Noble birth is no guarantee for taste, elegance, self-knowledge nor for suitability for any role. She's lovely and I am sure most jewels will look stunning on her. Previous Message
The Now Heditary Grand Duchess is coming from the highest Belgian Nobility. She will be a Grand Duchess for a long time and will wear all the Belgian and Grand ducal jewels on a perfect way.

We will see but I suspect the sheer height and weight of that thing makes it tough to balance . It never looked very comfortable on anyone...for a portrait sitting perhaps but not walking and dining with that thing. Previous Message
Maybe it can be made to work better. The Braganza tiara in Sweden and the House diamond tiara in the Netherlands both are made to work in smaller versions, that could be an option for the Luxembourg piece.
Stephanie has longer hair than her mother-in-law so i think it might suit her better because she has more options to adapt her hairstyle to make it work. Previous Message
Fully agree. That Gothic Diamond Cathedral should be put on display in a museum. It won't suit Stephanie either. Previous Message
That massive Empire Tiara was another disaster for MT, she was just too short for it. Never looked quite right and takes the right lady to pull it off. Perhaps better as a museum piece for everyone to enjoy, because it gives drag beauty pageant winner vibes. Curious to see if the new Grand Duchess will adopt it for occasions. Previous Message
One of the few tiaras that actually suit the Grand Duchess. Most tiaras are either overpowering or underwhelming on her. Stephanie seems to carry most tiaras much better. Except the Chaumet Emerald Tiara but that's an impossible contraption for any wearer. Previous Message
A series of new portraits of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg have been released in connection with an interview she did with ELLE Luxembourg ahead of the Abdication of Grand Duke Henri later this year .
Most notably, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa wore the Luxembourg Vine Leaves Tiara (the first time she hasn’t worn the Belgian Scroll Tiara since 2018) along with Queen Astrid’s Emerald Earrings .
