One of the most recent news is 19-year-old, Maharaja Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur making his modelling debut at the Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan.
The Indian royal is the great-grandson of late Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II, who was the last ruling king of Jaipur. The son of Jaipur’s Princess Diya Kumari and Narendra Singh, was christened as king at the tender age of 13 by Maharani Padmini Devi (who happens to be his maternal grandmother.)
The teenager, dressed in a jet black smoking jacket, cigarette pants and a bow-tie, won many hearts on the ramp and got some major attention from the international press.
Pacho (as he is fondly referred to by family and friends) is the first Indian royal to walk the ramp on foreign shores for a big ticket designer label.
A few of the other celebrity models on the ramp were Cameron Dallas, Elias Becker (son of former tennis star Boris Becker) and Wizkid.
For Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2019 Menswear, Padmanabh turned out to be the perfect muse for the designer duo's collection. Clad in a tuxedo, he looked every bit dapper and won millions of hearts worldwide!
And he also teased his followers on Instagram with behind-the-scenes photos!
Last time we saw Padmanabh was when he was escorting Hollywood actor, Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava Philipe at Le Bal in 2017. The charity ball is a fashion event, which is held annually in the month of November.
And that dance!
While both the eligible Brit Princes are happily married now, it’s time to look out for our very own Indian Maharaja! He is indeed the youngest heartthrob in the country.
