Pretty pastels, winter floral's and crystals were some key fashion styles in Marie Antoinette's 1760s wardrobe. Her life was portrayed in a 2006 movie by Kirsten Dunst playing the lady herself.
Marie is known as a huge fan of fashion and a trend setter of her time, she is known for her extravagant spending on clothes, parties and accessories. Garments favoured by Marie were low cut at the chest and as her time in court grew over the years her garments grew wider at the hips and more lavish.
Marie's style can be imitated easily today with adding lavish accessories to any outfits, or wearing patterned and detail garments. Tight figure hugging garments are a alternative fashion to this extreme look, showing off a women's natural curves and body shape, curves that Marie's opulent garments emphasised to the extreme with the use of corsets and under skirts.
Chanel created a collection in 2013 using Marie Antoinette as inspiration.
