Directed by: Sofia Coppola
Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Rip Torn, Judy Davis, Jason Schwartzman
Revealing mistake: Kirsten Dunst's contact lenses can be seen multiple times during close-ups.
Revealing mistake: Marie-Antoinette is shown to always be naked under her chemise, as was customary back them. But Kirsten Dunst's underwear can be seen through it many times in the movie, especially when she is going to bed and the chemise stretches over her body.
Deliberate mistake: In the scene where Marie is trying on shoes, a pair of powder blue high top Converse sneakers can be seen next to her feet. It must have been done intentionally, but since there is no trace of modern apparel anywhere else in the film (the closest would be the mere mention of hot pink dress fabric but, as it's not shown, we don't know what exactly Marie calls "hot pink") these shoes (and the fabric) can't be considered part of a thematic element or artistic license.

Madame du Barry: See no one treats me like a lady here.

Answer: That was just the custom then. Total nudity was considered inappropriate, if not immoral, even when bathing, which people did infrequently or not at all because it was thought to be unhealthy.
