Event
Marie Antoinette Style at the V&A
Join Dr. Sarah Grant, Senior Curator of Prints at the V&A and curator of the exhibition for a lecture on Marie Antoinette Style.
Opening in September 2025, the V&A will host the UK’s first ever exhibition on Marie Antoinette, exploring the origins and countless revivals of the style shaped by the most fashionable queen in history. A fashion icon in her own time, the dress and interiors modelled and adopted by the ill-fated Queen of France in the final decades of the eighteenth century have had a lasting influence on over 250 years of design, fashion, film and decorative arts. Through a wide range of objects and media, from couturier’s gowns to audio visual installations, the exhibition will explore how and why Marie Antoinette has provided a constant source of inspiration and consider afresh the legacy of a complex figure whose style, youth and notoriety have all contributed to her timeless appeal.
