Nothing says princess more than a tiara on top of your head. We all fantasized about it when we were kids.
You’d wear your mom’s high heels, use any scarf lying around as a dress, and put a tiara on your head, then go around acting like the real princess you are.
Well, now we’re adults and we’re still waiting for the right moment to wear that tiara! May it be an Eid celebration, a ceremony, or even your wedding, now may be the right moment to rock that tiara.
If you want to know how to wear tiara with hijab, you’ll be happy to see these ideas we’re listing below!
How to Wear Tiara With Hijab
Before we list ideas, we’ll show you how to style your tiara with your hijab, perfectly wrapping the veil to keep the tiara stable on it. Here are steps for a classic tiara look, though you’re free to change the hijab wrap if you want:
- With this wrap, the under scarf will be peeking from underneath your veil, so you should make sure to match it to the hijab’s color or have it in a complementary color like white.
- If you don’t have a suitable under scarf, you can grab any short hijab you have and wrap it around your head so that it covers the top of your forehead, and tie it in a knot at the back of your neck.
- After wearing the under scarf, hold the hijab over your head so that one side is longer than the other.
- You should position it so that it creates a triangular tip over your forehead, showing the under scarf beneath it.
- When you find the perfect position, pin it from the sides of your head first to make sure the tip doesn’t move around or go loose. Then, pin both sides together under your chin.
- Grab the longer side of the hijab from one edge and roll it around your neck to your opposite shoulder. You should roll it so that its other edge is draping over your chest and back.
- Pin the edge you’re holding to your shoulder. You can either pin it to your clothing or get it to overlap and pin the fabric together.
- The shorter side should be hidden under the long one, but if it isn’t, you can always tuck it inside your clothes.
- Grab your tiara and put it on top of your head, making sure it’s behind the triangular tip. You can also move it toward the back of your head if you want.
- Keep the tiara in place using pins. If you want to hide those pins or offer more stability, you can grab another short scarf in the same color and position it over the back of your head, so the two sides are equal.
- The new scarf should be closer to the back of your head. It’s only there to keep the tiara in place and hide the pins, so no need to do anything with it. You can just keep it flowing back.
- Put the tiara on top of the scarf, securing it to your original scarf below and hiding the pins using the new scarf.

The 3 Best Ideas for Wearing Tiara With Hijab
There are plenty of different ways to wear a tiara with a hijab, and we’ve gathered the best five looks here!
Classic Look
You can never fail with a timeless, classic look. In this case, a classic look refers to putting the tiara on top of your hijab, at the center of your head.
Most brides go for this look because it’s a no-fuss style that’s both easy to wrap and gorgeous. Plus, it lets you choose your hijab style freely, and all you have to do is pick a tiara to go with it.
You’re not limited by the tiara’s position, so you can choose either an extravagant crown or a simple tiara, and they’ll both look good.
Side Sweep
The side sweep is a popular tiara position for floral tiaras. Because floral tiaras can’t hold themselves up, most brides put them in a side sweep at the side of their heads. So, instead of positioning the tiara at the center of your head, you tilt it to the side.
Some tiaras also have one large flower acting as the focal center, so in this case, you get this flower to the side of your head.
Forehead Tiara
If you don’t want to put a tiara on the top of your head, you can always go for a forehead tiara, otherwise known as a diadem.
Diadems don’t go on heads. Instead, they’re swept over foreheads, giving an elegant, royal look.
The good thing about diadems is that they’re not too extravagant, so you can rock one at your Eid celebration and your wedding ceremony alike. It’s a simple accessory that you can wear anywhere if you style it correctly.
Some girls choose to wear the diadem before wrapping the hijab so that it only appears on their foreheads with its back hidden. However, you can also wear it on top of your hijab if you want to show it off.
To Wrap Up
Well, now that you know how to wear tiara with hijab, we can expect you to rock your next celebration! Remember to go for the classic look if you don’t want to keep browsing hundreds of different styles, getting more confused by the second.
Or, if you don’t want an extravagant look, you can choose a floral tiara and wrap it in a side sweep on your hijab.
