Queen Rania has style zipped up! Royal wears the same colourblock dress Zara Phillips once struggled to fit into... but manages to do hers up

Queen Rania looked radiant strolling through the streets of Jordan with the Duchess of Cornwall on Monday.
The elegant Queen Consort of Jordan was wearing a red and taupe pencil dress, pleated at the bust, while accompanying the Duchess and Prince Charles to dinner during their nine day state tour of the Middle East.
And if the dress looked familiar, it is because it was in fact the same dress worn by Zara Phillips in November when she went on a flying visit to the Gold Coast in Queensland.

When it comes to who wore it best - Queen Rania wins hands down.
She teamed her dress with matching court shoes and a wide gold belt for a much more demure look that that seen on the adventurous Zara, 31. When Zara wore the dress, she completed her outfit with a dragonfly motif belt and open-toe T-bar heels.

 

But according to pictures from the occasion, it seems the Queen's granddaughter didn't quite get the dress in the correct size. While it looked loose-fitting and flattering on Queen Rania, Zara's was taut across her hips and chest.
When she turned around, she also revealed that the dress couldn't be zipped all the way up, exposing her red bra - which at least was colour-coordinated.

Queen Rania, whose style has been compared to another British royal, the Duchess of Cambridge, had her dress firmly zipped up when she met Prince Charles and Camilla, who are currently on a nine day state tour of the Middle East.
They were greeted for a private dinner with the King and Queen in Amman, the capital of Jordan, on Monday.
