For the occasion, Catherine, Princess of Wales, wore a blush-pink gown by Lebanese designer Elie Saab, also the designer behind the bride's striking wrap-effect wedding dress. She paired it with a gold clutch from Wilbur & Gussie.

The design, which features long fluted sleeves and a flowing skirt, is the second piece the princess has worn by the designer in recent months.

Last month, the Princess of Wales wore a cornflower blue dress to attend the Buckingham Palace Garden Party, as part of King Charles III's coronation festivities. The dress featured sheer panelling, intricate bead and lace work and a pussy-bow necktie, and was topped off with an elegant Philip Treacy hat in a matching shade.

The occasion was the dress's second outing for the princess – she previously wore it to a Royal Ascot race day in 2019.

Queen Rania wore a black gown by Dior for the wedding. The design featured golden floral embroidery and is from the brand's autumn/winter 2022 couture collection.

The queen's outfit was completed with a co-ordinated clutch bag and golden accessories. She wore her hair in an elegant updo.
