Now Where Did I Put My Starter Tiara?

I think we have at least one tiara each, according to my spreadsheet. Some have parures. Any newbies welcome, log your choices.

I can’t cope with the feathers. Going to look for Caped Cams…

I do think Max could have added a tiara, or at least a massive necklace. That's somewhat disappointing.

I got all excited when I read the words “Max” and “feathers” but by her standards, that’s positively tame. Here are a couple of her more exuberant feathered choices. Grin

Those feathered creations are so dramatic! I do like Max's tendency to Go Big Or Go Home!

KillingMeDeftly · 01/11/2021 21:13

Max is fab, as always!

paradyning · 01/11/2021 21:15

She is just frickin awesome. She has the pizzazz to carry it off. Can you imagine poor Bea wearing the first hat. She'd be slaughtered.

AdaColeman · 01/11/2021 21:47

I absolutely love Max in her Natan feather cuffed dress. The fabric is gorgeous with those bronze highlights.

The other guests at the meal all seem to be in daywear, so she’s hit the right note I think.

Another tiara for the unattached…
Thread fave Lady Sarah Chatto in her wedding tiara, an unofficial piece.
Shades of Jesus about it though, albeit a sparkly and green version

I like the vivid cobalt blue of Kate’s Eponine dress, she’s got quite a few of their outfits, the black buttons or feature pocket flaps at waist level are a trademark.

I think Kate looks lovely in that colour, but I’m a bit disappointed that she didn’t choose a rewear to make a positive statement tonight.

Thank you for this thread, swooning over tiaras just before going to sleep is so soothing!

I’d like the girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara although suspect it’s taken

I'm not keen on this style on Kate she's so slender it's drowning her . When she's not smiling she looks seriously tired. With Philip, Andrew and Harry missing a heavier load has fallen to a couple with a young family.

Gorgeous.

How much do tiaras weigh. I suspect I would get a headache. I love metal hairbands with bling but I will suddenly get awful pains and have to remove them

There's plenty a couple with heavier workloads than the Cambridges. Couples with children who work full-time and don't have the luxury of endless help and jetting off on holiday at half-term! William's last engagement was at least 2 weeks ago and Kate wasn't seen from July until September so I can't exactly feel sorry for them.

Beautiful, I love this one but have already claimed more than one

@CruellaDeVilla - Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara ✔️

I agree, @KillingMeDeftly - I don't think it's a workload problem, I suspect a rather rigorous diet and exercise regime.

Having dealt with everyone from Cabinet Ministers to the cleaners & also having several 'lovely' Ofsted experiences in my previous role plus people do literally tell me everything & anything, I volunteer myself to do the diversions at KP a la Sarah Paulson's character Tammy.
Just let me know which water features I need to pull the fake tiaras out of 😂

chesterelly1 · 01/11/2021 23:25

Slight name change (changed for another thread and it wouldn't let me swap straight back). Anyhow, @Maireas I don't have the Strathmore so if it's still available it can go to @TheHuntingoftheSnark. Mine's the Meander tiara worn by Zara for her wedding.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 02/11/2021 00:30

I've seen another turquoise tiara to add to my collection
@Maireas
The Turquoise Daisy Bandeau

& I think The Prussian Tiara would fit nicely in my collection too

I also found this website that sells replica royal tiaras that not only ships to the UK but you can do a virtual try on!

Loving Max's hair with the waves, and only she could carry off that feathered frock 😄

Not a fan of Kate's blue dress at all! It might have worked if it was on or above the knee and worn in the daytime. A rewear would have been more appropriate.

Loved HMQ's green dress and the butterfly brooch linking to the photo of Phillip 🥰

You're quite right, my mistake! Yours is definitely the Meander. I think the Strathmore is RomainingCalm's.

More photos from last night's do. I do agree with @paradyning that's it's a slightly ageing look on Kate. It's not dissimilar to what Camilla is wearing and she's over 70! Still, at least she got to meet Justin Trudeau again Grin
