She is in charge of managing Princess Diya Kumari Foundation and is also the co-founder of The PDKF Store. She is known for her signature aesthetic that includes a minimal makeup look. A trend she continued while appearing at the Met Gala. For the red carpet event, she chose a Prabal Gurung gown that incorporated her grandmother Gayatri Devi’s pink chiffon sari. She finished the look with pearls and uncut diamonds from Jaipur. Talking about her outfit, she told Vogue India, “It was important that my grandmother’s sari was not just a source of inspiration, but physically incorporated into the garment in a meaningful way.”Who is Sawai Padmanabh Singh?
He is the head of the Jaipur royal family, affectionately known as Pacho to his family and friends. Just like his ancestors, he is an exceptional polo player and has won several awards. A strong believer in women’s empowerment, he is known for supporting underprivileged girls with scholarships, digital literacy programs, and academic assistance. The young royal is also a style icon, often spotted in outfits that blend tradition with modernity. Beyond his world of polo, fashion and philanthropy, he is also committed to preserving Jaipur’s cultural heritage. At the Met Gala, which he attended with his younger sister, the main attraction piece this royal wore was the Phulghar coat. According to Vogue India, the piece is developed by Prabal Gurung. It is made of deep velvet. The aari and zardozi embroidery on it took over 600 hours.
