Amidala's Panoply of Fashions

[dangermousie]

What's a girl to do when she finds out that she is targeted for assasination, the Republic is dead, and the love of her life has turned Evil with a capital "E"? Why, go shopping of course.

I, Dangermousie, proudly present to you some of Princess/Queen/Senator/SexBunny Amidala's costumes. Katranna, maybe that will persuade you to see the movie, na?

Placed behind the cut because of the staggering amount of pics.

I am beginning to suspect Anakin turned to the Dark Side merely to support his wife's shopping habit!



Amidala imitates an Egyptian Pharaoh:



And that is why the woman jumps at the future Dark Lord. With outfits like this, I doubt she has a surfeit of suitors:



I love this dress. Very Renaissance inspired. Anakin seems to be equally delighted. Maybe because for once she is not painted like a corpse and is showing more than a millimiter of flesh:


And now we know that Leia's hideous outfit was a hand-me-down from Mummy:


This is humongous-sized, but the detail is worth it. I want this dress:


The dress that mesmerized the Dark Lord (I love the gold detail):


Space Cher:


I hope that's not for the wedding night:


The missing link between humans and lobsters:


Oh Amidala, a chicken died for you!


Simple and elegant:


Ugh:


Love the detailing on the cap. So does Anakin:


This is so gloriously, Joan Crawfordishly 30s-women's-movie over the top. I love it:


Very Renaissance portrait:


That hairdo is too too out there:


Yup, Anakin is turning into quite a fashion-oriented lad. Look how intensely he gazes on the detailing on that fabric:


Ahh, the symbolism! Do you not weep at the depth and meaning of this? For she is in White and he is in Black. Ahhh, the mystery, the sophistication of it! No wonder she gave the kids away. Can you imagine explaining the wedding photos? "Mommy, where is Daddy and why is he wearing a mullet?" "Oh, honey, Daddy is away destroying the Universe, but I have no excuse for the mullet."

A lot of these are really nice, and some are really crappy, even for faux-ritual clothes, which we all know are supposed to look ridiculous.

But,
a) who the hell does her hair?
b) How does she not age?
c) and, otherwordly or not, why is she wearing a kimono in one shot, Pharaoh-dress in another, Chinese/Mongolian garb in a third, and then abruptly switches to Renaissance-early 1600's clothes? That kind of inconsistency is not very believable.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I think the difference is supposed to be 10 years between the pics (at most). The ones with lobster-like outfits and geometry are from the first movie, and the nicer/sexier ones are from the second. I guess I'll buy that she didn't checng super much between 16 and 26, especially if she is an alien.

I think Renaissance clothes are her "seduction outfit" I think if she was serious about the whole "no, we can nevah evah see each other" angst, she should have kept on wearing the lobster outfits. That would have put Anakin off her real quick. But yup, costume consistency is not the strength :)

Re: hair. I love it. Come on, it's so gloriously over the top, how can you not?

[katranna.livejournal.com]

I like her hair; I just wonder how long it takes to get it done. Even in the lighter outfits.

(Anakin's rat tail, on the other hand...)

P.S. Ha ha, she likes the young boys...
P.P.S. While you're looking up pics, gimme a few Bollywood ones to work with for your layout!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I tell ya, she is Mrs Robinson. I am sorry, it is a bit weird to have a desire to have the hot and kinky with the guy who you knew when he was a little kid and you already a poised teenanger, however hot or angsty he may be :) Ah, well...young wuv!

Rat Tail? Rofl! It only looks good in the Bahamas.

I am going to look up some pics for you.

Btw, call me this evening?

ROFL! She wants to bind him to her? :) The outfit is very flattering and all, but it's the sexiest outfit she wears the whole movie, so it's sending quite a different message to the poor guy. If I give GL benefit of the doubt, I'd assume it's because she is trying to do good, but doesn't really want to let him go.

[wasabi-girl1.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm lovin' your journal, with all the SW goodness! :D

I like how some of Amidala's clothes have some Indian twinges to them! :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heh. Doesn't this:

look like they are going to burst into Tujhe Dekha at any time?

