A Closer Look: Every Dress Marie Antoinette Wears in the Film | Cultured Elegance

[@lynntravels]

It was this movie that started my fascination with 18th century fashion.

[@CulturedElegance]

I can completely see why!!

[@Kinglouisxvi1790]

Glad you like it

[@callateyescucha8860]

I feel the same

[@brianaschmidt910]

For me it was just prior attire and the fact that our nation basically got started around this time period. (Liberty kids is so amazingly well done)

[@unwichtig5884]

One of my favourite movies of all time. That‘s when I fell in love with historic fashion.

[@CulturedElegance]

I agree!!! I can see why!

[@mariemorgan7759]

Such beautiful gowns, I love those gowns from the 1790s. So impractical for today, but I would love to wear them!

[@buckshot1488]

I love the makeup in this film as well.

[@djahant]

15:01 I love this so much. It's just so flowy and beautiful in this scene. I love these looks much more than the court gowns. Of those, I liked the light blue traveling dress she wore when she arrived. I am just blown away by the costuming in this film. I've watched it at least 5 times just for that. And Kiersten was the perfect canvas. Thank you so much for this video. Otherwise, I'd be watching it again! 😉

[@theartistsan2375]

just found your channel and god im obsessed, listen im weak for historical fashion and this is *feeding* me the drama these historical pieces have been flaunting *never stop uploading i need this type of luxury in my life*

[@CulturedElegance]

Thank you so so much!! Comments like yours make it all worth while!!

[@danielledenis5160]

One of my favorite movies....the costumes are absolutely brilliant!

[@kimberlypatton205]

The costumes and shoes in this movie are exquisite!

[@Sweetthang9]

I always feel torn by this kind of media because, while absolutely exquisitely gorgeous and sumptuous, it represents a horrible disparity in wealth. I find I can't think of one without the other. That being said. The brocade dress with the hat and salmon gloves are a favorite of mine, also the buttercup yellow pet au lair (sp?) with the vibrant pink skirt is a stunning combination. I also love the zone front she wears on the Vogue cover!

[@beautyallaroundme724]

Everything (including her gowns) was to beautiful back then, it almost makes me drool. 😄😍🥰

[@CulturedElegance]

I feel the same!!🤗😍

[@pixiebells]

This is one of my most favorite movies of all time! I was so thrilled you made a video about it! 😊 I just wish you'd talk more about what each outfit symbolizes or represents about her life. That's one of my favorite things about costuming; what it symbolizes, what it represents, how it helps tell the story. You did mention it a bit when she told her dressmaker she wanted something more simple, but I think especially with such an incredible life she had, discussing what the outfits symbolized throughout the entire video would have been even more powerful. Excellent video! ❤ 👗🌸

[@CulturedElegance]

It’s an incredible film! Love that idea and will have to do that for another video! Thank you

[@Ug1i]

I would love to see this as a series like Catherine the great Elizabeth w cate blanchette Would be fun to see the differences from the way Hollywood portrays that eras difference between the 90s and now and if it’s more accurate or less now❤

[@CulturedElegance]

Love this idea!! Thank you for your comment and recommendation

[@baylorsailor]

Marie Antoinette was released in 2006.

[@Ug1i]

@@baylorsailor 2006 is in 90s-now, No?

[@GwenWittig]

I love the rose print gown in the meadow scene. Inviting and cool with a great flow it appears to accent her beauty even more. The 'cottage peasant' dresses are also fashioned in the same manner but offer a more relaxed vulnerability with them. I love this film and and the array of absolutely stunning pieces that all the actors wore.

[@almutphilipp4057]

All dresses are beautifull and seem to be an explosion of colours. I really love those, who are more natural. I also like natural hair without powder.

[@ritalawson7020]

All of the gowns ate lovely

[@bonusgolden12]

The patterned dresses at 3:50 are my favorite. Those prints were so beautiful in the sun, fluttering in the breeze.

[@sharontisherman7619]

They are all so very beautiful!!!❤️

[@CulturedElegance]

I think so too!💓

[@alexandralindgren6438]

Hello! I live in Sweden and I love historical gowns. My dream is to open a museum and show historical gowns but my father says that Sweden is too small for that kind of project.

[@Madi-ls5uu]

That would be really neat! I'd come visit it from the Midwest usa.

A great presentation. Very informative. Thank you

[@danicacarlos1256]

I love the costuming in this film. Thanks for the great video. This movie is the reason why I got invested in poor Marie Antoinette.

[@CulturedElegance]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joywetzel4640]

I love this. So beautiful and informative. Wow a lot of time and work went into this. So well done!!!!! BRAVO

[@EllanDay-hz2ib]

They are all very beautiful with brilliant trimmings……. Bravo !👍👍👍

[@LaHayeSaint]

Cultured Elegance -- I would have loved to have worn any one of these gorgeous gowns. But I would stop short of wanting to be Marie Antoinette, as I believe she lost her head during the French Revolution on the guillotine. Is there a place we can go to see these gowns, such as a museum for historical French fashion.

[@MonicaVartolomeiFDDLP]

Her lifestyle up to that point would be worth it. I would have preferred her fate to mine.

[@LaHayeSaint]

@@MonicaVartolomeiFDDLP Vartotrad -- You don't need to be a queen, or to have hundreds of pretty dresses to lead a contented life. But you do need your head!

[@dead2802]

Yes! And the sad thing was, Marie and her family made it to an inn Almost within a mile of the Austrian border where they would have been safe. Unfortunately, they were recognized by someone who noticed some Tiny discrepancy in I believe, her husbands hands or something very tiny!

