HAPPY PADMÉ DAY!!! If you somehow didn’t know, Queen’s Shadow by E.K. Johnston is out today and stars Padmé and her incredible handmaidens and it is SO VERY GOOD! (I have a lot of feels about all of those women.) Please go buy yourself a copy and read it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Anyways, I’ve had this gorgeous scarf from Prophecy Girl for ages and today feels like the right day for an outfit featuring it. This! Is! Padmé! Week!

So here’s the fun thing about this outfit: it’s both Leia and Padmé inspired. The big giant purple sweater thing is based on a Leia outfit from The Last Jedi in a different color. When it finally got here, my initial thought was that it made me think of Padmé’s outfit she wears to meet with Palpatine at the start of Attack of the Clones especially once I remembered about the navy dress I had in my closet. Once I put it on, it started to feel a little more Leia so now I’m just rolling with it and embracing it as an homage to both women.

Welcome back this month’s round up of my four favorite geek fashion things that I’ve stumbled upon over the last month and that I wanted to share with all of you!
- There seems to be no end in sight for Po-Zu’s Star Wars offerings. While I am fond of the Han Solo sneaker they recently announced, my favorite has to be this new Rey inspired boot.
- Everyone should strive to have as much style as Lando. ThinkGeek’s new replica cape is A++.
- Her Universe continues to expand their active wear offerings with these Infinity War inspired leggings at Torrid.
- Finally, Prophecy Girl has expanded into scarves! My favorite just might be this Padmé inspired print. It’s subtle but one you look at it more closely, you see all of the elements.
It’s nice when a company finally makes a piece you’ve been asking for for literal years. I just really love Padmé and the Naboo Handmaidens, folks. While I’m not huge on the color as it’s a little uhhh… sweeter? than my style usually tends, I do love how the piece looks. (Lin referred to this as “this pastel aesthetic that is such a hard left from the Bria Lookbook” when I sent her the pictures.) Just like with the skirt, the crest is subtle enough that most people will just think it’s a neat pattern. The Naboo fans though… we know.

For sizing reference, Bria is wearing a Medium in the cardigan.
It’s no secret that I love the Prequels, Padmé Amidala, and oh so much of her gorgeous wardrobe. Therefore, it was inevitable that I would decided to torture myself by making myself rank all 36 outfits she wears. It took the better part of an evening and I was still second guessing myself days later. The rules were these: I had to rank everything that Natalie Portman wore in the Prequel Trilogy films. So that meant that none of her animated looks were included and that I didn’t include Amidala dresses worn by Sabé or Cordé. You can see larger versions of all of these dresses over at the ever awesome Padawan’s Guide.
We’ll start from the bottom. (Come on, you didn’t really think we’d give you #1 up front, did you?)
Coming in at #36 is the Hospital Gown that Padmé dies in. It’s a white robe. Only moderately more stylish are her Coruscant Nightgown from Attack of the Clones (#35), her Aqua Georgette Nightgown like look (#34), and the Dressing Gown (#33) she wears when Obi-Wan tells her that Anakin killed younglings, both from Revenge of the Sith. Honestly, I had no idea how many nightgowns this woman wore until I started this ranking. They are the only thing that save the Tatooine Chic Poncho (#32) and Peasant Disguise (#31) from being on the bottom. They’re both perfectly serviceable looks but… this is Padmé we’re talking about.
