"The Valide Sultan’s seat of authority was often placed near the window or in a prominent corner of her chamber, where light illuminated her figure, further emphasizing her elevated status as the mother of the Sultan and the head of the imperial household." - Ottoman Women in Public Space, Madeline C. Zilfi

November November & December are Minor Ladies Months!

For the month of November, fymagnificentwomen would like to spotlight some of the less-celebrated women of Muhteşem Yüzyıl and Kösem, encouraging content that features characters with minor, guest, or supporting roles in the drama.

Who qualifies as a minor female character? For the sake of clarity, we’ll define minor ladies as those who are either not titled ‘Sultan’, or those who are but not listed in or directly after the opening credits. (An incomplete list of characters may be found below; questions concerning eligibility may be directed to the askbox).

Below is the list of some characters that you may use (for inspiration):

Sultanas and Imperial Mothers: Ayşe Hümaşah, Ayşe [mother of Nergisşah], Beyhan, Esmahan, Fatma, Nazenin, Nergisşah, Rana; Ayşe [daughter of Kösem], Fatma [daughter of Kösem], Hanzade, Hatice Muazzez, Kaya, Saliha Dilaşub.

Cariyes and Favorites: Ahsen, Ayşe [season 1], Cihan, Dilşah, Efsun, Elif, Esma, Firuze, Gülbahar (Olivia), Gülezar, Gülnihal, Helena, Nadia, Nazlı, Nilüfer, Nurbahar, Olga, Rümeysa, Sadika; Afitap, Elanur, Eycan, Firdevs, Gülbahar’s Girl Squad, Katerina, Mahfiruz, Nihan, Sanavber, Şayeste, Şivekar, Yasemin.

Palace Staff: Afife, Canfeda, Daye, Fahriye (Diana), Fidan, Gülfem, Gülşah, Gülşan, Melek, Nigar, Rakel; Cennet, Dudu, Ester Kira, Gölge, Lalezar, Madame Marguerite, Meleki, Menekşe, Narin.

Beyond the Palace: Anna Jagiellon, Armin, Aybige, Cehver, Eftalya, Elenika, Esmanur, Gabriela Sfenzi de Feo, Gracia Mendes Nasi, Isabella Fortuna, Isabella Sforza Szapolyai, Monica Gritti, Rita, Saliha, Silvia, Zeynep; Akile, Catherine of Brandenburg, Falcı, Kalika.

Content featuring relationships with major female or male characters is welcome, permitting there is equal focus on the minor character.

Finally, don’t forget to use the tag #minorladiesmonth to share your creations as part of this month’s event!

On the topic of costumes. Are there any clothes you were sad that were only shown oncw! I have one mahidevran outfit kaftan i think was only shown once in one ep.

Ooh I'd really like to see which one you mean! And yep I have some:

This beautiful coat that's only shown once and for way too little time to my liking

I don't know if Hurrem or someone else rewears these costumes but I really would like to see more of them too

Aaand here's some others

If Kosem was in Alicent’s place, I know she would have rallied the military and had Aemond promptly strangled for getting in her way lol

Good luck defending yourself Aemond pookie, you need all the weapons on your belt mehehe

Today's episode of "Is it a heavily altered costume or just the same fabric?" is about Nurbanu and Gülbahar.

I wish I had more screenshots of Nurbanu's dress from the same side as Gülbahar but I think she only wears it in one scene in 139. The awkward seam on Gülbahar where the pattern doesn't line up is what made me suspicious and that the dress never appeared again. I'm not too clever about sewing but I could imagine them removing the red part and making the weird added pieces and shoulder caps from the former sleeves. However, this wouldn't be the first time Magnificent Century uses the same fabric for multiple different outfits.

Does anyone remember if Nurbanu maybe wears it in another scene too and I just skipped over it?

Nurgul Yesilcay as KOSEM SULTAN [4/4] Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem (2015)

[scaly-freaks]

Rewatching the Murad era of Muhtesem Yuzyil: Kosem sure hits different now that I've obsessed about Alicent and Aegon's mother-son relationship a 100 different ways. Unfortunately, my baby Alicent is not the iron-fisted force of nature Kosem is, and Murad shares Aegon's impulsive brashness but his decisions pan out better. The mother-son dynamic though, and the fact that both mothers outlived the sons...plus, judging by the S2 trailer, just like Murad, Aegon is going to make a habit of not heeding the woman who enthroned him.

Sons as their mother's sword arm except the blade is poisoned, URGH!!!!

Aslan / Aslanım Lion / My Lion

A striking name of Turkish origin, Aslan is a boy's name that means “lion.” This powerful title is derived from Old Turkic and was used as an epithet for Turkish emperors in the Middle Ages.

For Rosaline's dress: More pics

For Kosem's dress: Probably one of her best looks overall, it appears in one of her scenes doing charity and walking in front of the folk. I love that, even when you can tell it's a very rich gown that makes her shine and contrast with the others' simple costumes, the garden theme of her character is present via the lot of white flowers. That way, the cape opening creates this beautiful effect of the gown being a road of flowers and highlights her role as a source of connection between the palace and the common people.
