One of my favorite movies is Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. It was actually filmed at the Chateau de Versailles. It is a beautiful movie to watch. In addition to the stunning scenery and sets (what’s not to love about the palace?), the costumes are wonderful. The movie itself does not have very much dialogue – I think she lets the visuals do the talking.
I wanted to share a few of my favorite costumes from the movie. I know it’s a little bit of a different post than I normally write, but you all know I am a Francophile!
Below is her Austrian costume. It appears to be a grey blue velvet.
When she entered the border of France, she was forced to change and stripped of everything Austrian – and this is her new French outfit!
Below is her wedding gown. Could imagine wearing a dress with such wide hips! What women do for fashion…
This one below is one of my favorite gowns. I just love love love the fabric. Also love the other ladies’ dresses as well! The blue and yellow dress in the back looks like a Pierre Frey fabric, actually. 
I loved her pink bow dress on blue but there aren’t too many good pictures of it. I also love taking a pause to look at the food spread on the table! A work of art!
Below is her coronation gown. 
Love the soft palette here, and yes, I know this was filmed in Marie Antoinette’s bedroom because I studied that fabric and wallpaper up close in that room!
Below is a shot from Annie Liebovitz for Vogue. 
A beautiful red belt against a pale blue gown!
This fabric below is so beautiful. Love the red gloves and the blue silk ribbon used as a necklace. So chic!
I found these pictures on the Costumer’s Guide. She has compiled so many pictures of so many costumes from many movies. She doesn’t update her site anymore, unfortunately.
Fun post, Angelina! I’d love to have lived in that period and worn those beautiful dresses! Although, I would miss a pair of broken in jeans, though 😉

It would be fun to visit for a few days, but I would miss modern amenities in no time flat!
This is a fun post. All the pictures are gorgeous…it was a sumptuous time, despite “let them eat cake.”

Even though the French people hated the royals at the time, their legacy lives on and still brings millions of dollars into the French economy via tourism.

You’ll have to go dig it out and watch it! The visuals are so stunning… I often like to put it on the background and blog!
We were at Versailles in July but the Queen’s bedrooms were closed for renovations. The Hall of Mirrors is still spectacular. This movie is one of the most visually beautiful ever. Thanks for sharing.

Oh that is too bad they were closed, but there is still plenty of eye candy in that palace!
