Star Princess tiara: From humongous to non existantSierra Boggess, Paris: Gotta give it to Paris: They modeled this after the actual moon, scale and all… Interestingly, it doesn’t have a visible fundament. It’s all about the moon!Sarah Brightman, Broadway: Also a huge moon and little fundament. This did alas not last long on stage.Viktoria Krantz Tocca, Copenhagen: The Swedish/Danish original tiara had a big silvery star and a visible fundament AND big stars, making it an impressive construction. Rebecca Caine, Toronto: Back to less fundament, but ONE GIANT BLUE MOON. Epic look. Harriet Jones, West End: A modest blue moon as such, but one helluva star studded fundament. SO MUCH TIARA. Emilie Kouatchou, Broadway: Fairly small faceted mirror star, backed with small stars, and a modest fundament. Claire Lyon, World Tour: The original Aussie and World Tour tiaras had tiny silvery star, but a big “starburst” fundament. In all fairness they’re totally not reflecting on the costume design, but they’re cool. Celinde Schoenmaker, West End: Being a tall Christine, they composed a brand new tiara for her, with an askew moon attached to a silver cluster on a tiny fundament. As far as I know, only Celinde wore this. Lucy St Louis, West End Revival: OK, so the tiaras are quite regular sized blue moons. But when you wear it as a hairclasp at the back of your head it’s no longer a tiara. Colleen Besett, Vienna: Since original Viennese Christine Luzia Nistler was considered very tall they changed her tiaras to just glittering diadems. For mysterious reasons this was also done for all the other Christines, whatever height. As a reference, Maria Bjørnson’s design DO feature a gigantic tiara with no fundament. The silvery tiara is star studded and placed down the forehead of the wearer, a bit askew. Thus, the two first might seem overwhelming on the actresses, but they do in their own way reflect on the costume design. -- source link
