Military Monarch

Another piece from "the Man in the Iron Mask" starring Leonardo diCaprio as Louis XIV. This style is more militaristic than the embroidered silk attires the King would normally wear. It seems that the King is wearing three layers (or maybe it's just shadow?): the coat, a black undercoat and the damask vest. The latter is very beautiful and despite the rather simple look it is definitely luxurious: the grey/brown fabric is buttoned with golden buttons to match the outer coat. Also, a chain with a golden clasp hangs across the King's waist; it is probably holding his sword. And of course there is the mandatory piece of fine white lace hung around the neck and tied with black velvet.

The Sun King

Samuel Theis wears this ensemble when he portrays Louis XIV on "Versailles: le rêve d'un Roi". It is inspired by a contemporary drawing of the King that depicts him dressed to match his name: with many references to the Sun.
The torso is covered in what appears to be a golden breastplate that continues down to the middle of the thighs. A darker brown-grey sash draws attention to the waist. The sleeves are light golden and could possibly be made of organza or the like. The volume is enormous and a string folds at the elbow hereby enabling the King to bend his arm and keep the shape of the sleeve. The hoses are closely fitted and the colour almost matches that of the sash except that it is browner.
A garter of golden bronze has been placed just beneath the knee to hold up two white laces. The shoes and socks match each other and are of the same colour. A large bow has been attached to each shoe.

The head-piece stands out due to the massive size and the bright white colour. Large feathers adorns the middle of the costume and either side is flanked by ruffs separated by golden strings.

The lower picture is a drawing of a young Louis XIV portraying Apollo, the Sun God, with whom the King identified with the most. The costume from the move has obviously been inspired by this drawing - even the wig's colour is the same.

Red & Golden Coat

This costume was featured in "The Man in the Iron Mask" from 1998, starring Leonardo di Caprio as Louis XIV. The costume's sleeves are typical of the 17th century with their wide hem. The coat is a lush red and there are blue flowers and golden straws embroidered with golden thread.
Under the heavy coat, the Sun King is wearing a dark vest with what appears to be golden buttons. The large hem of the white shirt is laced - the same lacing also appears at the neckline.
