How would you Kibbe IDd Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary?
first of all, thanks for introducing me to this gorgeous woman
Tumblr media
She has Romantic Dramatic Ingenue essence.
Tumblr media
It's really hard to find pictures of her where she's wearing outfits that reveal her silhouette properly so I can't determine whether or not she has a double curve but I am inclined to believe that she's a TR because her essence fits and she has those tell-tale bedroom eyes. Along with the high contrast for which most TRs are known.

Caspian tigress “Soraya” in her exhibit at the Tierpark Hagenbeck in Hamburg, Germany. The tigress arrived at the zoo in 1955, a gift from the Shah of Iran and named for his second wife, Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary. The exact timeline of the Caspian tiger’s extinction is disputed, but it is likely that “Soraya” holds the unfortunate distinction of being the last of her kind displayed in captivity. [ x ]

Pac-12 conference of champions shirt
Queen Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiarys wedding dress in 1951 was an absolute work of art. It was built by Christian Dior and is said to have 6,000 diamonds, 20,000 Malibu feathers and 37 yards of silver wire, according to Tatler. All this embellishment made it so heavy that her groom, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and one of his assistants had to cut part of the Pac-12 conference of champions shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this train with scissors before the wedding. For Princess Mabel van Oranjes big day, she commissioned Viktor & Rolf to design a one-of-a-kind crewneck dress with a georgette silk bow, the largest ever found at the end of her nearly 10-foot-long train. According to The Guardian, it took the designers 600 hours to complete the royal oath in time for her late husband, Prince Friso, who died in 2016 of complications from a skiing accident. year 2013.

Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary (1932-2001).
Queen consort of Iran.
.
She was the queen consort (shahbanu) of Iran as the second wife of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, whom she married in 1951.
.
Their marriage suffered many pressures, particularly when it became clear that she was infertile. She rejected the Shah’s suggestion that he might take a second wife in order to produce an heir, as he rejected her suggestion that he might abdicate in favour of his half-brother. Being half German Christian, she was mistrusted by Shiite clerics; she was also resented by the Shah’s possessive mother. In March 1958, the Shah wept as he announced their divorce. The British Ambassador claimed that Soraya was the Shah's only true love.
.
Following the marriage, Soraya headed the family charity in Iran. Soraya's marriage was troubled as Mohammad Reza's mother and sisters all saw her as a rival for his love just as they had with his first wife Princess Fawzia Fuad of Egypt, and continually snubbed and inflicted petty humiliations on her.
.
As Soraya was brought up in Europe, Iran was a "strange" country to her, which the Iranian-American historian Abbas Milani argued explained her attitudes towards ordinary Iranians, which he called borderline racist. Europe was always the model for excellence in everything for her.
.
Soraya who was fascinated with Hollywood and enjoyed meeting American film stars during her stay in Los Angeles. During her time in Los Angeles, Soraya met her favorite stars who were Grace Kelly, Lauren Bacall, Bob Hope, Esther Williams, and Humphrey Bogart. A photograph of Queen Soraya water-skiing in Miami while wearing a bikini become extremely controversial in Iran.
.
Soraya was very jealous and demanded that her husband show love only to her, not even to Princess Shahnaz, the Shah's daughter by his first marriage.
.
After a brief career as an actress, and a liaison with Italian film director Franco Indovina (she became depressed after his death in a plane crash), Soraya lived alone in Paris till her death.

“Queen Soraya, Grace Kelly, Kate Middleton, and Princess Iman are the best royal brides ever. Each representing the fashion of the time in a timeless way, paired with ideal hair, makeup and the right accessories. I lowkey wish Rajwa would’ve worn her hennah dress for her main wedding because a) imo she looks even more beautiful in traditional wear b) it was a far superior dress than her Elie Saab” - Submitted by Anonymous
