Royal Affair: Kirsten Dunst and the cast of ‘Marie Antoinette’ (dir. Sofia Coppola) showcase the stunning powdered pastel costumes used in the movie as they lounge in a Parisian hotel for the famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, the story was featured in the September issue of Vogue US, 2006 - picture via Vogue

The costumes of ‘Marie Antoinette’ made the movie what it was; miles of tulle, silk and satin were used as well as 18th century lace to create an air of luxury, and the palette was based on a box of Ladurée macarons that Sofia handed to costume designer Milena Canonero which set the colour theme for the movie. Though, the costumes were not merely frivolous as the countless pieces worn were meant to reflect the style revolution as the characters evolved, making them a pivotal element of one of the most visually sweet movies ever produced.
