Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas and Sita Devi, Maharanee of Baroda, known as the "Indian Wallis Simpson" walking through Casino, at ballet gala evening. Monte Carlo 1960.

Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, and Sita Devi, the Maharanee of Baroda, walk through the Monte Carlo Casino during a ballet gala evening in 1960. Callas (left) is poised in a patterned top and dark pencil skirt, carrying a fur stole. In the center, the Maharanee—known as the "Indian Wallis Simpson"—wears a shimmering gown and turns toward Onassis. The smiling magnate, clad in a double-breasted tuxedo, holds a cigarette as the group crosses the polished floor with its large, inlaid star pattern.
