Queen Rania, Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa's style highlights from Jeff and Lauren Bezos wedding weekend
Queen Rania stepped out in several eye-catching looks by Italian designers including Fendi and Armani Prive.
For the first day of celebrations on June 26, she wore a light pink sequinned Fendi gown, from the Italian fashion house's 2018 autumn/winter couture collection. She accessorised the shimmering dress with a complementary shawl, white-gold Dior Bois de Rose bracelet and pink Gianvito Rossi pumps.
On day two, she wore a strapless Armani Prive gown. The green, blue and gold striped gown was finished with floral embellishment, and Queen Rania completed her look with a light green shawl, a floral gold necklace and an elegant clutch.
It was not all formal looks for the royal, however. She arrived in the Italian city following the unofficial dress code for arrivals – head-to-toe monochrome – wearing a Veronica Beard T-shirt and Wandler tapered trousers, with Prada quilted platform sandals, a Jacquemus medium Bambola bucket bag and Saint Laurent sunglasses. A second casual look saw the Jordanian queen wear a white Remain cut-out jersey top with a pair of relaxed Alo trousers.
Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa
Queen Rania wasn't the only Jordanian royal in attendance. Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa, along with their young daughter, Princess Iman, were also seen arriving by boat.
Like her mother-in-law, upon arrival, Princess Rajwa opted for a dark outfit, pairing a linen Citizens of Humanity shirt and trouser set with off-white Alexander McQueen tennis shoes, Oliver Peoples sunglasses, and a suede Bottega Veneta Intrecciato shoulder bag.
The couple's daughter, Princess Iman, was dressed in a white daisy-embroidered dress by French infants brand Tartine et Chocolat, with a pair of sandals by British high-street chain Next.
For the first day of formal celebrations, Princess Rajwa wore a gold Tom Ford turtleneck gown with leopard print slingback pumps and a mini handbag by Dolce & Gabbana. She also accessorised the look with a gold belt borrowed from Queen Rania. She previously wore the gold belt to formally announce her engagement to Prince Hussein in 2022.
The following day, she wore a black sequinned gown by Lebanese fashion house Hassidriss. Prince Hussein was dressed for the occasion in a classic black tuxedo.
Princess Iman
Also in attendance was Princess Iman, the eldest daughter of Jordan's King Abdullah II and Queen Rania.
For the first day of celebrations, she wore a light green, draped silk Givenchy gown with a delicate floral pattern.
Sticking to a nature-inspired palette, she wore a green Oscar de la Renta cape-sleeved gown in an olive green hue. The look was completed with a pair of FerriFirenze earrings, which have previously been worn by Queen Rania.
Famous guests at the Bezos wedding
The Jordanian royals were among a long list of famous guests spotted in Venice over the weekend, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, Brian Grazer, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
Between 200 and 250 A-listers from the worlds of entertainment, politics and finance attended the celebration, which was dubbed the 'wedding of the century', and reported to have cost more than $20 million.
Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, arrived in Venice via helicopter on Wednesday and stayed at the luxurious Aman Venice, where rooms overlooking the Grand Canal start at €4,000 ($4,686) a night.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' begins filming with Meryl Streep as fashion's fiercest editor
Fashion's fiercest editor is officially back, and she's not alone. Production has kicked off on The Devil Wears Prada 2, with Oscar-winner Meryl Streep donning Miranda Priestly's icy composure once again. Alongside her are Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, all reprising their iconic roles from the 2006 hit. The sequel, under the banner of Disney's 20th Century Studios, is set to sashay into cinemas on May 1, 2026. The film, still shrouded in stylish secrecy, also welcomes Kenneth Branagh to the high-stakes world of fashion media. Branagh will play Priestly's husband, a new dynamic that promises fresh intrigue to the story. The studio confirmed the news through an Instagram post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 20th Century Studios (@20thcenturystudios) The post was captioned, " The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in production." The 2006 original, based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel, followed aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (Hathaway) as she navigated the world of couture and cruelty under Priestly's command. Now, nearly two decades later, the sequel reportedly sees Miranda grappling with a different challenge: the collapse of the print magazine empire she once ruled. Emily Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, no longer fetches coffee, but has levelled up. As per Variety, she now holds a top role at a luxury conglomerate, one Miranda must court for dwindling advertising dollars. In the cut-throat ballet of modern publishing, tables have turned, and alliances will be tested. Hathaway's Andy Sachs, last seen walking away from Runway, remains a question mark. Her character, now established in traditional journalism, could bring yet another lens to the film's theme of media in transition. Original director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna are back at the helm. Karen Rosenfelt, producer of the original, also rejoins the production.

