We've got Queen Ingrid's Star and Pearl Tiara tonight on Princess Ben, who clearly took a detour through a wind tunnel on her way to the banquet...

Tiara with sticky-up pieces. Hair with sticky-up pieces. I can see the train of thought here. Which doesn't make this an attractive look, however.
Could someone please reassure me that in person this dress is actually quite pretty, even dramatic? It simply does not translate in photography and I am hoping this is the last time we see it. That tiara needs a redesign. Maybe she could combine the jewels from her other tiaras and make one truly smashing piece?
Gosh, she's gone for the Camilla flick! No, I don't think that this is quite right for her. I do love her in this dress, but the spiky hair doesn't really soften the gimlet glare.
She does have very smooth skin around the decolletage. And she's got a couple of spare ninja throwing stars there in case the tiara doesn't have sufficient.
Hmm, which looks sharper - the ends of Benedikte's upturned hair or the points on her tiara? Scary look coupled with the glare. And I'd like the dress better if it didn't have the busy lace-embroidered overlay.
I think it is a beautiful tiara and that the hairstyle is all wrong. To explain, this tiara would have looked magnificent in 1900 on top of the updos of that time.
Perhaps it's a bit windy in Denmark...
