Metallic Majesty

Jason Schwartzman portrays Louis XVI in "Marie Antoinette" in which he wears this costume in several scenes. The most dominating feature is the metallic blue coat and the matching trousers. The colour is enough in itself which could be why there is no embroidery on the coat as is
custom. Large baby blue buttons dominates the inner seam instead. The coat is lined with what appears to be white silk or satin. Also, the lace at the end of the sleeves are not as dominating as in other costumes worn by Louis.
In the dinner scene (top photos to the left) he is wearing the royal blue sash but has chosen to discard of it in the more private settings of a gaming night with his brothers, sisters-in-law and wife. The waist-coat makes a nice contrast to the sharp blue colour with its cream-coloured base and golden embroideries. The waist-coat is cut in a manner to make the lace at the neck really come to its' own right. I love the little detail with the pocket watch on the second last photo. On both the top and the bottom photo (two different scenes, by the way) the King is wearing a pendant in the star-shape of an order. The white enamelled star is hanging from a ribbon which matches the royal blue sash perfectly.

Bright Colours for a Troubled Mind

This costume is worn in the third part of BBC's series on Versailles "Countdown to Revolution" by Louis XVI. The coat and the waistcoat is made of the same very bright beige with embroideries of a darker shade. The trousers however are completely white (and of silk) - it is quite uncommon to see a monarch from the 18th century wearing white trousers, even at their weddings they are mostly depicted in gold, silver or beige. The pale blue royal sash is fastened by a large diamond star brooch. The King wears a diamond-embedded order on his coat. The white neck-ruff is very discreet - this is historically accurate since this particular piece of clothing was going out of favour during Louis XVI's reign. Remarkably large pieces of lace has been attached to the opening of the sleeves. The buttons are of the same beige colour and has also been used to hold the sleeves pinned up which reveals the same kind of embroidery used at the edge of the waistcoat and coat.

Sky Blue Royalty

This set worn by Xavier Beauvois as Louis XVI in "Farewell, my Queen" is actually reused in the movie with a different waistcoat. The coat and the trousers are made of sky blue silk adorned with golden embroideries of golden sheaves. The King is wearing the royal sash across his chest right beneath the white lace ruffles at the neck. The coat is lined with a golden fabric on the inside which can just be spotted thanks to the wind. On both occasions he carries a black walking stick with him with a golden knob for a handle. Besides, a sword hangs from his left side.
The waistcoat on the first two pictures are made of golden silk in the same tone as the embroideries. However, the colour is changed in the last picture to a matching sky blue that has also been embroidered. Due to the sunlight and the pale tone of the fabric the star-shaped brooch adorned with diamonds can hardly be seen.

Orange for the King

This costume was featured in "Farewell, my Queen" and was worn by Xavier Beauvois as Louis XVI.  The colour is very unusual for an entire ensemble but it actually is rather beautiful. The golden orange is only broken of by the sky-blue sash. Once again we a brooch of a significant size but it does not seem to be the same as the one on other photos.
The lace at the neck and the sleeves are lightly coloured to match the satin of the coat and trousers. The coat is embroidered at the buttons with warm tones of red and green. This embroidery also appears at the end of the sleeves.

Dark and Simple

The costume to the right is worn by Antoine Gouy when he portrayed Louis XVI in "L'évasion de Louis XVI" (The Downfall of Louis XVI).

The colour of the long coat is not black as it appears to be at first glance. In the sun-light, you can see that the fabric is dark blue - almost purple. The sash is baby blue (the same sash figured in two previous posts of Louis XIV and Louis XV) - also the brooch on his left appears in these posts. The coat is trimmed with a golden fabric which is also used in the vest he wears underneath.
The lace at the neck has been shortened extremely much since Louis XIV's time and is now merely a decoration.
The red order stands out in contrast to the dark colour. He is also wearing black leather gloves.

This lovely hat is a part of his ensemble. It is trimmed with the same fabric as the coat but the edge of the hat is adorned with white feathers.
