The Fashion Film Club presents this screening of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, followed by a Q&A with Sarah Grant, Senior Curator at the V&A Museum. Sarah is the Curator of Marie Antoinette Style at the V&A.

A portrait of Marie Antoinette, a naïve teenager who was entirely unprepared to take her place in the turbulent history of late 18th century France. The Austrian born princess was sent off to Versailles at 14, where she was lost in the rigid etiquette, brutal family infighting and merciless gossip of the French royal court. Forced to live her life in the unforgiving glare of the public spotlight, she found her escape in the sensual pleasures of youth. But her frivolity unwittingly made her the object of scandal and a convenient scapegoat for a society on the verge of revolution. (Festival de Cannes)

The film won the Oscar for Best Costume Design.

The Q&A will be hosted by Fashion Film Club founder Sarah Bailey. The V&A exhibition will run until March 22, 2026.
