Princess Rajwa and Princess Salma of Jordan prove that modern royal dressing can be trendy, timeless and deeply personal. While Princess Rajwa favours tailored silhouettes, natural hues and refined neutrals, Princess Salma takes a more understated approach, turning to monochrome, darker tones and effortlessly elegant looks.

The two royal sisters-in-law recently stepped out for separate official engagements. Princess Rajwa joined her husband for a special engagement in Amman, and Princess Salma joined her father, King Abdullah of Jordan, and her brother, Prince Hashem, on the king’s official visit to China.

Crown Prince Al Hussein and Princess Rajwa received the top-performing Tawjihi achievers for the 2025–2026 academic year on Tuesday at Basman Palace. The royal couple warmly congratulated the students on their success.

In Shanghai, Princess Salma had a busy schedule, joining her father, King Abdullah II, on the first day of his state visit to China. The Princess visited robotics company AgiBot before joining a meeting with CEOs of leading Chinese companies to discuss opportunities for economic cooperation and the exchange of expertise.

Here is How Princess Rajwa and Princess Salma Approach Modern Royal Dressing

When it comes to official engagements, Princess Rajwa favours structure above all. Her wardrobe is defined by architectural silhouettes and a monochromatic palette of crisp whites, slate greys and soft neutrals, creating a polished aesthetic that feels both modern and distinctly regal.

But while her colour palette remains restrained, her styling is anything but predictable. Metallic accents, sculptural bags and unexpected ear stacks introduce a playful edge to her otherwise polished looks.

Princess Salma, the younger daughter of Queen Rania, makes fewer public appearances, but when she does step out, her official looks are refined and elegant. Monochromatic dressing is her signature; think black dresses, tailored coats and sleek suiting, all worn with a quiet confidence.

Princess Salma tends to favour darker tones. However, vibrant and daring colours are not absent from her wardrobe; they simply appear on her terms. From the vibrant fuchsia midi dress she wore to her sister’s wedding to the sky-blue silk gown chosen for her brother’s wedding, she knows when to introduce colour, and when she does, she does so boldly.

As their public presence grows, one thing is already clear: Princess Rajwa and Princess Salma each bring a fresh perspective to modern royal dressing, making their individual approaches to fashion all the more interesting to watch.
