Julia Garner's Fashionable Transformation: From Hollywood to Rococo Royalty
In a dazzling display of fashion's transformative power, Julia Garner is set to captivate audiences at Vogue World 2025: Hollywood. Stepping into the role of Marie Antoinette, Garner will embody the opulence and extravagance of the young queen's life at Versailles. This evening, she will grace the runway in a stunning recreation of one of Kirsten Dunst's iconic costumes from Sofia Coppola's 2006 film, Marie Antoinette. The dress, designed by Milena Canonero and specially crafted for Vogue World Hollywood, is a testament to the 'more is more' aesthetic. With its cream fabric adorned with an abundance of ruffles, it meticulously traces the contours of the bodice and skirt, while its diaphanous frilly sleeves add a touch of whimsy. The dress is further enhanced by a layer of pink tulle beneath the skirt, providing structure and a playful pop of color, reminiscent of a famous scene in the film where Marie Antoinette lies at rest, surrounded by an array of desserts.
Garner's interpretation of Marie Antoinette will also feature a unique twist. Instead of the Manolo Blahnik shoes Dunst wore in the original film, she will don a pair of pink pointy-toe mules from the legendary footwear designer's recent Marie Antoinette capsule collection. These shoes, with their baby blue laces and black contrast piping, were previously worn by Lila Moss in the November 2025 issue of Vogue. The attention to detail extends beyond the dress and shoes, as the ultra-stylish film itself earned Canonero an Oscar for Best Costume Design, one of her four Academy Awards (the others being Barry Lyndon, Chariots of Fire, and The Grand Budapest Hotel).
The inspiration for this spectacular ensemble lies in Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquière collection, who drew upon Canonero's period costume expertise to create a drop-waist corset and a structured yet flowing skirt. These looks will be showcased on the runway at Paramount Studios tonight. While fans eagerly await Julia Garner's portrayal in the upcoming Madonna biopic, her transformation into rococo royalty at Vogue World 2025: Hollywood promises to be a memorable spectacle, blending Hollywood glamour with the opulence of Marie Antoinette's era.
