King Louis XIV's mistress, Madame de Pompadour, was known for her elaborate and extravagant hairstyles, often featuring towering structures that included curls, ribbons, and decorative elements like feathers and flowers. One of the most iconic styles associated with her was the "Pouf," which was characterized by its height and intricate design, symbolizing both wealth and fashion of the French court during the 18th century. These hairstyles became a significant trend and were emulated by many women of the time.

What did madame de pompadour do?

Jeanne, Marquise ( feminine of Marquis) du Pompadour was a French noblewoman who became insinuated in politics of the time and was a virtual mistress of King Louis XV. She is nearly aways called Madame Du Pompadour, or Pompadour and rarely by her first name, surely no Saint! The attractive ( and she looked very mature in a sort of Catherine II style) Madame was active in French politics and intrigues up to her death in l765. I do not know how she died. It was natural causes, but that is all I know. Pompadour is, of course a hair style, which was effected by among others Amelia Earhart and the actress Georgia Southen, both Redheads.
