Imelda and the Inverted Tiara



At the Imperial Ball of the Shah of Iran in 1971, where all the royalty in the world were invited, Imeldific Marcos  brought a tiara. Christina Ford warned her, "Meldy, you cannot wear that tonight. It's a royal reception  and only crowned heads and blue blood royalty can wear their crowns and tiaras". 

Not to be outdone, she decided to wear her tiara upside down.
