June has been a month of glamorous celebrations for Queen Rania of Jordan's family.
Less than two weeks ago she was on mother-of-the-groom duties when her son, Prince Hussein of Jordan wed Princess Rajwa (who broke tradition in the most chic, modern wedding dress) in an ultra lavish ceremony.
Last night, the stylish Queen attended the King Hussein Cancer Foundation's 2023 Hope Gala fundraising event - a foundation of which she and King Abdullah II are patrons. "The event aims to support projects that sustain the fight against cancer in Jordan and the region, such as the establishment of specialised centres across Jordan under the banner of the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC)," explained the royal press department.

The ethereal embellished maxi dress from its SS23 couture collection boasted intricately embroidered patterns, a fitted bodice with a floaty skirt to create a flattering and feminine silhouette, and of course pearls - an Elie Saab signature.
The original dress boasted a strapless, sweetheart neckline styled with a satin ribbon, but the Queen totally altered her gown to make it more demure.

Pearl detailing across the newly created high neckline to add a touch of glam.

The Princess of Wales also stunned in Elie Saab at the recent Jordanian wedding (wearing the same designer as the bride? proof she's the ultimate stylish royal).
