Discover the truth behind the infamous quote "Let them eat cake" with a closer look at Marie Antoinette's legacy. Contrary to popular belief, it was her aunt, not Marie herself, who uttered those words. Surprisingly, the original context was a pragmatic suggestion during a bread shortage, proposing that cake be sold to peasants for the same price as bread. A practical solution, wouldn't you agree? Although Marie Antoinette's reputation for opulence precedes her, it's intriguing to delve into her lavish tastes. From her grand arrival in France at a young age with a lavish entourage to her extravagant wardrobe filled with yards of silk and towering wigs, she set a new standard for luxury and style. Each elaborate ensemble, including her iconic ship wig, became a statement piece akin to today's social media posts—it wasn't her words in newspapers but her fashion choices that captivated attention.
