Princess Sheikha Mahra of the United Arab Emirates is passionately fond of horses and frequents the Meydan Racecourse clad at times in conservative dark or pastel hues . The Dubai World Cup enabled the Emirati royal daughter an opportunity to present her fashion statement to the world adorned in a pale traditional Arab dress bedecked by embellishments and subtle embroidery . The regal demeanor was accompanied by matte makeup , widely flowing locks and images of her caressing the mane of her beloved stallion and was was enough to whip up a fashion frenzy amongst Arab women who are now digitally connected to fashion trends.
