Naser al-Din Shah Qajar and His 84 Wives: Rare Photographs and the Story of the Iranian Shah

. . .
I am abit speechless. The Shah certainly had an interesting taste in women.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Sometimes the beholder is mental.
Then he should have been a blind or the invention of the camera could have delayed so we won't be tortured aesthetically today.
 
.
I heard that it was very desired in Persia, especially uni-brows. I'm guessing these women were very attractive for their era.
All of them have heavy eye brows and mustache, shah had weird sense of beauty.
Dill chahta hai shah ko gooli maar doun, how comes he collected ugliness under one roof?
They are male actors and who dressed as women for the stage
 
.
Watch the documentary.. it says that the wives who didn't have a mustache would paint one to be competitive with other wives of the Shah and paint the eyebrows to make them look like a uni-brow. However gross it may sound like today, it was what he liked back then!

Were these really the beauty standards of Iran in those times?
