You mean the Peter Stuyvesant Ball in New York? Isn't that always a black tie event? I agree it is strange that when Princess Margriet wears a diadem, her daughters-in-law at the same event do not.
Maybe there is a division in A-princes and B-princes (what Queen Juliana wanted to avoid). The Princess tends to wear her diadems in beatrixian style anyway: hardly visible in the hairdo.