[wasabi-girl1.livejournal.com]

Wow, I hope not. I don't think Hayden can hold a candle to Rukhie! ;)

[mangochutney789.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that rennisance one! It's very gorgeous and romantic. Awesome pics!

*dies* Permission to put in metaquotes?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes of course. I am so flattered!

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

Done!

I come here via metaquotes

And I have to say, this is hysterical. Thanks for the laugh.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

You are welcome! Thanks for visiting :)

[nonamouse.livejournal.com]

Damn, I want that bitch's clothes.

Well, the ones that don't look like they weigh 50 pounds, at least.

(here from metaquotes. Carry on.)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Heh. Love the avatar!

Hmmm, imagine a fight between C3PO and Bender...that would be fun (and short)!

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

Hah, I'm here from metaquotes. I'm so adding this to my memories.
I think the answer to most questions is to go shopping. It may not help with the war, but from the appearance of her clothes it could save the entire retail business.
I need those clothes! *has no closet space*

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks *blushes becomingly* You can keep the lobster clothes. I got dibs on the pretty Renfair ones.

Who's in your avatar, if you don't mind me asking?

I don't think the closet space would save you. These outfits require a separate house for their maintenance. What I want to know is: the ship she travels on is teeny. Where are they all stored?

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

Hey! Well, I guess there's a lot you could do with the lobster ones. (i.e. take out the shoulder pads?)
*grins* I figure the rest of the house would be expendable. After I watch it, my mind is going "Wait, so if i wander around the desert and make out with hot, although mulleted, guys, I can have awesome clothes?
You've never watched "Lost"? It's a t.v. show on abc. It's a piture of Sawyer, one of the main, and hottest, characters. He's also angsty, Josh Holloway is an amazing actor, and I will stop now because this will go on forever.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Nope, haven't seen Lost but might check it out..cute and angst are powerful words.

"After I watch it, my mind is going "Wait, so if i wander around the desert and make out with hot, although mulleted, guys, I can have awesome clothes?"

ROFL! That itself should go on metaquotes! Lucky Padme, her hubby even loses the mullet in Ep 3.

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

Anytime I hear "mullet", my friend's voice runs through my head singing "mullut maaaaaaaaaaan". Yeah, long story.
Lucky Padme :)I wonder how she convinced him to do that. I know how hard it is to convince guys to cut their hair, as I have ample experience in that area. They seriously cannot let it go. At least he looks hot with the longish hair, because some guys can't pull it off and they look like rebels on crack.
Ooooh, watch Lost! Do you want the showtimes? They're in reruns now, but new eps. are returning on March 30.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Mullets are scary.

Oooh yes, showtimes please!

Btw, I like Ayn Rand too.

Re: hair. Apparently, they initially were considering a mohawk for ep 3 *scared* Maybe the braid is a training jedi thing, so when he stopped being that he finally got the haircut he was always longing for :)

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

"Lost" showtimes: In New York, it's on at 8:00 pm on Wednesdays, channel 7 (ABC). Each episode is an hour long. Some warning: if you haven't seen some of the previous episodes, it seems like it would be really confusing. I actually started watching at th 11th episode, and I had no idea what was going on. Through the miracle of online transcripts, fansites, livejournal and TWOP recaps,and having another obsessed friend, I got caught up. Yeah, it's time consuming.
Which books of hers have you read? The first one I read was Atlas Shrugged, quickly followed by The Fountainhead.
Eeeew, a mohawk? Along with mullets, rat tails, and jewfros, nobody should ever have a mohawk ever. Ever. I feel very strongly about this. Maybe that's why jedi's don't usually have romance, because they are forced to have bad hair. Hey, who knows what goes on in George Lucas's mind?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

See, I think bad hair equates negation of personal desires (even grooming ones). It is very significant that it's in the movie he turns to the Dark Side in, that Anakin finally has good hair. Heeee, I managed that with a straight face.

I've read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

Be evil, get a haircut?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. My husband has almost a crew-cut. *gets worried*

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. But fear not! The main character in Lost, Jack, played by Matthew Fox, has a crew cut and he's the hero. My brother also has a semi-crew cut. I've always known he was sinister, though. It's better than the jewfro/mop/tornado disaster area he used to sport, anyway. It can really only go uphill from there.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh, I am saved. :)
