—Audrey Bourgeois, "Style Queen" | ||
Audrey Bourgeois is a recurring antagonist of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. She is the famous director of the fashion magazine, Style Queen. She is also the ex-wife of André Bourgeois and the mother of Noé Luxus, Chloé Bourgeois and Zoé Lee[11], all three fathered by different fathers. She was living in Paris, but she is now currently staying in London with Chloé.
In "Style Queen", which is part of the "Queen's Battle" special, after being humiliated by Gabriel Agreste, Audrey was akumatized by Hawk Moth into Style Queen, a glitter-themed supervillain.
In "Heart Hunter", when Audrey and her husband argued with each other during their 20th wedding anniversary, they were akumatized into Heart Hunter, a love-devouring supervillain.
In "Optigami", after being humiliated on live television by Sentialec, Audrey was reakumatized by Shadow Moth into Style Queen, bent on getting revenge on any who defied her. Ladybug also hid a Magical Charm in Audrey's hat, in order to prevent her from being reakumatized.
In "Revolution", after Chloé lost her position as Mayoress of Paris, she and Audrey left for London where she vows to take control of her daughter's life again, no longer loving or respecting her.
Appearance
Physical Appearance
Audrey is a slender fair-skinned woman with golden-blonde hair that is cut into a sharp bob with short bangs that frame her face, blue eyes and she has a round heart-shaped face that is obscured by a pair of dark oval-shaped shades which cover her eyes.
Audrey physically resembles her daughter Chloé Bourgeois with the exception of her hair color, which is a couple of shades darker than honey blonde.
Civilian Attire
Audrey wears a white strapless jumpsuit with a thick black stripe down the right side that is long in length and bares around the shoulder blades. On her head, she adorns a black hat with black-and-yellow color stripes on the underside, yellow hat band and a black-and-yellow flower on the left side. She occasionally wears a pair of dark, oval-shaped sunglasses that cover her eyes. She wears a pair of bright golden high-heel shoes and white evening gloves which reach up to just under her elbows. She wears a gold ring with a modern design on her ring finger, though it is uncertain whether this is her wedding band or not and a golden bangle-like necklace around her neck with black gemstones and white outlines.
As Style Queen
Style Queen had bright and sparkly golden skin and teeth, moderate gamboge sclerae and very dark gold eyes. She wore sunglasses with very dark gold shades over her eyes and her head appeared to have pulled-back gilded hair in the style of a crown with five very dark ambers pointed stones attached around the front. She wore a golden strapless jumpsuit designed with vertical strips of cloth with a black strap on her left shoulder and pointed very deep gold edges around each leg. She also had medallion high-heeled boots. She held a long-gilded staff/scepter, having a bud-shaped tip with a black chevron line around it on top.
As Heart Hunter
As Heart Hunter, Audrey's body did not exist and she had pale, light grayish crimson face skin, a smaller nose, vivid raspberry colored-upside down heart shaped-earrings, vivid amaranth eyes and brilliant amaranth eyebrows and flapper styled hair.

Personality
Audrey is a bossy and demanding woman who only accepts what she wants and is "exceptional". She is considered to be "the harshest fashion critic in the world" and has no problem causing a fuss for those who do not meet her demands, such as having an issue with the red carpet being made out of fabric instead of marble. Like her daughter Chloé Bourgeois, Audrey has a fierce and explosive temper who will get upset over minor things, such as being denied a front-row seat. She also will attempt to "fire" anyone who displeases her.
To an extent, Audrey seems to have little care for her family, or at least their opinions. She expected her ex-husband André Bourgeois to agree to her demands of firing anyone she dislikes. When she is akumatized, she does allow Chloé to assist her but fires her the moment she catches her helping Ladybug. However, this changes after Audrey learns how much she has in common with her daughter and decides to spend more time in Paris with her. But even this does not last though, because after she and Chloé were banished from Paris, Audrey becomes devoted to being an abusive mother in complete control of Chloé's life rather than teaching her to be a better person or even caring for her, much like how Gabriel Agreste abused Adrien Agreste.
Audrey proves to be a neglectful mother to her children, only paying them attention once they achieve success.
Audrey only showed interest in Chloé when she noticed that she shared her haughty and domineering attitude, but she never truly cared about loving her or fulfilling a maternal role. Although she was proud of Chloé for ruling Paris "with an iron fist," her pride turned to humiliation when Chloé was dethroned from her position as mayor. At that point, Audrey reprimanded her, stating that "the Bourgeois don't raise losers," and took her to London with the intention of controlling her life, showing her neither affection nor understanding.
As for Zoé, Audrey completely ignored her from a young age, leaving her at a boarding school in New York under her father's supervision. When Zoé expressed her desire to move to Paris, Audrey reluctantly agreed and remained indifferent to her life, even supporting Chloé in her attempt to send her back to New York. Although Zoé tried to imitate her mother to gain her approval, she eventually accepted that Audrey would never truly accept her and decided to get closer to André, who became her true parental figure.
Audrey is rather bold as she doesn't seem fazed by the Akumatized villains. In "Malediktator", she didn't seem worried by her husband's akumatization and even made non-stop remarks that it doesn't make him a better father. In "Queen Wasp", when she was stung and paralyzed by a wasp controlled by her daughter, her position shows that she wasn't scared by her, to where everyone else in the hotel was paralyzed when trying to flee from Queen Wasp. She isn't ignorant about the dangers going on in Paris as seen in "Mayura" where she prepares to go off in the helicopter after the string of akumatizations by Scarlet Moth.
As Style Queen, she was more malicious and vengeful, but still tends to forget names quickly. Her main goal was getting revenge against Gabriel for giving her a second-row seat at his fashion show instead of a front-row seat. When he was nowhere to be found, Style Queen instead turned his son into a glittering statue along with bystanders at the show.
When she was akumatized in Optigami, Style Queen wanted revenge on all the people who laughed at her after being humiliated on television by Sentialec. She didn't hesitate to attack anyone who got in her way, including Chloe and Zoe, and turned every person she encountered into gold dust, refusing to let her victims escape.
As Heart Hunter, her and Andre's goal was to devour all the love they came across in Paris, no matter what kind it was. Heart Hunter showed no mercy to anyone, turning hearts into consuming anyone they saw, even persistently chasing Ladybug for a few moments, seeing that the heroine had love for everyone. They also showed no qualms about attacking Chloé, wishing to consume her love for themselves.
Abilities
As a Civilian
Audrey has an eye for detail and great sense of fashion as she was the one discovered Gabriel Agreste's talent, which she later compared to Marinette Dupain-Cheng's derby hat.
As Style Queen
Style Queen could transform people or objects into golden statues and make domes around them using her scepter. She could also absorb the glitter statues into her scepter and could then release them where she wanted. When reakumatized, she gained extra abilities: She could not only turn people into piles of glitter but also objects. She was also able to glittery or cover objects with glitter examples of such as was a large building covered in glitter. She could also add a glitter copy of her face on top of an affected object, which was on the large building covered with glitter.
Similarly, Style Queen had an intangible body made of golden glitter. She could teleport extremely quickly, which causes a puff of golden smoke.
As Heart Hunter
Heart Hunter manifested as a giant head capable of flight. They could sense love and shoot magic beams at a person(s) that turned them into a heart, which embodied said love, which they then ate.
