“George [Lucas] said that [The Phantom Menace] is definitely a costume drama,” recounted concept artist Iain McCaig. “Especially for the queen.” Indeed, Padmé Amidala wears a number of stylized dresses and exotic formal wear in The Phantom Menace, all of which required an incredible amount of design work, refinement, and craft for what was only a few minutes (or even seconds) of screen time. Yet the level of detail and the number of dresses the queen wears inThe Phantom Menace tell us about the tradition of Naboo, its culture, and its art, adding a significant layer to the Star Wars universe. And out of all those outfits, none are more impressive than Padmé’s iconic, regal gown. Inspiration for the design came from numerous countries and cultures, including Mongolia and Tibet, and much of the credit goes to McCaig and costume designer Trisha Biggar. Biggar created the costumes for the entire prequel trilogy, combining fabrics from all over the world and utilizing colors and tones that would work and excel with different lighting and movement, and say something about the character. Padmé’s throne room robe exemplifies this. It’s driven by a bold red, conveying the queen’s strong personality and willingness to fight, as would be seen in the film’s climax; it has strange details, like the large, oval jewels just above the hem, that somehow work, creating a symmetry with both the gown’s sleeves and accompanying three-pointed head piece; and it makes familiar Asian motifs seem completely Star Wars. It was an eye-opening costume when first seen in the trailer for The Phantom Menace, and it remains a stunning work of art. [x]

QUEEN AMIDALA, THRONE ROOM GOWN THE PHANTOM MENACE
As Queen Amidala in The Phantom Menace, Natalie Portman wears nearly a dozen costumes. Far fewer were originally planned, but by the time the script was finalized, Lucas’s desire to expand the fashion universe had led to an almost threefold increase. There is a different costume in nearly every scene. Throughout this film, the Queen’s costumes befitted her royal position, with elegance and ritual formality. The brilliance of costume designer Trisha Biggar’s work in Episode I was first revealed in the sophisticated, otherworldly wardrobe of the young Queen Amidala, melding a great variety of cultures, traditions and fabrics into a unique style that set the prequel costume design standard. The Throne Room Gown is among the most complex creations and shows the influence of Chinese Imperial Court styles. “It took almost eight weeks to complete, and began with the manufacturing of an undergarment that resembled an upside down ice cream cone. The shape of this undergarment was constructed using many narrow panels of canvas that were reinforced with rings of crinoline steel around the hem to keep the shape rigid and support the weight of the fabric, allowing it to skim the floor, creating a floating, gliding effect. The collar, hanging center-front piece, and sleeves were edged and lined in a faux fur and decorated with a gold metallic embroidery. The lights that illuminated the bottom were in a vac-formed Perspex (acrylic resin), color-washed with French enamel varnish.”
