PRIVATE ICON: MARIE ANTOINETTE
A modern-day take on the iconic Marie Antoinette.
Marie Antoinette was crowned the Queen of France at just 19, thrust into a life she was far from ready for. Still, she was painted by history as an adulterous spendthrift who lived a life of excess while the French people starved. Sofia Coppola's rendering of the iconic but ill-fated queen doesn't discount the rumeurs, it just shows her in a new light too. With a higher than hell 'do and ruby red lips, this Marie Antoinette ignited more than the French Revolution, indeed.
