On November 24, 2025, Queen Rania of Jordan attended the inaugural Franca Fund Gala at the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. The event was organized by Qatar’s hub for innovation, M7, and the Franca Sozzani Fund for Preventive Genomics, in support of medical research. Queen Rania was received by Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Chair of Qatar Museums and Co-Chair of Fashion Trust Arabia.
Co-hosted by Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Franca Fund founder Francesco Carrozzini, and Vogue Global Editorial Director Anna Wintour, the gala paid tribute to the life and legacy of the late Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Italia, Franca Sozzani, who passed away from a rare cancer in 2016.
The Franca Fund is a research and advocacy organization dedicated to advancing the use of genomic data to help predict and prevent disease before symptoms arise, with a focus on underserved communities. Established in 2018, it aims to improve access to cutting-edge personalized medical treatments for a range of health concerns.
This is a beautiful outfit with definite ethnic style influences most appropriate to the location of the event. The satin gives it richness, and I love the colour combination of ice blue and copper. Rania is the perfect person to wear something like this.
ردحذفHer excellency the Sheikha also looks very elegant in her traditional green and gold silk Thawb.

@Anon 9:13 I love this colour combination too. The neckline of the blouse is genious. The point where the edges of the collar meet is delightfully placed. A refreshing and beautiful design.
حذف@Zucchina I agree100%. That collar and neckline is beautiful, and to me, so are the sleeve cuffs, which balance the top.

Forever 21! Queen Rania is a fairtale, very beautiful! I like the design and flow on the skirt
ردحذفWho is the gentleman? He looks like christopher watts, shocker!
ردحذفExtreme inappropriate comment. Maja
حذفCredo sia il figlio di Franca Sozzani.
حذفFair question 16:03. I don’t think he looks remotely like Christopher Watts, but a very dapper Italian, which he is, and Rossella has named him.
حذفA very inappropriate comment indeed.
حذفT
@16:03 it’s not him but it’s natural we can be reminded of others and I don’t find your comment to be a problem
حذفThank you Rossella @19:36.
حذفThe very handsome man in question is indeed Francesco Carrozzini.
He is an Italian/American film director and photographer.
Yes, he is the son of Franca Sozzani.
I think he is attending this event to represent his deceased mother who was the editor-in-chief of Italian Vogue,
Sadly, his mother died in December 2016 from lung cancer.
She was 66 years old.
His niece , Sara Miano, is now the editor of Italian Vogue.
First impression: gala or not, seems to me quite a bit over the top and eccentric. Either the otherwise very nice, but not really "simple" top, or the otherwise very nice, but also not really "simple" skirt, but not both together, because they seem to compete for attention. Even if some of you will look for and find the colour of the top in the skirt - I did it too. But it does not make it better.
ردحذفAnonyme 16 : 28, je suis d'accord, c'est un peu excessif.
حذفCe chemisier doré serait magnifiquement en valeur avec un pantalon satiné noir. Paloma.
An outfit worthy of a queen, love the colours. She always manages to showcase a mix of Arab and western style through design and fabrics. Love the skirt.
ردحذفI agree. The queen wears her clothes with poise and grace.
حذفEpoustouflante Rania dans cette harmonie de couleurs ; ses cheveux légèrement raccourcis encadrent à ravir son visage !
ردحذفLove the dark golden blouse.
ردحذفWow — luscious fabrics, beautiful flowy lines, and attractively edgy color combination — but imo the wide dropped-waist embellishment detracts from the look. The pretty waistband by itself was enough. — Jane
ردحذفOh, she looks marvellous.
ردحذفBeautiful outfit, but she looks more and more like a Barbie doll caused by excessive plastic surgery imo. Very unnatural.
ردحذفThe blouse is beautiful, feminine and pretty, love the color. Her skirt is gorgeous, the waistband with embellishments I like, adding some color. The skirt flows and moves well. Her small clutch is a good color, same as her blouse, clever choice. Her hair and makeup look lovely.
ردحذفI would love to know the designer or fashion house who created the Queen’s ensemble.
حذفI’d love to see some more of their work.
Love the skirt not so much the blouse, the color is fine but the style not my taste. Ranis looks great in this outfit,

Absolutely stunning outfit by this seeker of eternal youth. The fabrics are so lush and the colour combinations divine. I would only love to see her beautiful face as a natural face to complete this outstandingly beautiful look.
ردحذفWow, she looks incredible. I love her outfit.
ردحذفWhat a stunning outfit, such a beautiful queen.
ردحذفAlways dressed so beautiful Q R, but this time, to much!
