How would the "It Girls" of yesteryears adapt to the current day beauty routines? With the help of AI, we can take a glimpse into their potential current day approach. Today we ask Marie Antoinette, archduchess of Austria and last Queen of France.
Salut ma belle,
Ah, the ever-turning tides of time! Were I to grace the world today, surrounded by all its modern conveniences, one would imagine my beauty rituals to be as indulgent, if not more so, than those of the Palace of Versailles. Yet, the essence would remain—opulence in every detail.

The dawn would greet me with the song of birds, but before attending to any royal duty, my day would commence with an invigorating cleanse using, I imagine, a delicate concoction of rose water and honey, reminiscent of the gardens of Trianon. This would be followed by serums and potions, with gold and pearls no doubt, to preserve the regal radiance of my skin.
Makeup, always an art form, would evolve. The powdered face and rouged cheeks of my time would give way to a more sophisticated palette. Still, my preference for pastels and a porcelain finish would reign supreme. I can envision glistening highlighters to accentuate my high cheekbones and soft, matte lip shades in blush and rose to replace the bold crimsons of yesteryears.

For the eyes, a subtle sweep of champagne shadows, perhaps with the faintest touch of glitter, to capture the luminescence of the court's chandeliers. Eyebrows would be immaculately sculpted, a far cry from the thin arcs of the 18th century.
My coiffure, ah! The emblematic pouf would undoubtedly transform. While I relished in the towering hairstyles adorned with feathers and trinkets, today's aesthetic might favor cascading waves of lustrous, well-conditioned hair, perhaps with the occasional jeweled accessory as a nod to tradition.
But beyond these surface adornments, the essence of beauty, to me, lies in splendor and extravagance, both in appearance and in spirit. In this modern age, I'd champion self-care in all its forms: luxurious baths infused with fragrant oils and rose petals, massages, and perhaps even these curious things I hear of called "spa days."
In essence, while the world and its customs might change, my pursuit of unparalleled luxury and elegance in beauty would remain unwavering.
As always....Let them have beauty!
