Haughty in Green

Virginie Ledoyen portrays a haughty Yolande de Polignac - better known as the Duchesse de Polignac - in "Farewell, my Queen". This eye-catching green gown certainly would have caught everyone's attention among the soft pastels of the other ladies. The gown is decorated with exotic yellow flowers - the same yellow is used for the centre of the buttons.

The dress is a robe a l'anglaise with its closed bodice that reveal a matching bodice. It can be difficult to see from a distance but a flower ornament adorns the right shoulder of the Duchesse; of course the colours match. Surprisingly enough the sleeves are not decorated with any ruffles, extra satin or the like; the brightly coloured fabric with the yellow flowers has been brimmed up at the edge of the sleeve instead.

Delicate Princesse

Princesse de Lamballe wears this dress in Marie Antoinette (2006) in the scene where she goes to church with Marie Antoinette and Madame de Noailles. The most distinguishing feature of this dress is the "fur"-like material that is used to trim the dress all the way from the bodice to the hem of the gown. Also the four bows on the bodice stands out.
The over-all colour is pale pink and a darker shade of pink satin that is trimmed next to the white "fur".
The sleeves are also adorned with bows and trimmed with white lace.
