Princess Iman Pahlavi Marries Bradley Sherman in a Cross-Cultural Parisian Celebration
In an intimate yet historically resonant ceremony near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, Princess Iman Pahlavi, granddaughter of Iran's last monarch Mohammad Reza Shah and Empress Farah Pahlavi, married Bradley Sherman, an American tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist. The weekend celebration marked not only a union of two individuals, but also a poignant blending of cultures, generations, and global influences. Surrounded by close family and friends—including the bride's grandmother, Her Imperial Majesty Empress Farah Pahlavi—the wedding served as both a private milestone and a public tribute to enduring heritage. The event was steeped in tradition and yet unmistakably modern, reflecting the bride's deep cultural roots and contemporary worldview. Princess Iman wore a custom Elie Saab gown that transformed into three different looks throughout the day and evening — merging timeless grace with versatile design. Her grandmother, Empress Farah, also wore Elie Saab Couture, a nod to legacy and sophistication, while the bride's mother and sisters were dressed in elegant couture ensembles that mirrored the refined tone of the occasion. The groom and the bride's father were dressed by NB44, a menswear label by Nicholas Bijan, the son of the late iconic Iranian-American designer Bijan of Rodeo Drive fame and a longtime friend of the Pahlavi family.

Queen Rania skips Jordan's Independence Day celebrations due to back injury
Queen Rania skipped Jordan's Independence Day celebrations on Sunday due to a back injury. The Jordanian royal shared a photo of herself watching the celebrations on television with Princess Iman, who gave birth to her first child, daughter Amina, in February. "Happy Independence Day to our beloved Jordan. I look forward to celebrating this day alongside His Majesty each year, but I am tuning in from home after treatment for back pain - with my dear Iman graciously keeping me company," Queen Rania posted on Instagram. In Arabic, she jokingly added that she has joined "the Jordanian disc club", suggesting spinal issues. Jordan celebrated its 79th Independence Day with patriotic fervour on Sunday. Streets across Amman were lined with flags, while government buildings, historical sites and main roads were dressed in red, white, green and black – the colours of the Jordanian flag. This year's celebrations featured cultural performances, air and drone shows and a special ceremony attended by the royal family at Al Husseiniya Palace in the evening. The Royal Hashemite Court posted a photo of King Abdullah II accompanied by Crown Prince Hussein, Princess Salma and Prince Hashem arriving for the ceremony. Prince Hussein's wife, Princess Rajwa, who turned 31 in April, was not seen in the photo. At the ceremony, King Abdullah bestowed medals upon several distinguished Jordanian individuals and leading national institutions in recognition of their significant contributions and services to the nation and its people, state news agency Roya News reported. Crown Prince Hussein also posted a photo from the event. "Today, we celebrate the outstanding achievements of a group of Jordanians whose dedication continues to inspire. Happy Independence Day," he shared on Instagram.
