you're welcome testinofan I had no idea the shoot was done by Mario Testino

Here are just a few more

I agree she's beautiful, and I think there is some substance there, but there is no doubt but what there's been surgical invention with the nose. I inherited my father's nose, and no amount of grooming, growing into my skin, or makeup artistry has changed its shape.

I read Queen Noor's autobiography, and I was quite struck by the difference between the royal lifestyle and the average Jordanian woman's lifestyle--just from reading the royal's account (never mind what the average woman would say). It is pretty obscene ...

 

[impossibleprincess]

Oh God yes, she has definitely had a nose job. Trust me, a lot of rich Arabs go to Switzerland to get it done. A lot of the Saudi Royals do.

I'm just intrigued by her as Middle Eastern royalty is on the whole, pretty secretive. Even in Dubai, which is very liberal by Muslim standards, I have never, ever seen a female member of the Dubaian Royal family, and only a few of the male members, and towards the end of the Kings life, we never ever saw new pics of him only ones from years ago, so it's interesting to see candids of her.

 

[fashionista-ta]

Btw, that last pic in 61 seems like a poor choice ... looks like blood on her dress. Not a thought you would think they'd want to put into anyone's head ...

What bothers me is how Queen Noor seems to have been shunted to the side the moment her husband died ... it certainly doesn't have to be that way ... look at the Queen Mum. We saw lots of her for many, many years.

yes she is org. Palestinian and grew up in Kuwait. so she is 100 % Arab . You can tell from her gorgeous eyes!!

Oh thanks for the info!!

I was just curious as she has very white skin. Arabs have a darker skin tone right? (BTW what is org? )

I'm very surprised that she can get away with wearing clothes like that. I know she is modestly dressed but Muslim women have to be covered..head to toe (not the face). I suppose the Jordanian royal family are not very strict....I don't think this would be allowed if she was part of the Saudi royal family.......

Does anyone know what tradiational Arabic clothes are for women?

The skin color of Arabs varies from one person to the other. There isn't a "typical" Arab. "Org" means originally.

I'm not sure I understood your last question, can you maybe clarify?

Maybe just internationally-in Jordan itself, she may still be pretty prominent. And she has written a book-I was reading it today. Has a very cute pic of Rania, Abdullah, Hussein and Rania's son when he was a toddler in it.

Just as there are huge variations in the Christian community wrt dress (from the Amish to Janet Jackson, who was raised anyhow Jehovah's Witness) ... the Muslim community is no different. Jordan is known for being liberal.

As far as skintone, think about the range you see in people with African heritage ... everything from blue-eyed fair to very dark skin. Arabs are no different--there's quite a range.

 

[vikingqueen]

definitly, muslim women's clothing differs according to their own choices or expectations - i wear a headscarf sometimes, and generally dress fairly modestly, but i definitly don't cover "head-to-toe"...., but then my sister-in-law wears like long skirts, etc. it varies so much, especially in the Canadian community, and i love that...

it depends weather she's muslim or not.. in saudi arabia and gulf countries women usualy wear the tradiational (abaya) which is like a black long coat with a scarf.. some of them cover thier faces but most of them don't.. but other arab countries women just wear whatever they want .. but if she's muslim she'd have to cover her hair and wear a decent outfit ..

 

[Plastic'sWife]

^ so then she is Muslim?

 

[G86]

yes i think so!

 

[G86]

some muslims just don't cover the hair.. there's an order to do so but u know .. some of them just don't.

As in, what do Arab women wear?

 

[missy-t1]

some muslims just don't cover the hair.. there's an order to do so but u know .. some of them just don't.

but living in a 'Muslim country' she would have to wear a headscarf. But that's not what I was getting at before. She wears skirts and shows alot of skin...I'm just surprised the whole Muslim nation hasn't been in an uproar.


Plastic Girl's Wife: yes she is Muslim

 

[G86]

she doesn't show alot of skin.. she's decent and that's what a normal Jordanian women would probably wear .. some muslims (living in a muslim county) even wear more revealing cloths.. muslims are not that uptight
