In my view it looks way better on her than it ever did on her late majesty, it was not one of her most sucessful tiaras. The same with the sapphire tiara.
As for the earrings ... the royal jeweler should have thought of a solution for the Queen's unpearced earlobs by now. Tonight's ruby earrings match better with the necklace though than the sapphire earrings with the George VI neckclace, those were of a totally diferent shade.
But of course the surprise of the evening was the resurfacing of the Strathmore rose tiara worn by The Princess of Wales. Lets hope some more long time no seen tiaras will resurface in upcoming events (the Teck crescent tiara, the diamond lozenge tiara, Queen Mary's sapphire center sunray bandeau ... or the Greville mistery tiara worn by Pss Anne at the Chinese State banquet some years ago).
Also wonderful to see the Gloucester emerald bandeau after a long time unworn.