La Revêche Born in Sardinia, Sara Melis channels Mediterranean romance into every stitch, with signature flower appliqués and ethereal textures that evoke sun-drenched escapes. 'This collection was inspired by the softness of a breeze on warm skin, by the scent of bougainvillea, and the sound of waves,' she says. Favourites? The Vesna swimsuit and Hilal one-piece – both equal parts effortless and unforgettable. Oceanus British designer Hannah Attalah is making a splash with hand-beaded, recycled swimwear that channels '80s glamour. 'Our muse is unapologetically confident and not afraid to be the main character,' she shares. Her top summer picks? The vibrant Arizona Swimsuit with sea creature embroidery, and the fully-sequined Pandora Dress – made to move from poolside to party in a mere moment. Paramidonna With buttery-soft stretch fabrics and body-sculpting cuts, Donika Ancheva is pioneering the new era of inclusive swimwear. 'Our pieces are designed for real women, real curves, and real movement,' she says. From bandeaus in golden hour hues to breezy coverups, this is elevated minimalism with maximum ease, complete with matching styles for your mini-me. Nadia Dafri With a love of ancient artisanry, Nadia Dafri creates modern heirlooms rich in texture and soul. 'Each piece is a passport – crafted to evoke a place, a scent, a memory,' she says. Her embroidered clutches and bucket bags are woven narratives of her summer in Kaş, Turkey – where the sea breeze, blue shutters, and scent of fresh bread spark poetic inspiration. Perfect for those who want their accessories to speak before they do. Isabel Beachwear Rooted in Italian bridalwear, Flavia Isabella Flaminio brings Old World elegance to beachwear. 'I wanted every piece to feel like a scene from a vintage Italian film,' she says. Her sheer kimonos and feminine cuts channel la dolce vita, whether you're lounging in Capri or brunching in Dubai.

Men's fashion week highlights: From Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior to Qasimi's deeply personal show
From relaxed elegance at Prada to Indian influences at Louis Vuitton and the UAE's own Qasimi honouring its founder's legacy with thoughtful, culturally rooted design, we round up the best from the recent men's runway shows in Paris and Milan. Prada At the Deposito at Fondazione Prada in Milan, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons unveiled a collection that marked a clear shift in attitude. Titled A Change of Tone, the show dismantled traditional power dressing, offering a playful, non-conformist take on men's style. The mood was direct yet versatile, celebrating freedom through unexpected pairings. Silhouettes were relaxed, with smart tailoring layered over casual sportswear – think coats over tracksuits or suits eased with sporty zip-ups. Simple cotton trousers paired with crisp white shirts added to the understated charm. Juxtaposed fabrics and textures created depth, while accessories such as pointed rattan hats and subtle jewellery provided finishing touches. Colour was key – primary tones clashed gently with neutrals, gradually softening into pastels paired with navy, brown and grey. Stripes hinted at nautical nostalgia, while utility elements reinforced practicality. Footwear and bags kept things grounded – flip-flops, moccasins, canvas lace-ups, gym bags and backpacks underscored the collection's approachable, laid-back elegance, inviting men to rethink modern dressing. Giorgio Armani For the first time in his remarkable career, Giorgio Armani, 90, was absent from his Milan Fashion Week show, recuperating at home from an undisclosed illness. Yet, his presence was felt in a collection that embodied the relaxed sophistication and timeless elegance synonymous with his house. The runway featured pairs of models (male and female), styled in harmonised looks that subtly blurred gender lines. Soft tailoring, layered knits and airy fabrics created silhouettes that flowed gently, offering lightness and ease. Wide-leg trousers, supple leather, silks and fine cottons underscored the collection's fluid charm. Influences of city and seaside, East and West, combined seamlessly. Subtle checks, abstract sketches and watercolour prints added depth. The palette balanced