Prince Aga Khan and the Begum. New Year’s Eve gala. Cannes 1952.

At a New Year’s Eve gala in Cannes, 1952, the Begum leans over a dinner table to kiss Prince Aga Khan on the cheek. She wears a strapless, polka-dot gown with a dark, patterned trim on the bodice and a dangling earring. The Prince is dressed formally in a tuxedo with a carnation pinned to his lapel. A floral centerpiece adorns their table as another guest, wearing a beaded necklace, looks on from the right in this candid and affectionate moment.
