Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser has repeatedly proven to be the epitome of grace and elegance in sartorial form. The Qatari royal serves as the driving force for social and educational reforms in Qatar whilst also serving looks, making her quintessentially a style icon and a dedicated philanthropist.
In 2015, the Sheikha managed to reserve a spot in the Hall of Fame category after being granted the title of best-dressed on the International Best-Dressed List for three consecutive years. This category also featured women like Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco, Princess Diana of Wales, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy, who were all revered in fashion. Not to forget, she is also the Honorary Chair of Fashion Trust Arabia and has dedicated her time to promoting regional designers.
Valentino
We’re currently taking notes from Sheikha Moza on how to incorporate statement jewellery into our outfits. Right off the bat, the first thing that captures the eye is her ornate jewellery from David Webb that seems to take centre stage over her navy blue tailored outfit from the royal’s most cherished luxury brand, Valentino. She donned this elegant ensemble to the Dutch King, Willem Alexander’s coronation in 2013, proving that no matter what year it is, her discerning eye picks out timeless fashion staples.
Christian Dior
Truly a vision to behold. The Qatar royal for this instance had channelled old Hollywood glamour, think Grace Kelly. Her Highness pulled off all shades of grey in this Dior attire. For an official state visit to Britain, she wore a grey jacket embossed with a textural pattern and a plain skirt of a similar tone. She added a dark-hued fur shawl as well as a pair of grey gloves to compliment her look. Sheikha Moza has managed to pioneer modest fashion tastefully and continues to do so at every event.
Ronald Vanderkemp
For her visit to the state of New York, Her Highness wore a green Ronald Vanderkemp dress from the designer’s 2018 haute couture show. The Sheikha has donned the colour green on multiple occasions, yet each look has variably looked more captivating than the other. Despite being monochromatic the garment includes details that make it stand out. It features a high neckline with a distinctive cuff and pleated skirt adding to the charm of the silky green fabric. Sheikha Moza added a pair of contrasting gold pumps and wore no jewellery as a means to let the outfit have its moment.
Giambattista Valli
Sheikha Moza is one to shy away from a little textural moment. Her visit to London consisted of her wearing an all-white ensemble showcasing some playful textures from Italian designer Giambattista Valli. Once again, she shows us that if your outfit is statement enough, there’s no need to accessorize with more jewellery apart from a pair of simple earrings. To finish her look, she had elegantly applied a minimal amount of make-up and chose to carry a Chanel Croc bag in white.
Chanel
Sheikha Moza took the moment to revel in the late visionary designer, Karl Lagerfeld’s work on this occasion. She stunned the crowds while she dressed head to toe in Chanel. Time and time again the stylish royal has claimed her rightful place as best-dressed with her timeless yet trendy outfits. For a royal gala dinner at the Palace of Madrid, she wore a beautiful white dress adorned with sequins and a similar cape with a collar and a pink bow gracing the garment. This makes us wonder, could the Sheikha have predicted the viral TikTok bow trend nearly 12 years ago?
Stéphane Rolland
French designer, Stéphane Rolland once described that Sheikha Moza “came across like a Fifties movie star. Sheikha Moza is the Arab world’s answer to Ava Gardner.” In fact, many known and celebrated individuals in the fashion industry had something similar to say about this royal. During her visit to London for the inaugural of the Quranic Garden Exhibition in 2010, Sheikha Moza wore an embroidered grey flannel dress along with some grey pumps and a chic pair of sunglasses.
Armani Privé
Being the Honorary Chair of the Fashion Trust Arabia, Sheikha Moza takes it upon herself to leave the crowd in awe. For an evening with Fashion Trust Arabia, the royal donned a sequined dress with floral motifs from Armani Privé’s Fall 2022 haute couture collection. To complete her look she wore a baby blue hijab and a bright shade of lipstick to match the colours of the prints.
Julien Fournié
Velvet for centuries has been deemed as the symbol of royalty and no one pulls off a royal velvet look better than this royal. During her visit to Tunisia in 2017, the queen wore an extravagant outfit from the famed French designer, Julien Fournié. The floor-grazing gown featured an A-line draped silhouette and a royal shade of deep red. She sported gold accented jewellery and a clutch that enhanced the attire.
Jean Paul Gaultier
On one too many occasions, we’ve spotted the Queen wearing the unconventional French couturier’s designs. For a visit to the World Bank in 2008, Sheikha Moza donned a periwinkle-tailored suit with some layered ornate necklaces peaking through. Her soft glam and bold eyeliner add a nice finishing touch to the look.
