Star Wars: Fit for a Queen



Attack of the Clones: Though less restricting and more practical than her royal robes, Senator Amidala's deep purple dress and strict hairstyle are still elegant and impressive and conform to the Senate's harsh sense of etiquette. The golden neckband was a gift from the Naboo Council to their Senator.

Design: While the inspirations for the The Phantom Menace gowns came from Eastern countries such as Japan and Mongolia, Dermot Power drew on Western influences for this gown. The vivid colors and rich textures are reminiscent of the 1500's Elizabethan Era. The headress however, is from a completely different source, based on styles from Central Africa. It was constructed from gold metal circular coils with detailing that went over a cage-like base.

Note: Pictures of the African styles that inspired the headdress have been found in various places. Click here to see a comparison.
