I'm pretty sure I'd have to agree with NoxAria and say that if there is a specific reference she was going for, it would be Catherine Howard. Henry was said to be quite handsome when he married Anne Boleyn. She was falsely accused of adultery and incest as an excuse for Henry to get rid of her. Catherine was executed for cheating as well, only in her case she had in fact commited adultery. She was also the most frivilous of his wives.
As for Marie Antoinette, only the chorus really matches her. She actually loved her husband. Not to mention Louis would not be looking for someone younger. As far as I know he was famous for being shy and hardly (if ever) had any mistresses.
