Princess Rajwa of Jordan looked simply breathtaking when she was first seen at Zahran Palace in Amman for her 2023 nuptials to Crown Prince Hussein.
The royal, now 30, wore two beautiful designer gowns - the first by Elie Saab with a high neckline and long sleeves, and the second by Dolce & Gabbana with a full skirt.

The Queen was seen with the Arabic Scroll Tiara, styled into her loose curls. The glittering diamond and platinum number features the prayer 'Allah is great' in Arabic lettering.
To accompany her dazzling diadem, Rania wore a black and gold gown from the Dior AW22 Couture Collection before switching into a beige beaded gown by Elie Saab which Vogue Arabia reported was "reminiscent of the one-shouldered shape of the traditional Chut Thai, the national dress of Thailand".
