A Revolutionary look (minus the guillotine)

For a place with a storied history of excess, Versailles has long outfitted its staff in some pretty drab attire. But that's set to change, thanks to Agnès B. The French designer unveiled new designs for the palace staff's official uniforms yesterday, and they're a marked improvement: Her sketches and photos (pictured) reveal an 18th-century-style look that wouldn't seem too out of place on today's Montparnasse (give or take the tricorn hat).
