Marie Antoinette wasn’t just a queen – she was the blueprint. From towering wigs to lavish gowns and unapologetic self-expression, her influence still reigns centuries later. Today’s style icons can be seen in bright colours, pompadour pearls, dripping with jewels and sporting feathers just like Antoinette. Whether it’s corsets on the red carpet or floral fabulousness energy on stage, these celebrities are keeping the Rococo spirit alive and well in 2025.
Lil Nas X
Like Marie Antoinette, Lil’ Nas has a bold, baroque, unapologetic style. He regularly wears corsets, pearls, wigs, and historical-inspired silhouettes with a modern twist. Gold cape? Check! He is total court fashion drama. Marie Antoinette and Lil’ Nas would have made a great pair on the dancefloor, swishing their capes and cloaks around the room to adoring crowds!
Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish brings many incredible looks but her Old Hollywood meets Rococo glamour is evident on the red carpet. From oversized silhouettes to her more recent corseted Vogue covers, Billie plays with shape, decadence, and discomfort like Antoinette did. Bet it feels good to whip that stuff off at the end of the day and put the PJs on!
Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny blends masculinity and femininity with lavish, gender-bending fashion. Flared silhouettes, pearl accessories, and his Versace corset moment felt like 2020s Versailles. Marie Antoinette would have approved – and probably asked to borrow the pearls.
Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo is soft grunge meets royal rebellion. Like Marie Antoinette, her “vintage princess with angst” vibe leans into that Rococo dreamy aesthetic. In Olivia’s GUTS album music videos, she wears frilly dresses and tiaras with smeared mascara. Basically a teen Marie.
Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe has always dressed like a futurist noble from another dimension. She has sported structured silhouettes, ruffles, and luxe textures that scream revolutionary chic. Check out this flower outfit – Marie Antoinette would have swooned.
Zendaya
Okay so we know Zendaya is paying homage to Cinderella here, but how much would this look fit in Marie Antoinette’s court? Zendaya is often found sporting incredible looks, from lace to chains to jewels. Her and Marie would have no doubt had a fashion-off ending with a lip-sync for their lives! Yaaaas!
