  • As Marie Antoinette matured Marie Antoinette became more responsible and less extravagant. She tried to change her image by wearing simple gowns, but her efforts had little effect on the unforgiving French public. The greatest damage to her reputation was created by a scandal that took place at the court of King Louis XVI of France just before the French Revolution - the Diamond Necklace Affair, in the mid 1780s. Although Marie Antoinette was innocent, the rumors ruined her reputation.
