Astrid's wings are pretty awful. But in general I don't think she wears tiaras well. IMO she pushes them too far to the back of her head and at an angle, and then she usually pairs them with ugly (and very large) glasses. Tiaras don't seem to look good when worn with glasses (although I've seen Queen Elizabeth II wear them together... what are you going to do, you need to see!).
I think tiaras are dreadfully old fashioned anyway. They belong in museums, not on people's heads.
Then I am awfully fond of this kind of old fashioned. Can I have some more, please? But I agree about the museums. Tiaras should be put there, when not worn. Much better than dark and secretive vaults! Though I wouldn't rush to a museum just because it displays something like the golden poppies or the star wars fence!I think tiaras are dreadfully old fashioned anyway.

True, true, true. One must see--isn't there a pic of some lady wearing sunglasses with a tiara? She had a blonde updo? It was hilarious!
Post it or zip it- what on Earth are you all talking about, all I read is bantering.
This is the worst Royal Jewel Thread, show us some photos of the worst Royal Jewels, Please, or refrain until you can or are able to do so!

I am desperately foraging for the picture of the sunglasses and tiara together! But I must say that the Princess in question (Marina Doria I am sure of it) was actually wearing a lovely tiara in the picture so the jewels do not really count as eligible for the 'worst jewel thread' - but the combination does IMHO as a horrific collapse in the style stakes! I will keep persevering in my quest to find a picture! By the way there is no harm in suggesting that others may like to help in this quest to find a picture...I think google 'with sunglasses, tiara, savoy, Marina Doria' may be a good starting point for anyone who would like to contribute some assistance to the hunt!!!!!

jcbcode99, thank you for posting this picture. In my ignorance, I could not figure out WHAT you all were talking about. Yes, I agree it is horribly hilarious!...it is Maria Doria from the Danish Royal Wedding 2004-halfway down.

Sometimes you guys are over-critical without thinking things through or taking into account the context. At the Danish Royal wedding (F&M) the royal guests arrived in buses and walked in a sort of procession into the church. Spectacles with photogrey lenses turn a darker shade outdoors to protect sensitive eyes against glare. Princess Marina of Savoy is wearing either these lenses or lightly-tinted sunglasses so that she doesn't get glared out. Why would anyone have a problem with that?Ah, the classic "Maria Doria" look. Nothing like historical priceless jewels to bring out your sunglasses.
