The 20th anniversary of Sofia Coppola’s film ‘Marie Antoinette’ is being marked by several commemorative events. Initial celebrations include the release of a new documentary, ‘Making Marie Antoinette’, which examines the film’s production and its post-punk and new wave aesthetic. Related activities include a book signing by Coppola in Paris.

Following these announcements, it was confirmed that the Palace of Versailles will host an exhibition at the Petit Trianon from September 22, 2026, to January 24, 2027. Developed in collaboration with Coppola, the exhibition focuses on the film’s visual influence on fashion and beauty, specifically highlighting elements such as the theatrical hairstyles designed by Odile Gilbert. The event also touches upon the historical beauty rituals of the real Marie-Antoinette, noting her use of botanical tonics and frequent baths.

In September 2026, the documentary ‘Making Marie Antoinette’ premiered at the Telluride Film Festival. Directed by Eleanor Coppola, the film utilizes approximately 80 hours of archival footage captured during the original production. Eleanor and Sofia Coppola began organizing the material during the 2020 lockdown. Following Eleanor Coppola’s death in 2024, Sofia Coppola completed the project as a producer to serve as a tribute to her mother. The documentary features Eleanor’s diary entries, read by Diane Lane, providing insight into the filmmaking process and the mother-daughter relationship.
