The era of Maharajas and Kings and Queens is gone. But back in the days when cinema had not entered the lives of normal people, the kings and queens and prince and princesses used to be a huge inspiration for fashion. A lot of our royal queens and princesses have been known to have the best taste in fashion. Here are 5 Queens or Princesses of India that redefined fashion for the public.
1. Maharani Gayatri Devi
There is no two ways about it. Even Vogue had declared her the most beautiful woman in the world. Princess Gayatri Devi of Coochbehar, also known as Maharani Gayatri Devi, wed and became the wife of Sawai Man Singh II, the Maharaja of Jaipur. She was renowned all over the world for her stunning good looks and was regarded as one of the most beautiful ladies to ever live in India. Her French chiffon sarees were and still are a rage in the fashion circles. Aside from that, her immaculate sense of style was another thing that drew a lot of people’s attention.
2. Maharani Sita Devi of Kapurthala
Princess Sita Devi, better known as Princess Karam and the Pearl of India, passed away on September 30, 2002. She was the wife of Prince Karamjit Singh, the younger son of King Jagatjit Singh I of Kapurthala in Punjab, British India. Princess Sita Devi was born on September 30, 1915. Her efforts to raise money for Indian soldiers serving in World War II earned her the Empire of India Medal in 1944. This recognition was given to her for her efforts. She was widely regarded as one of the most glamorous women of her day. Rani Sita Devi of Kapurthala is justifiably regarded as one of India’s most glamorous royals in the history of the country. When she was only 19 years old, a fashion magazine referred to her as a “Secular Goddess.” Today, she is remembered as one of India’s most attractive royals. After a period of three years, she was included among the top five best dressed women on the planet by the most influential fashion magazines in the world.
3. Maharani Sita Devi of Baroda
The title of Maharani of the Royal Family of Baroda was held by Queen Sita Devi. She was famous for her enticing looks, and her beauty was a matter of debate not only in India but also in Europe. Her beauty was a topic of discussion not only in India but also in Europe. Because of her exquisite taste in clothing and accessories, she became known as “Indian Wallis Simpson.” In 1943, she wed the Raja Pratap Singh Gaekwad of Baroda, who she had previously served as the princess of Pithapuram.
4. Maharani Indira Devi of Cooch Behar
Indira Devi was born as Indira Raje on 19 February 1892 to Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad and Maharani Chimna Raje Gaikwad. Her father was the Maharaja (ruler) of Baroda State (present-day Gujarat in India) from 1875 to 1939. She was the only daughter of her parents, and because of their advanced views on education, she was the first Indian princess to go to school and college. She was the Maharani of the princely state of Cooch Behar in British India. She had got widowed only after 9 years of marriage but she refused to live an austere life. She enjoyed her life to the fullest with the best clothes and jewels. Her parties were well known for their grandeur. For those who do not know, she was the mother of Maharani Gayatri Devi.
5. Princess Niloufer Farhat Begum Sahiba
The Princess Niloufer Khanum of the Khanum Sultan Farhat Begum Sahiba, also known as the Kohinoor of Hyderabad, was an Ottoman princess. She was given the nickname “the Kohinoor of Hyderabad.” She was the first wife of Moazzam Jah, the second son of Mir Osman Ali Khan, the last Nizam of Hyderabad in India. Moazzam Jah was the ruler of Hyderabad at the time. Princess Niloufer was a defiant young woman who, although being married at the age of 16, was adamant that she should be allowed to follow her own sense of style. She reimagined the Indian sari by fusing elements of eastern and western cultures, and as a result, the patterns of our traditional saris took on a more western appearance. She could make anyone swoon over her elegance with her intricately embroidered saris and ornate neckpieces, as well as her curly bob cut hairstyle. In gowns and off-the-shoulder outfits, she also looked very stunning.
