Though I am told by my drag queen friends that tiaras and crowns are fairly heavy and uncomfortable to wear (and also, they note, that being able to sit them on a wig helps a lot!) I would still like the opportunity to find out. Alas, I do not live a tiara kind of life but it would be worth renewing my vows to try one of these babies.
Jennifer Behr makes lovely modern head bands, tiaras and coronets, notably her Cecilia model, shown below. Her site notes, “The coronet is a signature Jennifer Behr style. It is a deconstructed modern tiara that rests comfortably and securely on the head due to it’s flexible design. The Cecilia Coronet features flattering height and Swarovski crystal leaves and flowers. This headpiece has Swarovski crystal detailing on the full 360 degrees. The Swarovski crystal leaves and flowers continue around the back of the headpiece. This headpiece can be worn with hair up or down. Can be worn with a long, simple veil for one’s wedding day. Each Swarovski crystal is set by hand to ensure the highest quality. Handmade in New York City.”
Go for the bling, I say, and no wig required for this one. This sells for USD$3,250.
