منتخبی از عکسهای زیبا از شهبانو که همیشه تو پوشش خودشون فوق العاده و منحصر به فرد بودن پ.ن: براشون آرزوی سلامتی و تندرستی دارم👼👑💚❤ @shahbanou_farah_pahlavi Empress Farah Pahlavi (née Diba) of Iran on her coronation in 1961.⠀ ⠀ Farah had a great deal of influence with her husband, Mohammad Reza. Before her marriage to the Shah in 1959, the highest women at court was Reza’s twin sister, Princess Ashraf. Princess Ashraf came to see Farah as a rival. It was the rivalry with Princess Ashraf that led Farah to press her husband into reducing her influence at the Court. Farah’s significance was exemplified by her part in the 1967 Coronation Ceremonies, where she was crowned as the first shahbanu (empress) of modern Iran. It was again confirmed when the Shah named her as the official regent should he die or be incapacitated before the Crown Prince's 21st birthday. The naming of a woman as regent was highly unusual for a Middle Eastern or Muslim monarchy.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The great wealth generated by Iran's oil encouraged a sense of Iranian nationalism at the Imperial Court. The Empress Farah recalled of her days as a university student in 1950s France about being asked where she was from: “When I told them Iran ... the Europeans would recoil in horror as if Iranians were barbarians and loathsome. But after Iran became wealthy under the Shah in the 1970s, Iranians were courted everywhere. Yes, Your Majesty. Of course, Your Majesty. If you please, Your Majesty. Fawning all over us. Greedy sycophants. Then they loved Iranians.” #farahpahlavi #farahdiba #iran #empress #empressfarah #queenofiran #empressofiran #iranroyalfamily #iranianroyalfamily #shahbanou #shahbanou_farah_pahlavi #jewelry #tiara #crown #pahlavi #royalfamily #queen #queenofhearts #classic #vintage #vintageclothing #vintageclothing #vintagefashion #vintagestyle #fashion #style #royaljewellery #dress #dresses (at Tehran, Iran) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buton_bAq7H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13ll6xhnb3tgp
