Madame Du Barry
After Madame de Pompadour’s death in 1764, Louis XV needed a new mistress. Madame Du Barry became his second official mistress and became one of the most powerful women in France until the French Revolution. If she were alive today, Madame Du Barry’s soft features and full hair would give her the potential to be famous. She could easily be an Instagram model or the new star of your favorite television drama.