[@LaHayeSaint]

@@dead2802 Dead -- Possibly, Marie Antoinette looked too resplendent in her clothing and appeared as an aristocrat rather than a common peasant. But to be caught 1 mile away from freedom. How sad! If I were 1 mile from freedom I would walk the last leg, even in the rain, and cross the frontier into Austria at night. Marie Antoinette did not endear herself to the French people, looking after No 1 first all the time.

[@lisamannmann5559]

to dress like this would be so much fun

[@baylorsailor]

Easier to tell you my least favorite dress; the wedding dress. It's hard to choose otherwise. They are all so beautiful!

[@annchopin3301]

Amazing! I love this movie. 💕

[@theblackrose7935]

The black gown is to die for!

[@dead2802]

The black is beautiful. My other favorite is the lavender? lilac? purple. Whatever, that her husband says is the color of a flea? lol. I'd love to own these 2 and wear them.

[@natalie_watson]

One of my fav movies.. and Kirsten Dunst has and will always be sooooooo underrated... she is a brilliant actress.. her expressions more so than even her dialogues are always so deep and complex.. she can say a lot with out saying anything.. and she has always resonated with me.. but that could just be me and my bias due to the age I was when Sofia Coppolas "The Virgin Suicides" came out.. was truly obsessed and still kinda am with that film..an ofcourse its...LUX😏 But no for real love everything about this gorgeous movie.

[@elexis3728]

I just stumbled across your channel yesterday while searching for anything on “Truman’s Swans” and now I have a long list of your videos saved to catch up on. Each video I have watched already is so nicely done. As many times as I’ve seen this movie you point out so many beautiful details I missed and it’s really nice to hear the history behind the looks.

[@meameab1824]

The white floral gowns I loved!!! ❤

[@ann5765]

I love this movie!

[@dead2802]

I Have to see it! So Many gowns costing So much. Really makes the movie. I wonder with these 2 dozen or so what is done w them. Some could be made over for other films. Many maybe sold/auctioned. Add the number of gowns the other ladies wore. And I cant believe Kirsten didnt arrange to buy/keep a favorite for herself! ❤❤❤🏰🗼

[@mamareed810]

These costumes for the men & women are beautiful. The costumes should be on a World Wide Tour depicting the era that they would have been worn.

[@shanasapp6212]

As pretty as the dresses were, I found them to be too plain for Marie Antoinette to wear. She wasn't just the last queen of France, she was a fashion icon, all eyes of Europe were on her. So when she stepped out for a night on the town, she did more then some silk dresses with a few ribbons. She change European fashion, this movie did not give her true credit. Norma Shearer's 1938 version of Marie Antoinette is incredible, even the extras were "extra". No one was left out. Unfortunately, the studio spent so much on the costumes, they ran out of money and had to film in black and white instead of color.

[@Françoise-j9t]

Ce n est pas la dernière reine de France. Même si la dernière n a reigné que quelque mois

[@Violet-du9bk]

I love all of them!

[@dead2802]

So strange a coincidense in finding this. Was reading a book about her life when historical fashion just dropped. One was the decades of the 1800s styles. The next, Marie Antoinette! Both are sooo beautiful and amazing. Would Love to go to those times. Experience life, and wear the beautiful clothing. Though, probably at most, only about 15-20% of ladies could afford even one fashionable gown, made of much cheaper material, and very simple. Still....❤❤❤

[@lisamannmann5559]

Supposedly, according to the stories, the clothes she brought with her from Austria were all stolen. They were divvied up among the women who were "escorting" her to the Royal family.

[@morticialilas3229]

I was told once i owned 2 actual capes by Marie Antoinette aquired from my relations.I foolishly gave one away+the velvet with silk lining is now so threadbare disintegrating because i display it rather than pack to preserve.The blue hooded cape i gave up was velvet with lilac satin or silk lining with her embroidered inscription on a small secret pocket.I cant believe i let it go.

[@franciscamartinezverdugo9458]

Where are all the dresses now?

Hi my favourite is samice ❤

[@Marie-FranceAUDBERT-MONDLOCH]

Je me souviens de ce film très beau à regarder, avec des robes resplendissantes, mais la musique moderne n'était pas du tout adéquate. Dommage...

[@elenawalczyk5927]

Every historical movie from 1920s and up to now is done with contemporary fashion in mind… While it could be pretty I wish costume designers and hairdressers would stick with TRUE style of epoch shown in the film - it would create much more interesting and educating content for viewers…

[@AlessandroTosoni]

The dresses she wears are the same at 16:10 and 18:38, no?

[@StKildaBlvd]

Why did she wake with a new nightgown? Would she get changed during the night?

Outfits of The 'Duchess' will do.

[@michellewheatley2007]

Was there a purpose that the majority of the wardrobe is blue?

[@aliciasipocz8406]

Blue was said to be Marie Antoinettes preferred colour. (According to the journals of some ladies in waiting, numerous paintings, and the colour of her private rooms)

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

Why did they let her grown-off roots show in the early hair-down looks? It looks terrible and completely out of place.

[@CulturedElegance]

Good point

[@isabelleskiss]

This bothered me too...but I think Sofia Coppola wanted to give her a cool girl vibe with the modern pop music and the sloppy blonde hair.

[@noor_o6__]

A bad movie from an American point of view. Sports shoes in the movie appeared deliberately and rock music in the movie. Even this actress does not resemble Queen Marie Antoinette.

[@ann5765]

I love this movie!!!❤
