Making the Marie Antoinette Ship Wig!

The Academy of Makeup Arts in Nashville puts its spin on the Marie Antoinette ship-wig in Beauty Through the Ages Episode 6!

Marie Antoinette never said let them eat cake. But the wig is spot on.

All are good until we come to the dress

[@alexistouss40]

Where are the paniers ? They put all the budget in the wig I guess

[@alexistouss40]

The wig is wonderful, but the dress...

[@Barbaraalca]

Increíble que eso tan estrafalario luciera tan hermoso me imagino eso en la cabeza de la realeza. Bellísimo ❤

That wig really sells the powdered wig look. Before this, I could not imagine a woman looking beautiful in it, but she does!

[@thomaslowdon5510]

The dress needs to be 3 times wider and really elaborate .ridiculously elaborate. Embrodered .bejewled and brocade.amd underskirted hoop with huge panniers oval in hoop not circular...impossible to walk in almost... its all about being seen. She is the queen with imeasurable wealth and arrogant to a fault self obsessed..

[@FreyaWarr]

Right! Like at least a petticoat…crinoline….a little tulle lol

[@allisonm2579]

I am by no means putting down the model as she is clearly very pretty but I think the make-up and wig maker, Madison is super pretty and could easily be a model. I love this wig but I agree with others commenting here that the dress could be much better. It's not bad though, just needs to be much more elaborate.

It looks like a dress off of wish.

1770's* but the wig looks amazing!

[@johnhendrickson300]

Marie was a total ship head

[@youngbrownin]

What wire is being used to make the cage?

[@Wally_Darling1960]

" We need more boats" Bitch I am the boat

[@invinciblecucumber]

Dress really cheapens whole look

[@lindsaygoodwin3140]

No kidding, they didn't even use basic foundation garments. Lloks like a kid's halloween costume.

[@donnieward2107]

How are you gonna do all this research? Take all the time, styling the wig hitting the cheap dress on. And not know that Marie Antoinette never said let them eat cake come on now

Wig is great, but the dress is historically inaccurate. She would’ve worn either Robe de la Francaise, or robe de la polanise. She also never said “Let them eat cake”. Her mother raised her with piety and charity, it’s unfathomable that she would say such a thing.
