The Queen of France is now well-known for her trailblazing sense of style that was largely influenced by modest Victorian motifs. This AnOther Magazine editorial was orchestrated by photographer Ben Toms. With the help of stylist Robbie Spencer, the duo created a modern take on the historic look. Although Antoinette's manner of dress was rather demure, Spencer and Toms have concentrated upon the same use of ruffles, bustiers and haute headpieces, only with a series of [sensual undertones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat). See-through skirts and excessively high heels made this readily apparent, along with [cut-out dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026) and translucent chiffon skirts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Modern Marie Antoinette Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create modern interpretations of historic styles with sensual undertones. - **Revival of Victorian Motifs:** Potential for designers to incorporate modest Victorian motifs into contemporary fashion trends. - **Translucent and Cut-out Fashion:** Potential for innovative fashion designers to explore the use of see-through skirts, cut-out dresses, and translucent chiffon skirts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can tap into the demand for modern Marie Antoinette-inspired fashion, Victorian motifs, and innovative designs. - **Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to creatively capture and modernize historic styles in editorial and fashion photography. - **Styling:** Stylists can experiment with combining historic fashion elements with modern sensuality to create visually striking looks for photoshoots and fashion campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Timelessly Charming Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mi-amor-collection.md) - [Gingham-Forward Apparel Edits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-amorys-gingham-edit.md) - [Holiday-Inspired Evening Wear Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcqueen-holiday-2025.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md)
