The Queen who as always was effortless was seen in a Valentino Triangle print silk crepe de Chine blouse. The elegance of the Ballet Russes inspires Valentino’s graceful AW16 collection. This dusky-pink silk crepe de Chine blouse is a beautiful way to tap the look – it’s printed with a dove-grey and burgundy triangle pattern, and detailed with a ladylike tie around the neck. Tuck it into the label’s matching skirt for an evening-worthy ensemble. She paired the blouse with a black bag which from what I am seeing maybe a Valentino Garavani 'My Rockstud' tote can't confirm it since there are not many pictures. During the metting many points were highlighted especially the importance of developing the association’s awards by widening appreciation for excellence and innovation, and encouraged plans to establish an award for excellence in early childhood education, and creating ongoing activities for the awardees.

Dressed in a unique black and white striped dress.

And like the other women present, she decorated her outfit with a shemagh - the Jordanian version of the keffiyeh - with white and red pattern.

Because in the end (...) it is not agreements but of human dignity in question, "she said. Rania has also called for "safer roads" for those wishing to visit Europe. "Many humanitarian organizations have expressed their deep concern about the EU-Turkey agreement (...) I think the serious concern is that many of the refugees will continue in desperation to seek safety and protection by seeking new routes yet more dangerous, and already we witness the expansion of alternative routes in Europe. So it is absolutely crucial for us to seek legal alternatives and safer roads (...) to Europe and the security zones "she said.
