Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad Al Thani modeled one of fall’s trendiest hues while attending a state dinner at Buckingham Palace in London on Tuesday. She’s visiting the country with her husband, Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Sheikha Jawaher selected a custom embroidered long-sleeve gown by Jean Paul Gaultier, who is reportedly one of her mother-in-law’s favorite designers. She added on a matching velvet cape, completing her look with jeweled drop earrings, a smokey eye and a rose-mauve lip.
Sheikh Tamim, meanwhile, wore traditional Qatari garb, including a gray thobe, a long tunic-like shirt, as well as a black robe called a bisht.
