He was a royal prince, eldest son of Jordan's King Hussein. She was a polished executive-in-training from a middle-class Palestinian doctor's family. Royal lore has it that the radiant Rania Al-Yassin was considering marriage to another man when she met Jordan's dashing Prince Abdullah, then deputy commander of Jordan's elite special forces, at a dinner party in January 1993. Her plans changed when the stunning 22-year-old Apple Computer employee caught the future king's eye.

"For me, it sounds a bit corny, but it was love at first sight," King Abdullah II would later tell correspondent Christiane Amanpour for a CBS "60 Minutes" profile of his wife, Queen Rania Al-Abdullah. During the same interview, Queen Rania recalled it was intimidating that the handsome military man was the son of one of the Middle East's most powerful men. "But in the end, it was really boy meets girl," she said of their attraction.

After a courtship of just two months, King Hussein approached Rania's father on behalf of his son with a formal request for his daughter's hand in marriage. "It was really quite romantic," Queen Rania recalled of the late king's proposal. King Hussein's mother, Queen Zein, is said to have prophetically told Queen Rania she was destined to be "the diamond" in the reigning Hashemite family. Their June 10 wedding was a glittering affair. At the time, Prince Abdullah was not the nation's crown prince. That title was held by King Hussein's brother, Prince Hassan, for years the assumed heir to the throne. Still, as oldest son of King Hussein's 12 children, his marriage was feted as a grand state occasion.

They say there will always be someone richer, cooler, and younger than you are. This is especially true in New York, where a new influx of youths with impressive lineage, fantastic footwear, and obnoxiously smooth skin arrives in town seemingly every day. And we're not talking about the ones who come via plane, train, automobile, or Chinatown bus. We're talking about the kids who are born here — who burst onto the scene from the bodies of New York's power players (or a surrogate) with a reservation number from a restaurant you will never get into already in their tiny hands. Who start out their lives peeing on Frette linens. Who get their first Prada shoes before they can walk. Who have the power to shut down FAO Schwarz and play out the whole scene from Big whenever they feel like it. Many of them are already household names: Apple, Moses, Suri, and Willow. 

Meet Carolina & Liliana Falcone: Age: 5½ (b. February 2005)
Philip Falcone’s Harbinger Capital may be having a little legal trouble at the moment, and their mom, philanthropist/producer/fashion plate Lisa, is still burning her way through Bergdorf. But with a family fortune estimated at $2.8 billion, it's safe to say young Carolina and Liliana will be able to afford anything their little hearts desire. Carolina and Liliana will grow up more coddled than inbred infantas, and on their 18th birthday they’re to open a treasure trove of designer gowns that’s presently being collected for them (LUCKY THEM!!):

"I bought a dress at Oscar de la Renta that reminds me of Liliana. It’s like a cupcake. I put it in a box with a note telling her all about the night I wore it. When the girls turn 18, I will give them the keys to a storage space. I’m putting all sorts of things in it."

Born at the crossroads of obscene wealth and lippy sass, these little Lass Fauntleroys are sure to cause trouble.

As speculation mounts about the possible designer of Kate Middleton's wedding dress (widely expected to be Bruce Oldfield), designers from across the globe have been sketching their ideas for the future Queen. WWD today published sketches by names like Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino, Missoni, Vera Wang and Jason Wu showing off a wide range of unique designs. Click through each image below to see what they came up with & what they had to say about their creations!

The Pantone Color Institute has narrowed down their list of "Top Colors For 2011" to only one (predicted to be the hottest hue next year): Honeysuckle

No need to tell Blake Lively, Eva Longoria, Julianne Mooreand other celebrities how hot honeysuckle is—they’ve been spotted rocking the pinkish-coral hue on the red carpet all year long.

Honeysuckle is guaranteed to produce a healthy glow when worn by both men and women. It's a striking, eye-catching hue that works well for day and night in women's apparel, accessories and cosmetics, and in men's ties, shirts and sportswear. Add a lively flair to interior spaces with Honeysuckle patterned pillows, bedspreads, small appliances and tabletop accessories. Looking for an inexpensive way to perk up your home? Paint a wall in Honeysuckle for a dynamic burst of energy in the family room, kitchen or hallway.

In what has to be the unsexiest undergarment to ever become available -- a man in Florida is auctioning off a pair that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II ... and they've been in his possession for more than 40 years! The pair of panties came in to the possession of a famous Miami playboy named "Baron" Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi -- or Sepy, as he was known. As the story goes, Sepy got them from a friend after they were left on a private plane when the Queen visited Chile in 1968.

Sepy passed away back in June and now the estate plans on auctioning off this piece of Royal memorabilia. We're told the estate will offer them up to the same auction house that sold Queen Victoria's undies back in 2008, and they hope to get the same price -- around $9,000.

Never one to shy away from a controversial costume, singer/rapper MIA surprised fans when she arrived at the 2010 Spike Scream Awards wearing an Islamic niqab veil and robe that covered her entire body, save for her eyes (done up in bright metallic green eyeshadow) and strappy heel-clad feet.

Perhaps trying to make a statement about the recent burqa ban in France and Muslim-phobia sweeping the nation, MIA's version of the conservative Islamic garment also contained bold and colorful graphics, including a big heart scrawled with the words "I Love You."

LOLL!! Sorry Coco, but you are just NOT working these pants! BIG no-no!
ALL tight-fitting pants for men should be banned worldwide!
