Queen Rania celebrated her 54th birthday on 31 August and she looked beautiful in a new official portrait.
The Kuwaiti-born Jordanian royal exuded classic elegance in a fitted black dress with capped mid-length sleeves and a crew neck. She also wore a sash with a diamond crown brooch and diamond earrings.

The star of the show was the beautiful tiara perched atop her chic updo. The tiara, known as the Arabic Scroll or Arabic Script Tiara, is a sentimental piece for the Queen as it was a gift from her husband King Abdullah II.
The diadem is inscribed with the Arabic words 'Greatness for Allah' from the Quran and features approximately 1,300 diamonds, weighing roughly 20 carats. Rania rarely wears the piece but pulled it from her collection on her son's wedding day.
