My Star Wars costume entry for #QueensPerilFriday is a 50s/60s-ish vintage take on a gown of Padmé’s that sadly only appears in a deleted scene from Episode II. All put together with things from my closet/around the house. In the scene Padmé says she survived an assassination attempt “less than an hour” earlier. It took me much longer than that to put together my much less elaborate version. Shoutout to Padmé and her handmaiden squad pulling off looks like this that quickly. If you’d like to read about just how they manage all those costume changes, (aka, my dream content) be sure to check out @ek_johnston’s books about them: Queen’s Shadow and its upcoming prequel
