Maharani
Gayatri Devi: A politician, philanthropist, polo player, and many more, but
probably the foremost one of how the world recognizes her is the most beautiful
woman. The queen of Jaipur had this unmatched elegance and simplicity that
swept away the hearts of millions.
Essentially donned in floral
printed chiffon sarees, Her Highness had this special inclination towards
pastel shades. The baby blue, light pink, lavender, aqua, and all were the shades of her identity. The
choice of floral print spoke of how full of life she was, and the silhouette
clearly indicated that simple is also impactful.
The regal aura of Her Highness
was utterly bewitching. Her style of dressing was smooth, and her smile was
absolutely heart connecting. Married to HH Sawai Mann Singh II, the princess
became the third queen of Jaipur. Unlike other Rajputs, she was very liberal in
her thought process. She refused to confine to purdahs. She successfully curbed
the purdah system practiced by women in Rajasthan, opened a school for
girls-Maharani Gayatri Devi Girlsā School, Jaipur, and always cared to work for
the upliftment and welfare.
The queen was the muse for many
designers. The very promising Sabyasachi launched his limited-edition
collection of floral sarees inspired by her, back in 2013. Till date, women
aspire to follow her sense of fashion.
I am one of them. Remembering her today, I thought of writing how
her dressing inspired many of the color swatches of JOVI outfits and floral
prints of dupattas, how all the gears in the house are a blend of boldness and
beauty like her.And how the hue of tradition and style that she carried was a
major influencing element for me.
HH Maharani
Gayatri Devi was and is still a fashion icon across several borders and in
several thoughts.
In the end, I would like to quote
here, āStyle comes naturally. I guess you are just born with it.ā
Remembering HH Maharani of Jaipur
on her 101st birthday.
With loads of pure feelings,
Jyoti Narayan
