Her Highness Sayyida Al Jalila Ahad bint Abdullah Al Busaidiyah, wife of the Sultan of Oman, stepped out yesterday in Salalah, visiting the Omani Women’s Association in an elegant grey-toned abaya by Omani label Bthaina.

Sayyida Al Jalila is famously known for championing Omani talent through her wardrobe. For the occasion, she chose an embroidered abaya by Omani designer Buthaina Al Zadjali, founder of Buthaina, celebrating the fine artistry of Omani craftsmanship.

She paired the look with traditional statement jewellery, including a traditional choker and matching bangles, alongside a limited-edition beige Marfa Swift leather Shadow Birkin Cut. And who said royals can’t be playful? Sayyida Al Jalila added a vibrant touch with striking red nails.

Sayyida Al Jalila’s visit comes as part of her ongoing commitment to supporting the contributions of Omani women to the nation’s development and community work.

During her visit, Her Highness toured the association’s facilities and explored the role of women’s institutions in the Dhofar Governorate. She also visited a heritage house showcasing symbols of Omani tradition, traditional crafts and handmade products created by local women, highlighting the richness of the governorate’s cultural heritage.

This is a fashion formula that Sayyida Al Jalila Ahad has become known for. Over the years, the Omani royal has blended modern and traditional looks with exquisite jewellery, making her a true ambassador of her country’s culture and heritage. Whether welcoming international delegations or attending official engagements, Sayyida Al Jalila consistently embraces traditional abayas, mixing them with modern pieces that feel both regal and elegant, while maintaining her conservative style.
