As far as accessories go, tiaras—real, sparkly, diamond-dripping tiaras—are somewhat hard to pull off. Unlike a good pair of Manolos, there’s an expectation that comes with picking one out of the royal jewel vault for a grand occasion. Poise, elegance, status, style and dignity among them.
And none know that better than Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark. Mary, who has been in the tiara-game since her wedding to Prince Frederik in 2004, knows how to balance a sparkler with some all-Aussie grace.
Here, we’re looking at her best-ever tiara-topped moments, from glamorous state functions to the odd royal wedding.
Every inch the modern princess.
If anyone knows how to wear a royal tiara—and wear it well—it’s Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark. The stylish royal has been donning tiaras since her wedding in 2004, and looking chic every time.
