Jill Biden’s Middle East wardrobe: Regional designers, trusty favourites and trainers – The National

US first lady Jill Biden has been enjoying a tour of the Middle East over the past week, visiting Jordan, Egypt and Morocco – and looking characteristically stylish.

Her trip began in Amman, where she was accompanied by her daughter, Ashley, to attend the wedding of Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa last week. For the occasion, Biden turned to a regional designer, opting for a light purple gown by Lebanese designer Reem Acra. It was not the first time she had sported the look. She previously wore the dress in April during a state dinner at the White House.

For the reception, she changed into a lilac Oscar de la Renta floral crystal embroidered gown, featuring blossoming wisteria beading. She paired the look with a sheer shall in a lighter shade of purple, which she tied around her shoulders.
