Princess Iman looked a little shy on the red carpet, but she looked lovely in a champagne-colored dress and white cardigan. Queen Rania, as usual, was stunning in a salmon-hued sleeveless number.
The Jordanian royals met Daniel Craig, who plays James Bond of course, Bond girl Olga Kurylenko and Mathieu Amalric.
