The granddaughter of Iran’s last monarch, Princess Iman Pahlavi, has exchanged vows with American financier Bradley Sherman in an elegant Parisian celebration, following a private courthouse ceremony in New York last month.
The union marks a new chapter for the royal descendant, blending modern romance with regal tradition. After a quiet legal registration at the Manhattan Marriage Bureau in May, the couple hosted an intimate yet opulent wedding in Paris, attended by close family and friends.
Among the esteemed guests was Empress Farah Diba, the bride’s grandmother and widow of the late Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
For her walk down the aisle, Princess Iman chose a breathtaking lace gown from Lebanese designer Elie Saab’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection. The off-shoulder dress, adorned with intricate hand-embroidered floral motifs, perfectly balanced modern sophistication and royal grandeur. She was escorted by her father, Reza Pahlavi, Iran’s former crown prince, in a poignant moment that bridged past and present.

The couple’s romance began in 2017 after being introduced through mutual friends. In 2023, Sherman proposed during a beachside getaway, a moment later shared by Iman’s mother, Yasmine Pahlavi, on Instagram. “We’ve watched their relationship blossom and are so happy they’ve made a commitment to share their lives together,” she wrote.
Now residing in New York City, Iman works at American Express, while Sherman is in finance. Their two-year engagement culminated in a celebration that honored both their contemporary lifestyle and royal heritage.
As the middle daughter of Reza and Yasmine Pahlavi, Princess Iman carries forward the legacy of Iran’s last imperial family with grace. Her wedding, much like her grandmother Empress Farah’s iconic style, reflects a seamless fusion of tradition and modernity—a testament to the Pahlavi family’s enduring influence.
