In 1957, Queen Elizabeth II became the first reigning monarch to open a session of the Canadian Parliament. She wore her Norman Hartnell coronation dress and an array of significant diamonds and pearls. Queen Alexandra's Kokoshnik tiara took center stage; it was designed to resemble one owned by her sister, Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia. The look was finished with the Coronation necklace and Queen Victoria's pearl drop earrings. Over her opera-length gloves, she wore a diamond watch and the Edinburgh wedding bracelet.
