German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and First Lady Elke Büdenbender visited the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to discuss regional stability and strengthen partnerships for peace in the Middle East.

Queen Rania met with Mrs. Elke Büdenbender at Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman. During their meeting, the Queen and the First Lady discussed various issues of common interest. Mrs. Büdenbender serves as the Patroness of UNICEF Germany, while Queen Rania was appointed as UNICEF’s first Eminent Advocate for Children in 2007.
Ferragamo Oversize Asymmetrical Coat
Non, too much vraiment
ReplyDeleteThe coat is wearing her, way too much unnecessary fabric. Can’t see the dress, however the dark colour and high neck is not the most becoming for her.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought! MR
DeleteMy first thought as well. The photo at the dinner looks lovely. MR
DeleteI never quite understood what "the clothes wearing you instead of you wearing the clothes" meaning. But after seeing this coat, I get it.

Elke Büdenbender Is classically beautifully dressed. Timeless female elegance according to me! I find pictures of Rania increasingly sad as her decades long quest for youth is resulting in such facial changes as to be disfiguring. I wish she could know that at 50+ not only are wrinkles entirely normal, but look much better… we are all allowed to look our age and enjoy just being us. Must be harder as a famous figure but I hope she can relax into it soon.
ReplyDelete100% agree!
DeleteShe’s getting eaten by all the fabric!
ReplyDeleteHi Anon 01:31.
DeleteI love your sense of humor and completely agree with you.
I would also add that Rania's lips appear larger than ever.!

There is alo't of fabric with this coat, she does wear it as well as she can, it looks okay. I'm not sure what the black ensemble is she is wearing. The first lady looks beautiful. I love her ensemble, and necklace, which looks very effective. Love the color of her shoes. She is always dressed well, stylish and elegant. She never disappoints.
ReplyDeleteWhy wearing sunglasses, not so polite towards the guests, but maybe a problem with het eye(s)?
ReplyDeleteShe no doubt had her reason. She’s very well versed in etiquette after all these years!
DeleteJ’aime le look de la première Dame classique mais chic que je vois de couleur émeraude !
ReplyDeleteUne bonne grosse couverture nouée sur les épaules = et hop, ça fait un manteau ! :D
ReplyDeleteDer Mantel sieht an der wunderschönen Königin fantastisch aus, weshalb kritisiert man die Brille? Es kann sein, das es notwendig ist und die Gläser sich tönen bei Sonnenschein. Königin Rania mit ihrem liebevollen König Abdullah sind immer und auf allen Bildern perfekt. Und Frau Büdenbender wirkt so halb gekleidet, es ist Februar und da gehört sich ein Mantel, man sollte dabei immer vorbereitet gekleidet sein, es wehte auch ein kräftiger Wind, vielleicht ein sprüh Haarlack extra? Woran erkennt man eigentlich, das z. B. wie hier kommentiert die Damen sich angeblich all diesen "Korrekturen" zum Aufhübschen unterziehen? Eine Suche nach der Jugend? Und wenn? - Dorothe -
ReplyDeleteManteau d hiver avec des chaussures ouvertes.
ReplyDeleteAvec elle c est un défilé de mode permanent et gratuit pour mes yeux.
Mais ici personne ne parle des prix de ses tenues, alors que Charlène est toujours ciblée
Oui mais il y a moins de misère à Monaco qu'en Jordanie.
Delete12:17, I always consider the brand and cost of Rania’s clothes! I find her extravagant. I just might think it and not write it! Charlene is not “targeted” but it is well documented that she spends much much more per annum than any other royal lady on clothes.
DeleteThe coat Q. Rania is wearing is interesting if not somewhat architectural which with her figure and deportment she wears well. Love her hair in a relaxed pony tail, sunglasses probably needed against winter sun which can glare! Mrs Bundenbender`s dress is quite unremarkable, and she looks really cold - should have worn a coat.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The First Lady looks cold!! Or maybe it's the contrast of Rania's huge coat vs none at all. Should have worn a coat!
DeleteNot a fan of this coat. The wrap is too much it wears her, it should be the other way around.

What temperature is it in Jordan? Rania wears an enormous thick wintercoat and the wife of the German President in a dress???
