Queen Rania of Jordan cut a sophisticated figure as she arrived at her New York hotel today.
The royal, 53, looked elegant in a white long-sleeved blouse with silver embellishment, which matched her hoop earrings.
The mother-of-four paired the chic blouse with a black pencil skirt with an asymmetric hem and silver zip.
Finishing off the ensemble, Rania wore some white high heels and a black leather woven handbag.
Rania styled her brown hair in loose waves and opted for her signature brown smokey eye and nude lipstick.
Last month, it was announced that Rania is set to become a grandmother for the first time as her son Prince Hussein is expecting his first child with Princess Rajwa.
‘The Royal Hashemite Court is pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, Crown Prince, and Princess Rajwa Al Hussein, are expecting, with God’s help and grace, their first child, in the summer of this year,’ a statement on the website reads.
‘And the Royal Hashemite Court, congratulating His Majesty King Abdullah II, son of Al Hussein, and Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, on this occasion, to wish Their Royal Highnesses the good offspring a good health.’
The joyous announcement comes after Rajwa’s tragic loss of her father in February – just months after she married into the Jordanian royal family.
Khaled bin Musaed bin Saif bin Abdulaziz Al Saif died at the age of 71.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Prince Hussein shared a picture of him embracing Khaled, who became his ‘beloved’ father-in-law after marrying Princess Rajwa last June.
‘With profound sadness and sorrow, we bid farewell to my beloved father-in-law. We will always remember his kindness, generosity, and integrity. May God bestow mercy upon him and grant us patience and strength,’ he wrote.
Hussein, 29, and high-flying architect Rajwa, 29, were married in June last year at Zahran Palace in Amman.

Following a short service, Abdullah II and Rania hosted a lavish reception at the Al Husseiniya Palace, which was attended by more than 1,700 guests – including the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Rajwa dazzled in a white gown by Lebanese designer Elie Saab, which featured a lengthy train embroidered with flowers, and a sparkling diamond tiara.
Abdullah II and Rania proudly watched as their son was wed during an Islamic ceremony known as a ‘katb ktab’ held in a gazebo and conducted by the Royal Hashemite Court Imam Dr Ahmed Al Khalaileh.
Rajwa was educated in Saudi Arabia before then moving to the US for university.
While living in New York, she studied Architecture at Syracuse University – obtaining her Bachelor of Arts.
During her undergraduate degree, Rajwa flew to Dubai with her class to study the city’s sustainable developments.
Following her graduation, she then went on to study Visual Communications at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles – where reality star Lauren Conrad and fashion designer Monique Lhuillier also studied.
