I like her, good she doesn't feel the need to wear a head-covering in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia but that pink jacket? It also looks a bit too big for her.  She, imo, usually looks pretty good. She might have had jet lag or something, maybe she's a bit tired, it's also been a hard last 8 days on the world.

neither of them seem very happy in that picture. BTW, is being awarded the sash an honor or an insult? If he gave such an honor to a female in a country where females have no rights, is that a good sign? Will it cause revolution?

[TomSea]

It must be honorary.

People have reservations about Saudi Arabia but all in all, the higher-ups there seem to treat their counterpart leaders fairly well.
