At 59, Queen Noor looks pretty youthful. She was always elegant looking and managed to keep her skin in great condition.

I didn't know who she was, but that's the youngest 59 yr old I've seen. I would believe it if you told me she was 40-45.

Looks like she practices sun avoidance which can't be an easy feat in Jordan.

Here is Jordan's *other* queen, Queen Rania. This pic is from 2008. I believe she is 39 now. Both are gorgeous.

Both the Queens have kept themselves up - to the "standards" of Jordan - LOL - The reason I say this is that I had a wonderful Jordanian roommate who had lived most of her life in the US (she came here at 2) and would go back to Jordan to visit - and was always glad when she returned to the US - she hated always having to "dress up" even to go grocery shopping - she said that most of the women were very superficial and obsessed with looking perfect all the time - this also brought out the competition amongst them and so she did not have any close Jordanian friends there - I know a lot of Europeans and they always make fun of us Americans for being "slobs" in the way we dress - but I love the freedom in dressing in this country - you don't have to worry about what to wear when you go to Shaws Supermarket - right MissJ? No Fashion Police scrutinizes you to see if you have committed a faux pax - We have other more profound things to worry about - and of course if you want to dress up then you can - but to have the "burden" of always making sure your purse and shoes match and having every hair in place is exhausting and also boring after a while - More power to Dressed Down Americans - Its a great country - LOL

We went to Jordan quite a few years ago as guests of the government and although a wonderful experience (especially racing the military on horseback down to Petra!) I had to dress up in suits, stockings etc. the whole time even though it was really hot. They were very formal then.I did not mind it for a while as Jordan is such a fascinating place.I can imagine having to dress like that all the time would be very tedious.

Not sure if it's the entire "country". Not like that in NYC for example. BUT in CAMBRIDGE where we are, a well dressed female with makeup looks like a GUY IN DRAG around here.

She went to Concord Academy. I've seen her years back in Concord. When she comes here, it's usually for some Concord Academy function. She stays at the Colonial Inn. In fact, her photo is in the sitting room at the Inn.

that's true. it's almost not socially correct to look glamourous in cambridge. but the amount of interesting people who live there make up for the lack of glamour.

Ya--I never see anyone dressed up around here. Even that actress we saw in Harvard square a few years ago was dressed down.

Excuse me MissJ - you have seen me dressed up and with full makeup a couple of times and I don't think I ever give that impression to anyone - LOL - But Cambridge does have a bohemian flavor - we may dress up - but not with an every hair in place look - Thank God - I would totally HATE to live in a place where you have to put on makeup to go to CVS -

I'm a big fan fan of women being casual and dressed down most of the time. this way, when a woman does dress-up, it's like 'Wow'. there's a transformation and it's special. if you're always in full makeup and red carpet ready, it's not special. grooming and styling looks best when you're dressed appropriate for the occasion. otherwise it comes across as trying to impress. for example, i see mothers of multiples here in nyc, dressed to nines, looking totally glamourous. this is in the middle of the day, with the NANNY pushing the stroller. it just doesn't look right. it looks phony. i'm a fan of looking effortless. looking effortless usually happens when you're authentic. at the cocktail party later that night, they look exactly the same. it's not special, there's no transformation or 'wow' factor.

It's kind of an old fashioned way of living, the ladies who lunch etc. But when you reach that kind of an income level it becomes possible to be like that so some do.
