Queen Rania of Jordan is no stranger to bold fashion choices. Still, her latest ensemble might be my favorite to date. 

The 54-year-old royal recently hosted a special banquet in Madaba and wore an eye-catching dress in a surprising hue: pistachio green. Queen Rania stunned in the flattering outfit, which featured balloon-like sleeves and a modest neckline. 

According to Marina Thomas (a personal stylist and consultant who specializes in color analysis), the color of Queen Rania’s outfit holds a special meaning.  “This lime/pistachio green's symbolism comes from the two colours—green and yellow—that create this vivacious shade,” she told Hello! magazine.

Thomas continued, “Green symbolises harmony and balance, while yellow provokes feelings of optimism and joy. These colours come together in this rich yet muted tone of green, portraying Queen Rania’s potential feelings of compassion and her desire to express harmony and promote ideas of new beginnings.”

Based on this information, it seems the color aligns with Queen Rania’s future goals. Not only has she ramped up on public appearances, but she’s also embraced her new role as a grandmother. Plus, the royal is known for taking risks with her style, so pistachio green is just another notch in her belt.

The stylist added, “Perhaps, in choosing to wear this colour, she seeks to evoke emotional responses and promote feelings of optimism and hope in those around her.”

Who knew pistachio green could hold so much meaning.
