Deluxe Marie Antoinette Wig

Product Information

On 27 April 1784 Beaumarchais's play The Marriage of Figaro premiered in Paris. Initially banned by the king due to its negative portrayal of the nobility, the play was finally allowed to be publicly performed because of the queen's support and its overwhelming popularity at court, where secret readings of it had been given by Marie Antoinette. The play was a disaster for the image of the monarchy and aristocracy. It inspired Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro, which premiered in Vienna on 1 May 1786.

But without a mistress to ridicule, political pornographers targeted the queen. I haven’t yet been able to figure out who was the official lead hair/wig designer(s) on the show (IMDB only lists stylists). The costumes were designed by two people: Madeleine Fontaine ( Versailles, Casanova, A Very Long Engagement) was the costume artistic director, while Marie Frémont (costume supervisor on Versailles and The Last Duel) was the official costume designer. Sure Halloween has come and gone, but you can’t beat this elaborate Marie Antoinette costume created by Elyse Regan for the ILM-Lucasfilm-LucasArts 2006 Halloween Costume party. It’s an amazing feat and detail in crafting. CRAFT friend Bonnie Burton got a chance to talk more with Elyse to find out how she created her elaborate look.

Take juice of water-lilies, of melons, of cucumbers, of lemons, each one ounce; briony, wild succory, lily-flowers, borage, beans, of each a handful: eight pigeons stewed. Put the whole mixture into an alembic, adding four ounces of lump sugar, well pounded, one drachma of borax, the same quantity of camphor, the crumb of three French rolls, and a pint of white wine. When the whole has remained in digestion for seventeen or eighteen days, proceed to distillation, and you will obtain pigeon-water, which is such an improvement of the complexion.” To offset her extremely pale skin, Marie would often apply rouge to her cheeks and lips. Marie’s coloring was usually procured from carmine, an insect-based pigment that was mixed with an acid, and then with alum. However, this combination was extremely expensive, so for everyone else, popular and cheaper alternatives included minium, also known as red lead, and cinnabar, the ore of mercury. Neither was known to be dangerous until the early 19th century. 9. Wear your hair big and bold.Elyse: I’ll find ways to wear it again! It was so much fun to have on! I already have a lady who wants me to wear it at one of her parties.

It was fun taking pictures with everyone and I loved all the little kid’s reactions the best. I was very happy people liked it so much… it make all the long nights of work worth it! Elyse: While I was doing research on Marie Antoinette I stumbled across a painting of her wearing a ship in her hair. I knew then that’s exactly what I wanted to do. Marie was famous for putting objects in her “poof” that represented a mood she was in or something that was going on in politics and war. She wore a ship to represent a battle that was won, but I cannot remember the exact one of the top of my head.

The hair comes up and off the face, with no bangs or ringlets framing the forehead, as is the sad case on almost every “costume wig” I’ve found for 18th c. The curls of this wig are actually quite natural, and it’s easy to fluff the hairstyle up and make it look pretty darn cute within a matter of minutes. It is also easy to create more distinct ringlets just by twirling the hair around your fingers. Castelot, André (1962). Marie-Antoinette. Paris, France: Librairie académique Perrin.
