When HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein was spotted at the annual Epsom Derby in the UK last month looking impeccably dressed, it got us thinking about the style of the Middle Eastern Royals.

While all eyes around the world are on Meghan Markle, we looked a little closer to home at the Middle Eastern Royal women who are  taking the lead in the fashion stakes.

 

HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein turned heads in not one, but two flawless ensembles at The Epsom Derby which she attended with her husband Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The princess look elegant and sophisticated in a red dress which she paired with  a made-to-measure fascinator by Milliner Philip Treacy. Princess Haya wore the bold red outfit with nude shoes and accessories.

The previous day, the UAE Princess wore a bright yellow tweed ensemble for the Ladie’s Day event. She again paired the look with nude accessories, but opted not to wear a fascinator this time. The yellow jacket-dress was not only a bold bright colour it was flattering on Her Royal Highness.

 

Princess Haya was joined at the event by her daughter Sheihka Al Jalila, who wore a polka dot dress and fascinator also designed by Philip Treacy.

 

This isn’t the first time HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein has been spotted looking stylish. The UAE Royal is known for her bold fashion choices and loves to make a statement in bright get-you-noticed colours.

Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan is also fast becoming a style icon not just locally, but internationally too. The Jordanian queen is not only recognised for her impeccable style, but also her continuous support to local brands.

 

Her highness has been spotted wearing a number of UAE-based brands including All Things Mochi, which she wore on a recent visit to Millennium Park in Amman to celebrate the achievements of the initiative’s Masahati student club programme. She has also chosen to wear Dubai-based brand Reemami, as well as Bambah Boutique in recent months.

 

 

Queen Rania was most recently pictured wearing a two-tone kaftan by Layeur – the homegrown label of online boutique The Modist. Her Majesty wore the the Seraphima dress to celebrate Jordan’s 72nd Independence Day.

 

The maxi dress is crafted from two-tone jewel hued silk with a mid-calf length hemline, a high-neck collar and sleeves with contrasting detail.
