How it's used
Refers specifically to the formal headgear of a monarch, but it is also frequently used metaphorically in branding and marketing to denote top-tier quality or status. While it carries a sense of majesty, it is perfectly acceptable to use for children's toys or costume accessories without sounding overly formal.
