Star Wars: Fit for a Queen



Attack of the Clones: While technically free to be herself at Varykino, Padmé still chooses to wear a traditional and symbolic gown for her picnic with Anakin. The richly embroidered gown conforms to the intricate dress code associated with the Naboo nobility, and her hair is done in a formal court style.

Design: For this incredibly fragile gown, the designers went for a light, summery dress that was very feminine while still being Star Wars. That influence can easily be seen in the hairstyle reminiscent of Leia's famous buns in A New Hope, though Trisha Biggar insists there was no intended resemblance. The dress itself was made from fifty yards of hand-embroidered old-gold silk organza to create, as Biggar said, "a sense of movement and romance, the skirt flowing in the breeze." Multi-colored ribbons were tied around the lower sleeves while a bodice was worn over the dress. The bodice was made from silk cloqué, and decorated with computerized filigree embroidery in seven colors and bled stitching. The roses on the bodice were taken from the tulle shawl and appliquéd on, as a way to unite the different fabrics.
