On February 7, 2026, King Abdullah II of Jordan, accompanied by Queen Rania, paid a working visit to Istanbul, Türkiye. The King and Queen were received by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and First Lady Emine Erdogan at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul. During the visit, the King bestowed upon President Erdogan the Order of Al Hussein bin Ali.
Queen Rania and First Lady Emine Erdogan also visited an exhibition of textile works featuring various renowned Turkish embroidery techniques on display at Dolmabahçe Palace. The exhibition is organised by the Maturation Institutes, public education institutions founded in 1945 to preserve and promote Türkiye’s cultural heritage.
Alaia wool curved coat
Dries Van Noten ruched velvet midi skirt
Overall a stylish look from Rania except for the white shoes.
ReplyDeleteRania is really fan of white shoes ; we have seen it on several occasions.
ReplyDeleteToutes les deux ont beaucoup d’allure, chacune dans son style ; la jupe vert olive en velours froncé de Rania pourrait me plaire pour mon dressing !
ReplyDeleteQueen Rania is wearing an odd combination of a navy coat, a bronze coloured ruched velvet skirt, a bronze coloured bag, a creaam coloured blouse and a pair of white shoes. Although it is by Dries Van Noten, I really don't like the skirt. The blouce is classic and will do. The coat is more or less classic too, except for the high shoulder pads, which are worse on the model than on Rania. On picture N° 7, I see President Erdogan is taking the hand of his wife. I think I never saw an outing of tenderness between these too.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure the hand hold is tenderness. They are not holding hands, he is holding her hand. There is an awkwardness across these photos.
DeleteYes you are right. The presidential couple they never smile either.
DeleteI never understood why white shoes are such a problem. It is not a generally accepted faux pas, just a personal dislike. What I don't like here, is everything else on Rania. Her skirt looks as if it slided down from her waist, on both pictures without the coat, and for me, the whole outfit is devoid of fit and form. The coat is nice but there it ends with niceness. Ms. Erdogan's outfit is for me more like a whole lot of fabric to cover the body (and yes I know why she chooses to do so, but this does not make her clothing to be an item of fashion).
ReplyDeleteI like this skirt and paired with the flowy blouse works to balance it. I like her shoes. The blue head covering is styled nicely, giving a bit of height, look good.
ReplyDeleteTurkish wife with western outfits... what a nice show
ReplyDeleteYes it's rediculous, not to talk about that kind of shoes......very tacky.
DeleteSorry, but I see nothing western here. The clothes are made to cover everything in the length and in the width. The head covering is also a style one never see on western women nor on islamic women. Maybe it is Turkish fashion ? The other women at the exhibition of textile works are well dressed in Western pant suits.
DeleteFull of botox.
