Tiara studded headdress with diamantes and imitation crystals in pink and pale blue. The top of the tiara extends upwards with fifteen prongs arranged in a lyrebird design. The central prong terminates with a pink imitation crystal in a teardrop design. Three pink ostrich feathers are attached behind the prongs and extend upwards. Attachments to either side of the tiara curve downwards along the jaw-line with each attachment featuring three prongs studded with imitation crystals and terminating in a teardrop design. A strand of diamantes is attached to the base of the tiara which falls across the forehead in a V-line when worn. A beige elastic strap is attached to the back of the tiara and a silver hair comb on both sides. This helps to secure the headdress to the crown and keep it in place.
