Sudden whitening of the hair, usually caused by extreme sorrow and fear.
The phenomena is extremely rare and is very unlikely to ever occur to someone.
The name hail from Queen Marie Antoinette of France, where her hair turned white the night before she was to be executed.
After losing her entire family, and on top of that receive news of the death of her lover, she fell into such deep sorrow that she fell victim for the Marie Antoinette Syndrom - her hair turned white.

When someone in the ruling class has everything they need and is oblivious to the fact that many of the common people are suffering from a lack of basic necessities
When Marie Antoinette was told that the peasants were starving and didn't even have bread she responded "Let them Eat Cake!"
John Boehner and Mitch McConnell represent classic cases of Marie Antoinette Syndrome, their Congressional Health Care plans provide them with the best Health Care in the world, but they have fought against making health care available to the masses, appearantly unconcerned that thousands of Americans die every year because they can't afford basic health care.

Marie Antoinette Syndrome is when you or someone you know is going through something (for example: a divorce) and one of the parties wants nothing to do with the other party going forward, but still want all the perks of the relationship without having to be in the relationship. This applies to friendships, jobs, relationships, everything.
My ex has Marie Antoinette Syndrome: "I want you out of our house! But I still want you to do everything, and continue doing my bidding regardless of where we are."
" I baked YOU a cake ... but, I'm going to eat it while you watch me"
