Vogue pic of the Shah, baby Shah and Farah Diba, standing by his gold & jewel encrusted throne, and looking like European monarchs on steroids.

Farah Diba on a cover of a fashion magazine being compared to Jackie Kennedy. i don’t believe they are actually standing together. typical of gossip rags to compose people into the same cover ―remember, this was all hand made with photos before the 1980s.

1970s Vogue Arabia photo of Farah Diba with her brood. her oldest son is at her right. he’s the Pahlavi that’s been trying to restore the dictatorship his dad had.

Farah Diba in a glamour shot, dressed in a floor-length wool cardigan and gown, exquisitely embroidered with Iranian motifs. when i was a kid, she was the most famous of a literal handful of women of color who got to be on fashion magazines. in Vogue Latinoamérica ―which was published in Venezuela―, it was her and Bianca Jagger. seriously, just the two. when i tell you, Iran and Venezuela are tethered, wether they like it or not, by the petromafia, believe me. something as inocuous as 1970s Latin American fashion magazines are the tell.
