’s style has always matched classic silhouettes with contemporary twists, favoring designers who merge the two qualities. While her style has evolved over the years, her sensibility and approach to fashion largely remains the same.
