The new Jordanian princess made a fashion statement with a style surprise

The new Princess Rajwa of Jordan is dressed appropriately!

On Thursday, the bride appeared in a surprise second look for the evening reception following her royal wedding to Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan. Rajwa, 29, changed from her white long-sleeved Elie Saab gown to a white ball gown with cap sleeves, a sweetheart neckline and swirling embellishments. While Princess Rajwa kept her delicate diamond tiara and matching earrings from the morning, she wore a chignon and dramatic white opera gloves for the evening party.

Although there were no tiaras at the Islamic wedding ceremony at Zahran Palace, the evening’s celebrations featured the ultimate royal accessory. Queen Rania, the groom’s mother, Kate Middleton, Princess Beatrice and others provided sparklers for the wedding reception at Al Husseiniya Palace.

Over 1,700 guests were welcomed to the palace to celebrate the couple at the post-wedding reception, and the royal Hashemite court pulled out all the stops. The celebrations took place in a courtyard and were highlighted by performances by the national orchestra, local and regional singers, a choir, Jordanian bands and dance groups.

Shortly after the church wedding with 140 guests in a garden pavilion of the Zahran Palace, the royal Hashemite court announced that Rajwa had been officially named a princess.

“A royal decree has been issued to confer the title of Her Royal Highness Princess Rajwa Al Hussein on Miss Rajwa Khalid Alseif on the occasion of her wedding to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein #Jordan,” courtiers said in a opinion.

The wedding took place nine months after Crown Prince Hussein announced his engagement in August 2022. Like many modern couples, Hussein and Rajwa shared the happy news on social media.

“We pray that God grants us his blessings. I am grateful to my dear Jordanian family for their warm support and good wishes,” the prince captioned the Instagram photo, which shows them posing close together and Rajwa’s dazzling diamond ring.
