Wow!: I was obsessively freezing frames and taking screenshots of scene 13 in Marie Antoinette, and noticed these not-so-period-shoes. Just did some research and found… “When Marie Antoinette is going through her shoes while preparing for a big party you see a pair of Converse All Star 1923 Chuck Taylor basketball shoes for about one and a half seconds. While these shoes were NOT in existence at the time of Marie Antoinette, their inclusion in the film was intentional - just as the use of hot pink in the movie’s costumes. Hot pink was not a color found in fashion or clothing at this period of history as it was introduced to the fashion world in the 1950’s.”
