The royal wedding of Crown Prince Hussein and his bride Saudi architect Rajwa Alsaif took place on Thursday, June 1, and of course, it was a day to remember. Less than three months after Princess Iman's wedding with Jameel Alexander Thermiótis, Queen Rania Al Abdullah has watched yet another of her children tie the knot - and in true style.

The Jordanian royal attended her son’s nuptials alongside her husband King Abdullah II, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Queen Maxima and her daughter, Princess Catharina, and First Lady Jill Biden. Naturally, it was a fashion feast.

The gown, which currently retails online for £450 (down from £675) features tiers of crystal blue ruffle tulle, long embellished sleeves, delicate button fastenings, sheer panels and ruffle-trimmed hems. Princess Kate is also a fan of the statement frock, owning her own version in radiant red.

The wife of Joe Biden wore a lavender-silver silk dress featuring three-quarter-length sleeves complete with embellished pearl detail and a keyhole cut-out. She last wore the garment in April to a State Dinner alongside her president husband.
