#padmé’s wardrobe

[skywalkr-nberrie]

Padmé clearly has a style and preference in clothing (love how it sort of reflects Vader too, hehe.) but I find it so interesting how for the AOTC dress, she had no need to remove the shawl she was so clearly wearing in the scene prior to reveal her deep neck corset alone in a room with Anakin 😂 nor did she even have any reason to pack such an attire (girl was on vacation.)

The other times she wore the same style of these dresses was when she was attending a party (clone wars adventures comic) and coming back from an opera (the clone wars series) but they’re not corsets as we can see 😏 that only means one thing.

[The comic version one is of Padmé and Sheltay in “Spy Girls” from Clone Wars Adventures Vol. 7.]

Please ALSO imagine Ahsoka asking Padmé's help with planning an outfit for some Fancy Party she has to attend. Also maybe Satine is there.

YES YES YES YES I THINK I WILL IMAGINE THAT

Girls don't wanna have fun.

Girls want to have that pretty yellow-pink-purple dress Padmé wears in Attack of the Clones.

Attack of the clones belongs to the girls.❤🌸🌅

You know the Star Wars brainrot is bad when it’s 04:48 am and you’re drawing pictures of the same space-wizard, blond twink who plays with laser swords

@prequelsnet prequels appreciation week: day 4 — costumes

↳ the wardrobe of Padmé Amidala

[stagbeetleboy]

Actually the fact that Padmé and Palpatine have the largest wardrobes in starwars to signify their Naboo heritage,

makes me wonder how the Naboo reacted to the Emperor suddenly not presenting himself “appropriately” (wearing that dingy black robe).

Considering how conservative Naboo is and how important class signifiers seem to be. Like his popularity is effected more by the fact the emperor is an outfit repeater than his actual politics.

these are MY favorites from each category btw! (subject to change)

*read more so I won't piss anyone off)

Queen Amidala gown (I can not choose they're both too beautiful)

Handmaiden outfit

Nightgown

Senatorial outfit

mission attire

Naboo-Tatooine outfit

TCW fit

me when I ask my sister for her favorite Senator Padmé outfit but she doesn't have a list of all of the Padmé outfits organized and split into categories in her mind so she doesn't have an immediate answer (I didn't even use her input eventually) (everyone should have a favorite Padmé Queen outfit, handmaiden outfit, nightgown, Senatorial outfit, mission outfit, and a Naboo-Tatooine outfit. Tcw one too for good measure)

Bringing my two cents to the (in)famous Luke "Chanel Boots" Skywalker joke because I actually have weird thoughts about Luke and fashion tropes that go beyond haha gay blonde twink like luxury brand.

Thinking about Luke's characterization and fashion as a narrative device. The significance of Luke leaving Tatooine with literally nothing but the clothes on his back and donning Corellian Bloodstripes at the end of A New Hope.

Thinking about Luke's wardrobe gradually transitioning from lighter colors to black throughout Episodes IV-VI.

Thinking about the sheer intentionality of Luke having an all-black wardrobe in Return of The Jedi onwards. Is it to honor his father? To mourn him? To remind himself of who he could be and who he already is? All of the above? Thinking about the deliberate asymmetry of Luke's single black glove. Thinking about the white flap on his chest.

Thinking about Padmé and how she was molded into fashion since birth, the extravagance of her outfits and makeup as an Amidala. Thinking about how Luke seems to mirror her regal anonymity with his cloaked grim reaper fit. Thinking about Luke's disconnected relationship with his late mother and wondering if he ever felt the same level of restrictive empowerment she did when she wore her gowns.

Thinking about the nuances of queer fashion and how it can equally be as empowering and restrictive to the wearer.

Thinking about the white and orange prison uniforms in Andor and the colors of the Rebel Alliance.

Thinking about my old Modernist Literature professor who wrote her thesis on the colors of stockings in D.H. Lawrence's fiction and how women characters chose to wear bright stockings under their long, billowing skirts that no-one else but themselves could see. Thinking about the color pink in Legally Blonde. Thinking about reading dress and fashion as a legitimate pathway to literary analysis. Thinking about the utter significance of Luke's entire outfit. All of his outfits.

Thinking about those damn Chanel Boots.

Girls don’t want boys.

Girls want Padmé Amidala’s wardrobe.

📖

after padmé’s funeral, rabé has totally changed : forget the handmaiden who grins &. soothes others’ doubts. the lady became the epitome of a hopeless wanderer, of an elusive passenger. she’s not a rebel, don’t be surprised to not recognize her usual self.

as the old wardrobe mistress &. a forlorn creative lady, rabé’ll not cease to scrutinize vader’s outfits : stygian, modest, proffering a daunting tenebrosity worth eulogizing — hm, she’ll not hesitate to advice him on how to appear less intimidating sometimes, exchanging wise philosophies like getting rid of the mask that blocks him away from real happenings, to confront worlds in all his glory whilst discarding with pride others’ foul judgements about his new appearance &. this ? unwise choice to discuss about his mandatory suit. NOBODY IN THE EMPIRE MUST RECOGNIZE THE NEW VISAGE, the result of hubris &. warning that condemns the arrogance to linger on burnt marks. yes … perhaps ridiculous to mention that a suit like his is for the better, enemies can take advantage of his physical condition ( like targeting his weakest spots &. transforms the battlefield into a show of mockery ), so she’ll apologize &. jokes around like ‘‘ what about smiling instead of this cold facial expression ?’’ excuse her, she wants to pamper him like she pampered padmé before … BUT IT DOESN’T STOP HERE : everything is new, or just drastically met alternatives that the republic would’ve liked to dodge, political ethics should be thrown away with firmness, rabé’ll encourage vader to not tolerate a mistake &. to correct insubordination, explaining that duties come before personal needs &. it’s a honor to sacrifice for hefty commitments. vader, with this hidden identity like the phantom of his own opera, coercing anyone to follow orders shall also follow the advices of the book THE PRINCE, ‘‘be machiavellian’’ to sum it up : BE FEARED, NOT LOVED, for love is a weakness, near obsession &. guides the strongest outlet to a tragedy ‘‘like all misery, it begins with apparent happiness, &. in a kingdom, there’s no friends.’’ why all above–mentioned advices are judged bad ? because the old rabé would NEVER act like this, but after manifold tries to find good distractions, a new opportunity to prosper … SHE GAVE UP ON BEING BENEVOLENT, loss &. ennui, mingled with chaos &. despair, affected her. NOT ONLY THIS, but vader might never expect to see a drastic change in the old handmaiden of his precious padmé.
