> I think the point is that she's so happy on her wedding day that she's showering beauty on others. It's a sweet metaphor for her happiness as a bride using Veela magic as an excuse, imo, not a subtle example of goblin magic. The Ravenclaw tiara isn't known for doing anything magical, just being a Horcrux and being owned.

> I think the tiara's just a nice little detail and Aunt Muriel's line is just a character moment. She's taking credit for Fleur's beauty and responding as if Hermione's naturally impressed by the part of the outfit she provided rather than Fleur herself. I think you were mystified because you wouldn't expect somebody to be that self-centered.:-)

That is how I read that scene too. Fleur is spreading her beauty out because she is so happy, and Aunt Muriel is obsessed with her tiara.
