Pahlavi
Comment found with picture: 1962. Another greeting at the North Portico of glamourous state visitors coming to dinner -- Their Imperial Majesties The Shahanshah and Empress Farah Diba of Iran. She wore a gown of specially- woven gold, encrusted with gems, made for her by the House of Dior. She brought with her what seemed like the entire treasury of Iran in egg-sized emeralds and diamonds -- in her tiara, necklace, on the wide ceremonial ribbon that stretched across her shoulder, and on her fingers and wrists. She was the same age as Jackie, also with two small children, and was a clothes horses of equal talent. The two women were constantly being compared. Jackie won this night by being very jeune fille in a strawberry pink and white silk shantung gown with "only borrowed diamond drop earrings" as ornamentation.
