Queen Rania of Jordan
I ran into her twice today at work. Once, around 1pm, she was waiting for the elevator with 3 bodyguards and 12-15 cm heels - dressed in a golden embroidered suit. very classy. too much though. i estimated she was about 40 (actually 37). loads of makeup. hair up. then when i left work around 7pm i actually had to wait to let her and her entourage pass. she was wearing a white pleated silk mini-skirt (or maybe bottom of her dress - difficult to know). very modern and fun. the wind was such that it started lifting up when she walked in - an older woman with her said with a laugh "marilyn monroe." um yeah that would probably be an insult to rania. she's got looks and smarts. no photos. sorry.

i was there, too! the preformances were tre cool. but i think you're confusing the queen with one of the unesco ambassadors because she (queen) was wearing black and another lady had the white dress on. too bad there are no pictures :( it really was a nice event! thanx
Actually, yes it is possible that the person I saw was not Queen Rania, but I think it was now that I have gotten a look at her online. However, it is also possible that Queen Noor was there (I didn't see her). Her husband (former King Hussein) died recently, so normal for her to be in black. The Jordanian Court have not removed her title as Queen, out of protocol I guess, even though her son is now King, making Rania the Queen. Wish I could have stayed for the performances!!!
