The 1 Thing Queen Rania Looks For in a Fancy Dress

While Queen Rania of Jordan rarely goes without a designer accessory or two, it's her ornate statement gowns that really do the talking. Many of Rania's looks feature embroidery, prints, or embellishments that complement the shape of her jewels and pull her look together. When she stepped out with her family for the Great Arab Revolt Centennial celebration, her outfit followed suit. But it was the deep teal shade of her chiffon piece that turned the spotlight her way.

Clearly she's onto something — at the end of May she chose a romantic cranberry number for Independence Day. So, if we can learn anything from Queen Rania's ways, perhaps it's not that we need just one power color, but plenty. And before we put them on display, we should make sure they complement our skin tone and lend us some glow. But most importantly, that they're unique and luxe. Read on to let the queen show you how it's done.
