4. Maharani Sita Devi

Maharani of Kapurthala, she was known as one of the five best-dressed women on the earth. Needless to say, her sartorial choices made her a true diva in the fashion world. Adoring specially crafted sarees and handpicked jewelry on her beautiful body, she could give any of the post-independence models a run for their money.

5. Maharani Gayatri Devi

An acknowledged fashion icon and truly an epitome of Indian beauty and grace, Maharani Gayatri Devi was a charismatic fashionista of her time. Her extreme love for pastel coloured French Chiffon Saris and dark coloured glasses made her a trendsetter during the Pre-Indepence Era. Even Vogue described her as, "dream in sari and jewels". The  satin blouses with 10-inch sleeve was one of her most popular fashion statements which are in trend till date.
