When reviewing gender differentiation as a function of dress and understanding the style of dress from the Renaissance to the 18th Century, there is no way around thinking about Marie Antoinette in France during that time period. The men and women in her court wore lavish lavish dresses, wigs, make-up, etc., however, none of them could out-do her eccentric look. Their lifestyles completely matched their elaborate garments and looks as well. The men seen in these photographs wore tights, wigs, make-up, ruffles, etc. They look like how a man would dress in that time period yet isn't that crossing the line for any heterosexual male in today's society? "Let them eat cake!"
