Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan looked stunning in a floral pink dress when she attended a graduation ceremony at The International Academy – Amman on Tuesday.
The striking royal wore a beautiful lace dress in pale pink by Italian fashion brand Dolce and Gabbana for the ceremony.
She customised the fitted, long-sleeved number with a slim silver waist belt with a gold clasp.
Queen Rania, 52, often praised for her impeccable taste, paired the flounce-hem, knee-length dress with Dior’s elegant rose gold and blush mesh pointed toe pumps.
The fresh and summery outfit was complimented by her Dolce and Gabbana ‘Sicily’ small tote bag in a pale grey.
Queen Rania’s jewellery was elegant while original, especially her striking pink ‘1919’ ring by Lebanese designer Ralph Masri.
The mother-of-four, who founded the International Academy – Amman in 2004, wore her highlighted hair loose and kept her make-up natural for the important occasion.
In an open letter on the school’s website, Queen Rania explains hat when she opened the school almost two decades ago ‘it put forward a bold and optimistic mission: instilling a lifelong love of learning in its students, and arming them with the curiosity, compassion, and confidence to become the leaders of tomorrow.’
She writes: ‘We aimed to foster a new generation of global citizens, able to serve as agents of change without ever losing sight of their roots.’
In a moving speech at the school’s 2013 graduation ceremony, Queen Rania encouraged students not to be ‘trapped by other people’s borders and boundaries – by their beliefs and biases.’
She added: ‘You have to walk away from the familiar. Take the un-trodden path. Find a third way between left and right. Even take a few missteps, stumble, and fall!’
The graduation ceremony at the independent, co-educational day school comes soon after her own youngest son’s high school graduation in May.
There, she looked excited and happy to celebrate the achievements of Prince Hashem bin Abdullah who attended King’s Academy, a boarding school in Madaba.
Queen Rania attended the graduation with her husband, King Abdullah II, Princess Iman and her husband Jameel Alexander Thermiotis, along with Princess Salma and Crown Prince Hussein.
The Queen captioned her Instagram post: ‘Guys, can we slow down a bit? This mum needs to catch her breath! ‘Another proud family moment at Hashem’s high school graduation today.’
Recently, the family have had a lot to celebrate, with Rania’s eldest son Crown Prince Hussein marrying architect Rajwa Al Saif on June 1.
