La Comtesse

Inspired by the controversial diamond necklace that Marie Antoinette’s father-in-law gave to his mistress, La Comtesse du Barry, this blue bridal ensemble of a pleated bustier and full skirt is adorned with scintillating crystals along the edge of the bustier.

A controversial figure in the court of Louis XVI, this blue bridal ensemble captures this contentious reputation alongside the beauty and finery that she enrobed herself in whilst being the king’s final courtesan with a lasting presence at Versailles.
