The Costumes: Trust the French to get one up on us in the fashion stakes (sort of). Funking up the sexy 1700s, these extravagant threads are all about hot summertime shades and frivolous ruffles.

The Constrictions: Drawing parallels between celebrity/youth culture and the life of a fledgling Marie Antoinette, Sofia Coppola delights in forcing her teen queen to live under a strangulating amount of scrutiny. Poor doll can’t even have sex privately.

If They Changed Costumes: Marie just wants to break free. So why not let her, by grunging her up as an Almost Famous-style groupie? More parties, more men and (most importantly) sex behind closed stage doors.
