Brunei’s Princess Anisha Rosnah wore Zuhair Murad gown at wedding reception

DUBAI: It has been revealed that Princess Yang Mulia Anisha Rosnah of Brunei wore a gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad at the wedding reception after she wed Prince Abdul Mateen in a lavish 10-day ceremony that concluded this week.

On Sunday, Mateen, 32, and Yang Mulia Anisha Rosnah, 29, made their first public appearance as a married couple in a procession through the normally sleepy capital Bandar Seri Begawan that drew thousands of onlookers. The procession followed a wedding ceremony in which the bride showed off a Dior ensemble.

The 10-day wedding then saw the newly minted princess don a Zuhair Murad gown for the ensuing wedding reception. The bridal dress featured embroidered floral motifs, crystal details, and a veil.

“During the Royal Wedding of Prince Abdul Mateen of Brunei, the bride wore a custom Zuhair Murad gown in celebration of the special occasion. The House wishes luck and happiness to the beautiful couple,” the label posted on Instagram on Wednesday.

The popular prince was Asia’s most eligible bachelor until Thursday when he officially tied the knot with Anisha Rosnah, who is from a prominent family in Brunei.

Mateen’s father is Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the world’s longest reigning monarch and once the richest man on the planet.
