EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, Prince Aly Khan and Rita Hayworth exude an air of pure elegance and blissful happiness as they pose for the cameras following their wedding ceremony in May 1949. The Prince, whose full name was Ali Salman Aga Khan, was a member of the renowned Aga Khan family, a spiritual and political leader of the Ismaili Muslims. Rita Hayworth, born Margarita Carmen Cansino, was an American actress and dancer, renowned for her captivating beauty and magnetic screen presence. Their union was a highly publicized and glamorous event of the 1940s. The wedding took place at the Prince's estate, Ritz Carlton in Palm Springs, California. Rita looked stunning in her ivory silk gown with a fitted bodice and a full skirt, adorned with intricate beading and lace. Her hair was styled in soft curls, and she wore a delicate veil and a chic hat adorned with flowers. Prince Aly Khan looked dashing in his formal attire, complete with a top hat and a rose in his lapel. The couple's wedding was a grand affair, attended by high-profile guests, including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Lana Turner, and Gene Kelly. The marriage, however, was short-lived, as they divorced in 1951. Nevertheless, their wedding remains a memorable moment in the annals of Hollywood history, a testament to the allure and glamour of the 1940s. This photograph captures the essence of that moment, a moment of pure joy and celebration, frozen in time.
