Today I just wanted to do something fun and frivolous, and thought I’d put on a Padme Amidala fashion show. She’s the best-dressed woman in the galaxy, and absolutely beautiful. I haven’t included any outfits she wore as Queen of Naboo (maybe some other time), but just the ones she wore as Padme–Senator, wife, mother. These are by no means all of them; this post would probably go on forever, as every new scene seemed to require a new outfit.
No matter what the occasion, Padme did it in style.
Anakin’s first glimpse of her after ten years.
I’d choose simple garb for traveling, but not Padme.
The backless lake dress is one of my favorites.
This picnic dress is another one of my favorites.
I call this one the Dominatrix outfit. Poor Anakin.
Wish I was this gorgeous in the morning.
The Tatooine outfit marries desert sensibility with understated fashion. I love this one.
Perfect for aggressive negotiations.
The wedding dress of dreams.
The precursor to Leia’s buns.
Beautiful nightgown, but how does she sleep with those pearls?
I love the copper headpiece and the hairdo here, but the outfit, not so much.
This is so lovely, but I can’t remember it in the movie. Cutting room floor?
“So this is how liberty dies.” Her hairpiece is similar to the Rebellion/Resistance symbol.
Even in death, she’s stunning.
And who can forget the wings of Clone Wars?
Thank you for attending the Padme Amidala fashion show, I hope you enjoyed it.
What’s your favorite Padme outfit? Let me know in the comments!

Hi Tina, First off I have to say the Aggressive Negotiator outfit seems very popular as I have a copy of the picture on my site and someone that uses the entertainment website Polygon linked to it for some reason (as a result I have had 100’s of views of it).
Regards the dresses, I couldn’t pick between the lakeside dress and the wedding dress. Interestingly the wedding dress had over 300 yards of extra lace/materials bought to construct it and all the beads (described as seeds) were hand sewn! Hundreds if not a thousand hours or more of work went into it.
I’m sure the Aggressive Negotiator outfit is/was on the wall of millions of teenage boys worldwide, lol. All the dresses are gorgeous, and the details they put into them are amazing.
They certainly did a lot of work and research. I read an article about Trish Biggar the wardrobe designer and it described the influences for Padme’s outfits and Naboo fashions and it was really cool how they implemented earth based fashion into the Universe. And I think I read that the wedding gown started out as a bedspread to which they added all the extra material I mentioned.
I have to say Jedi tunics and robe are much easier to assemble.

It kind of does look like a bedspread! A beautiful one, though. Yes, Jedi garb is much simpler, that’s for sure.

Padme had more costume changes than Cher and Diana Ross combined.
