Never Noticed the Converse Chuck Taylors Low Ride....

She did it to create a connection with Marie Antoinette. I think in an interview or commentary she mentioned how those shoes were meant to bridge the gap - help graphically illustrate that this was just a young girl who didn't know any better - a kid.


Best of the year:Inside Out, Whiplash, 12 Years a Slave, Life of Pi, Drive

She said she did it because she could. In my opinion it adds nothing to the film, and kinda puts the entire film into question.
