What do you think?
How should a tiara be placed on the head, and what kind of hairstyle fits with tiaras? I hope that you understand my question Please post pictures to give as examples |

What a wonderful question, Josefine! I understand perfectly what you are asking. I was thinking something similar as I was looking at Danjel's beautiful site on tiaras.
I must say that my personal preferences is for hair to be pulled up and back as to full emphasize the beauty and glamour of the tiara rather than for hair to be hangding down around the face and distract from the crown jewel, so to speak. I think several Queen Silvia, Queen Margrethe, Queen Sonja, Crown Princess Mathilde and Crown Princess Maxima wear tiaras very well. Here is a fine example of Queen Silvia at a Nobel Peace Prize dinner. (Photo from www.ibl.se) |

I don't know if it's her choice of tiaras or her bouffant-style hairdo, but unfortunately, I'm not crazy about how well Queen Beatrix wears tiaras.

This one sort of reminds me of a wide hairband in Beatrix's hair.

And from the always fabulously-attired Princess Alexandra of Denmark. (I also espescially love her dress in this picture.) Sorry the hair and tiara aren't more prominent. |

I have a love/hate sentiment with Queen Elizabeth II and tiaras. Sometimes I love the way they look on her and sometimes I absolutely loathe the way they look on her.
Here is one time I tiaras and Queen Elizabeth.www.corbis.com |

I love the Spanish royals, but I don't like the look of tiaras on Queen Sofia. I can't quite pin point what or why, but I think it has something to do with the shape of her hair that doesn't suit tiaras. They are not as flattering on her as they are on others.
Here is an example of one of my not so favourite looks on the beloved Queen of Spain. www.corbis.com |

My one exception of hair being worn down and framing the face is Queen Rania of Jordan during her and King Abdullah's state visit to Great Britain. Maybe it was because the Queen's hair colour sort of blended with the colour of her dress that the tiara was fully able to stand out on its own that makes me like this look.

Queen Elizabeth II should have given some of the royal tiaras to her daughter-in-laws. Who is she saving them for?

This one is my favorite hair style with tiara of Princess Alexandra of Denmark. Very classy yet still have some modern feeling. Although she has only one tiara as far as I know
, she always showed up in such a style!!!Queen Silvia of Sweden has a great collection of tiaras. And her smile with those tiaras make her such an elegant queen. And I agree with Thissal about Queen Elizabeth II's tiaras. (photo from Dana) |

Here is one of my favorite pictures of Queen Silvia with tiara. A simple hairdo is enough for a magnificent tiara!

What I have wondering is, do tiaras look better with darker hair?
Because often tiaras are in light colors |

I have heard that some people don't like when the base of the tiaras shows, what do you think
