Best Answer

By marrying the heir to the throne, who 4 years later became Louis XVI. She herself was the daughter of the Holy Roman Empress and Archduchess of Austria, so she was by far the most suitable bride.

It was an arranged marriage that Maria Theresa (the mother of Marie Antoinette and Empress of Austria) and Louis XV (the grandfather of Louis XVI and King of France) arranged. Austria and France had been long time enemies and Maria Theresa and Louis XV thought it might do good to their relationship to have their countries united by a marriage of their (grand-)children.
