| MARIE ANTOINETTE 2006 “We chose colors and textures that remind you of things you would want to eat. We go from very pale and soft to more shocking. You can say we were very influenced by the period but we don’t present a classical vision. It’s more of a fashion statement. At times, it was very rock and roll,” says Milena Canonero, costume designer. For the footwear, Canonero utilized the designs of today’s trend-setting designer Manohlo Blahnik to create stylized versions of 18th century shoes. “They’re not 100% period, yet they have that kind of feeling,” she says. Canonero and Coppola chose a more natural look for Dunst, often using powder on her hair in the 18th century manner but also allowing her blonde hair to remain natural. next>>> Marie Antoinette (KIRSTEN DUNST) in one of her beautiful dresses
