Fine, I won't say it, but you know I'm still thinking it. Where exactly do you plan to wear such a thing? To your Monday morning meetings? To a formal event where, let's face it, any other tiaras are likely to be real (and just as silly)? Upon closer inspection, I believe your Highness will find that most of the tiaras were in fact statement hair accessories. Miu Miu sent its spring-summer 2016 collection down the runway with pretty hairbands bejewelled in crystals, faux pearls and palladium plating, plus some plexiglass for a touch of modernity (HK$2,750 to HK$6,350). Rodarte used floral metallic hair clips that were strategically placed to look like part of a crown. The clips by the elusive brand aren't easy to source but similar styles by others are within your reach. For example, Plasticouture has a cute substitute in its Sakura antiqued brass head band (HK$196;
