These updated crown looks put a spin on a royal classic. Made of unusual materials such as tulle, flowers, paper, hair and feathers, these tiaras are more couture runway-ready than monarch-worthy.
With the recent obsession regarding Kate Middleton's engagement, subsequent wedding to, and pregnancy with Prince William, the royals are back in style. Bringing fashion back to the British royals, media favorite Kate Middleton has inspired many current styles, key among them being the revival of the tiara.
The modern tiara can be worn in a number of ways. Whether dressed up with sparkles, diamonds or gold or dressed down with flowers, paper and feathers, these looks are most definitely modern, feminine and beautiful.
