👑 Before Instagram, There Was Marie Antoinette—the Original Fashion Influencer!

Long before social media, Marie Antoinette set the standard for trendsetting. In 18th-century France, women looked to the Queen for style cues, mimicking every extravagant detail of her wardrobe. ✨

Known for her lavish lifestyle, Marie Antoinette popularized towering hairstyles (sometimes topped with feathers—or ships! ⛵), silk gowns, corsets, and ornate accessories. Her bold fashion wasn’t just admired—it was imitated far beyond Versailles.

Her influence didn’t stop at the French court. Across Europe, women tried to replicate her look. And get this—miniature dolls 👗 dressed in her latest outfits were sent to royal courts as fashion guides. These “poupées” acted as the 18th-century version of lookbooks, showing exactly how to style the season’s must-haves.

In a world without Instagram or TikTok 📱, Marie’s style still went viral—proof that fashion influence has always transcended borders and bandwidth.
