Or maybe it is due to how the Crystal Heart gives you your Crystal Pony form.

Cadance became the Empire's new sovereign in The Crystal Empire - Part 2, so it gave her a royal appearance in her Crystal Pony form.

Since she was a mother now in The Crystalling - Part 2, it gave her a more motherly appearance instead, trading her crown for a nice, braided headband.

However, in both cases, it was only temporary, and she was back to her normal appearance once outside the Empire's borders.