soft greys with purples and blues, cream with gold and warm desert tones with aquamarine. Suits worn with flip-flops reflected effortless transitions between business and leisure. Accessories echoed the laid-back charm – knotted belts, raffia caps and large fabric bags. Closing the show, Leo Dell'Orco, Armani's trusted head of menswear, paid tribute to a designer whose vision continues to define understated luxury. Qasimi Marking its 10th anniversary, Qasimi debuted its spring/summer 2026 collection in Milan with a deeply reflective presentation. The London-based label, founded by the late Sheikh Khalid Al Qasimi and now helmed by his twin sister Sheikha Hoor Al Qasimi, continues to embody a rich dialogue between its UAE heritage and its base in the UK. The collection explored this dual identity, offering garments that speak to cross-cultural exchange and shared histories. Staying true to the brand's core, the collection was defined by clean lines, oversized silhouettes and a palette of neutral and sandy tones. Long tops and jackets layered over wide trousers created fluid, effortless shapes. Utility-inspired details, including abundant pockets, pleats and zips offered functionality and versatility. Memory nylon – a fabric that records creases that gradually fade – became a striking symbol of lived experience, once again nodding to the very personal influences on this collection. Blazers with zip detailing and multi-functional pieces echoed the balance between smart and casual dressing, while a collaboration with Lebanese artist Dala Nasser added further depth, with raw edges, loose threads and doodle-like embroidery evoking traces of place and memory. The collection felt like a wearable reflection of legacy, adaptability and modern Arab identity. Dior Jonathan Anderson's highly anticipated debut for Dior marked a bold new chapter, as he reinterpreted the house's codes with imaginative flair for the men's spring/summer 2026 collection. Anderson approached the collection as a modern fairytale – romantic yet informed. Capes, tailored waistcoats and Bar jackets with nipped-in waists paid homage to Dior's storied past, while denim shorts, relaxed socks and sandals added a casual, youthful twist. Cable knits and long coats echoed the house's womenswear signatures, blending tradition with fresh energy. There was a sense of dressing up to become a character, with ties, bow ties and 18th and 19th-century-inspired waistcoats anchoring the narrative. Anderson's own design language overlapped subtly with Dior's, creating a dialogue between aristocratic elegance and modern spontaneity. The colour palette spanned soft neutrals to vibrant greens, pinks and blues. Thoughtful details – rococo-inspired Diorette charms, delicate rose embroideries and playful tailoring – ensured Monsieur Dior's romantic spirit remained central, as Anderson recoded the house's language with informed creativity. Louis Vuitton Presented at Paris's Centre Pompidou on a striking show space by Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai - a life-size tribute to the ancient Indian board game Snakes and Ladders - Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2026 menswear was a tribute to modern Indian sartorialism, explored through the Louis Vuitton lens. With an offering that felt more grown-up than recent seasons, Pharrell Williams delivered smarter dressing without losing the edgy twist that has defined his tenure so far. The collection blended rich material, colours, and craftsmanship rooted in Indian culture. Tailoring took centre stage, with L.V.M monograms adorning blazers that hinted at a more serious, elevated take on suiting. The palette - navy, brown, burgundy, khaki, pink - drew inspiration from Indian landscapes and vibrant sunsets. Denim, cable knits, pyjama stripes, and polo shirts combined preppy and street style. Shell jackets, fleece blousons, and hiking boots nod to Indian mountaineering culture, elevated with heritage patterns, hand-embroidered stones, micro-beads, and lace. The Darjeeling Limited motif, which was created by Louis Vuitton for the film of the same name in 2007, was included in a collection for the first time, presented on garments and bags, merging travel, cinema, and craftsmanship.
