Rabat – The American website “Richest Lifestyle”, dedicated to the celebrities lifestyles and rich people around the globe, released its 2014 list of World’s Most Beautiful First Ladies last week. Princess Lalla Salma, consort of Mohamed VI, king of Morocco, was ranked third on the list.
Behind only by Queen Rania of Jordan and Asma al-Assad, wife of Bashar Al Assad of Syria, the Moroccan first lady ranked ahead of several world first ladies, including Michelle Obama, who frequently makes headlines for her beauty and fashion choices since her husband became the President of United States.
The Moroccan princess has topped the list of 2014 ten Most Beautiful First Ladies in Africa, released by the same source.
Lalla Salma and Sylvia Bongo Ondimba, wife of Gabonese president Ali Bongo Ondimba, who ranked 7, are the only first ladies from Africa who made it on the list of world’s most beautiful First Ladies.
In addition to her stunning elegance, the Moroccan first lady is involved in many philanthropic activities in the Kingdom and abroad, especially in the fight against cancer.
Driven by humanitarian motives, Lalla Salma founded the “Lalla Salma Foundation – Prevention and Treatment of Cancers” in 2005, which is working to prevent and treat cancer.
In a poll organized by the Washington-based Radio Sawa on the occasion of International Women’s Day this year, the Princess was chosen “most inspiring woman” for Arabs.
In May 2013, she was selected by UK’s magazine the most elegant woman attending the coronation ceremony of the new Dutch King, Willem-Alexander, after his mother Queen Beatrix abdicated the throne.
