Even aristocrats didn't dress like this 24/7. They had a style of dress called 'undress' that was like the 18th c. version of laying around the house in your sweatshirt.

They didn't.. In fact, it was a simple cotton dress worn by Marie Antoinette that helped solidify the aristocracies hatred of her. When Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun painted "La reine en gaulle" Marie Antoinette was scandalized by appearing in such a simple, immodest dress (it was comparable to being seen in her underwear). For the French nobility it was more evidence of how foreign, and rebellious, and licentious she was. This "cotton dress" eventually became popular throughout the continent, increasing demand for cotton, eventually leading to more slavery to the new world.

This was a very underrated movie, and I wish more people understood that this was NOT a historical documentary or biopic. This move was made for a MODERN audience to humanize a very misunderstood woman, who history has treated unfairly and inaccurately. She was a scapegoat for a country that was long overdue for a revolution, but unfortunately, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The financial mismanagement and decadence from the French monarchy before her, wasn't hers to shoulder alone, and the decadence and luxury while the poor starved was not entirely her problem, either. She came from the more laidback Austrian court, adapted to the high-maintenance French court, and never truly found her footing. The late HM Queen Elizabeth II was deemed to young to rule at 25, so Marie at 18 was in charge of France at the most vulnerable time in its history, an impossible task for any woman in any century. May the last Queen of France rest in honored glory.

I remember how much this movie was crapped on at the time, and now it's regarded as really creative.

Speak for yourself. It was and still is a terrible movie.

The visuals are enticing and mouth-watering, just as a teenage girl would see this situation, beautifully captured by the cinematographer and director. Marie Antoinette was a child bride who thought that she was a kid in a candy store, but dead women can’t wear or eat pretty things. Hedonism and pleasure do not equate with happiness, definitely not in the long-term. Someone should have taught her these lessons, but the ones that tried to reign her in were not strong enough or too late. Good, underrated film though. Unfortunately, Cannes didn’t appear to appreciate it as others have come to in the recent past.

So it seems like many people are confused why there are a pair of blue converses in one of th shots. According from what I’ve heard years ago. Apparently the Director wanted to show some creative symbolism that despite all the gowns and riches, it’s to remind us that Marie Antoinette was a teenager during this time. So that’s why there was a shot of the blue Converse shoes there. I’ve also heard of a theory that It is possible the film wants us to feel familiar with the modern aspects. Hence why in some moments, people act and talk like they are from more modern times. To give us a glimpse of the familiarity that the people had back then with their own era.

If you were rich enough to afford to eat like that, you were also rich enough to have beautiful new clothes tailored specifically to fit your body measurements.

Today it is the other way around and one expects their body to fit some random clothes bought of a rack.

one of things I think people miss when they see this movie just because its lost on us today, owning this many gowns and shoes was extremely opulent. Most people even someone of means only had a couple of outfits their whole life and would generally learn skills or have a maid mend them constantly. Fabric and getting brand-new gowns was super, super (I cannot stress this enough) expensive. Most people would rework, pin up or down, or make something new-ish out of something they already had. What Marie had was the highest level of luxury she was able to have any dress and not to mention sugary sweets. Also a fantastic luxury. Today all these things are far more affordable to the common person. Yet even today, getting a custom dress or outfit would be a decent amount of money for anyone.

I love how there is a pair of shoes at the start of the scene that have, historically speaking, nothing to do with that era. Lol😂
