At Vogue World 2025: Hollywood, Julia Garner steps into a new role for one night only: Marie Antoinette. The actor donned a faithful recreation of one of Kirsten Dunst’s 60-plus costumes for Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film, Marie Antoinette.
A mirror to the young queen’s lavish lifestyle at Versailles, the decadent dress—designed by Milena Canonero and reproduced by Tirelli especially for Vogue World Hollywood—takes a “more is more” approach. The cream gown is embellished with ruffles galore—tracing the contours of the bodice and skirt, not to mention its diaphanous frilly sleeves. Underneath the skirt is a layer of pink tulle, helping to give the dress its shape and adding a whimsical pop of color, seen in the film when Marie lies in repose, surrounded by plates of desserts, her shoe slipped onto her foot by a maid.
In place of the Manolo Blahnik shoes Dunst wore in the original film, Garner will hit the runway in a pair of the legendary footwear designer’s recent Marie Antoinette capsule collection, pink pointy-toe mules with baby blue laces and black contrast piping, which Lila Moss wore in the November 2025 issue of Vogue.
The ultra-stylish film earned Canonero an Oscar—one of her four. (Barry Lyndon, Chariots of Fire, and The Grand Budapest Hotel netted her other Academy Awards.) Now, it served as the inspiration for Louis Vuitton’s Nicolas Ghesquière, who channeled Canonero’s mastery of period costumes to create a drop-waist corset and structural, yet flowing skirt. Both looks will hit the runway tonight at Paramount Studios.
While we’re all waiting with bated breath for Julia Garner to star in the Madonna biopic, tonight, the actor is trading in Madge’s signature bullet bras for rococo royalty.
