Is it luck? Is it fate? Is it a combination of both? Whatever it was, it's certainly gilded the life of a certain young ballet dancer in the late 1800s. She took France by storm, artists flocked to paint and sculpt her, photographers turned up in droves to capture her likeness.
The way she wore her hair, the tilt of her head, the coyness in her eyes. All of this was the perfect ingredients to capture the hearts of the French public. Even the king of Belgium fell head over heels in love.
Largely forgotten by today's youth, she was bigger than Taylor Swift in her time.
