Fearless style and killer heels couldn’t even begin to describe Malaysia Tatler’s December 2017 cover personality, Tunku Elana Khyra. Known for her down-to-earth personality and fun-loving nature, this vivacious young royal isn’t afraid to let her hair down every once in a while, injecting her brand of fun into fashion. Scroll on for Tunku Elana’s best style moments since 2013.

Fresh-faced, beautifully bronzed and blessed with a great sense of humour, Elana could flash one of her supermodel pouts as easily as she could pull a funny face for the camera.
