I'm sure it was as simple as the costume designer going "She's going to look stupid in a hairnet, let's go with a necklace instead" and everyone saying fine. Pretty nit-picky thing to worry about. I did notice that the first reply on that imgur page was someone whining about it though.
The whole idea of smuggling the poison in on Sansa seems unnecessarily complex to me though. It's not like Olenna had to go through TSA on the way to the wedding, why not just put it in her pocket? Or at least on her own jewelry. The whole plot depends on Sansa not wandering off at the wrong time when she didn't need to be involved at all.

I never really thought of it like that and it does seem kind of silly from that perspective.

A word of warning: Kotaku is currently running a story about the latest episode that is supposed to be "spoiler free" but it links clues together in a way only someone who read the book could, making it basically a spoiler for the mystery that is the murder.

Plenty of dragons in the past over King's Landing. Targaryens were some crazy ass mofos and they rode them dragons everywhere.

To pin it on Sansa and Tyrion ofc.
The plot is of course complicated but you have to keep in mind that the plot being a miss doesn't change much for the Tyrells. Sansa could've wandered off, Joeffrey could've spilled his cup with the poison or any number of things could've interrupted the assassination. Just means they'll have to try again later. What's critical is they have a scapegoat they can easily blame it on so things wrap up nicely for them. The master-stroke would have been them pinning it on Tywin, but that'd probably be impossible to pull off. Tywin has the power to literally kill Joeffrey in public, proclaim Tommen the new king and everyone but Cersei and Jaimie would just go along with it.

It was meant to point people at Sansa and Tyrion. The necklace with the missing jewel comes up at Tyrion's trial I think, along with the fact that she has disappeared.

There is a contingency associated with it possibly being pinned on Sansa as well. If she was implicated in the assassination, she would have been executed before she and Tyrion could have produced any offspring, which would have kept the North in play for the Tyrell's to possibly outmaneuver Tywin in securing some sort of long term control over it.

Yeah I always imagined him as augustus gloop from the first Willie Wonka movie.
I don't know about the shaved head, but when she's locked in the tower she's basically naked for like a week isn't she?

Yeah but don't forget Dany wore a dress with one tit exposed for I don't even know how long and that part never came to light in the show. Didn't Lena Headey get a body double for her naked ass once?
