wardrobe ; padmé amidala’s wardrobe had many uses besides just to look elegant and extravagant. often underestimated for her age, amidala’s wardrobe as queen was meant to make her appear larger and more intimidating than she truly was. the large size of her attire, paired with the ceremonial face paint she wore as queen, also made it easier for her handmaidens to impersonate her in times of danger. the hoods of the handmaiden’s cloaks also served useful as it would allow amidala to remain hidden if a handmaiden was impersonating her. this practice continued past her term as queen. many times, amidala’s clothing would serve her as a disguise – whether a handmaiden, tatooine peasant, pilot, or refugee – as well as allowed her to remain inconspicuous when she needed to be – such as when visiting tatooine with anakin skywalker. at times her wardrobe was cleverly hidden armor, such as when she was packing to flee coruscant. her wardrobe also held items that would help her escape from potentially dangerous situations, which proved useful when on geonosis when she was able to escape her chains. during the later part of her term as senator, amidala used her wardrobe as a way to hide her pregnancy.

Endless List of Favorite Star Wars Ladies:  Queen Amidala’s Handmaidens

The handmaidens of the Monarch of Naboo were a group of girls trained by the Order of Sanctuary to act as bodyguards, confidantes, and even decoys for the Queen. The handmaidens of Queen Amidala were notable in particular for bearing strong resemblance to their mistress, even so far as for the handmaiden Sabé to briefly stand in as the Queen while Naboo was under seige.

Costume detail for Luminara Unduli, as portrayed by Mary Oyaya. Oyaya said the costume had a “mystical look which can be taken for deep knowledge, determination, decisiveness, insight and all qualities that can be expected of a Jedi Master.” [x]
