Marchesa has created gowns for Miss Havisham-type Victorian princesses (fall 11, later worn by Penelope Cruz at the Cannes Film Festival), Japanese princesses conceived by 20s explorer Aimee Crocker (spring 18, later worn by Julianne Hough at the Emmys), and Neoclassical princesses painted by artist William-Adophe Bougeuereau (fall 12, later worn by Kristen Stewart at the premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman )
