Marie Antoinette

Although Marie Antoinette is notoriously associated with the dismissive phrase “Let them eat cake” during the tumultuous French Revolution, historical evidence to back this claim is as elusive as a ghost! Yet, her legacy is forever entwined with this heartless quip, as her subjects starved for bread, painting her image with a thick brush of indifference.

Kirsten Dunst elegantly portrayed the iconic Marie Antoinette in a film that showcased her royal elegance and period-perfect fashion. Despite Antoinette’s infamous phrase, she was often considered a benevolent figure, extending kindness even to the common folk. But don’t be fooled; stepping into the shoes of a queen is no small feat; even in the world of make-believe, it’s a demanding role that requires dedication and finesse.
