Star Wars Bound: Reylo

I really enjoy creating Star Wars character-inspired outfits. I've styled several different outfits including Bazine Netal, Hera Syndulla, Captain Phasma, Ahsoka Tano and my most recent, a Death Trooper. I'm not saying I won't ever cosplay one day but this is kind of my thing and I'm quite passionate about it!

My husband Jason and I have been collecting our favorite legacy lightsabers from Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities at Galaxy's Edge. I knew that once we had Kylo and Rey's lightsabers in our possession that we had to go to Batuu dressed as the iconic duo. I thought it would be fun to create more of a "dressed-up" version of the attire that they wear in the films. We are both really pleased with the way our ensembles turned out and how well they complimented each other, just like Kylo Ren and Rey!

For Rey's look I wanted to represent her past, present and future. The brown belt (an accessory that came with the Rey dress from Her Universe) most resembles her style in The Force Awakens while my hair half pulled back gives a nod to her hair-do in The Last Jedi. And finally, the white dress with shoulder cut-outs represents her new garments in The Rise of Skywalker. I found this dress on Amazon for under $30 and it's a dream to wear! It comes in several different colors too. I topped the look off with a nude pair of heels from Target and her lightsaber of course! It's a simple but elegant outfit and I felt amazing in it.

Kylo Ren's look, I think, is really simple to achieve since everything he wears is all black. I feel like most people have some sort of black clothing and accessories in their closet. I literally didn't have to purchase anything for Jason's outfit! He wore a black collared dress shirt with slacks, black dress shoes and a silver watch to casually represent the silver on his helmet. DONE! I love the way Kylo's lightsaber looks against the all black outfit, it's such a great contrast!

Obviously, I am a fan of Reylo but I'm not the kind of fan that has to see them romantically involved "or else". I recognize that they have a special relationship and a unique bond through the Force and I absolutely love that. I'm SO excited to see where this next chapter will take them! I hope that if they don't become romantically involved that they will be a team and have a happy ending (can you also have a happy ending on the Dark Side? Just curious). I also might melt in my seat if they share a kiss, embrace or anything of that nature really. Jason's opinion on Reylo? He says, "It doesn't matter because the movie will tell us what things are when they happen." He is probably the smarter one waiting for the official confirmation in The Rise of Skywalker on whether or not these two are a romantic pair. I just can't help but "ship" fictional characters I guess.

It was fun seeing other people recognize who we were while on Batuu and having unexpected interactions with some First Order Stormtroopers. It didn't take much to get them to join either of us on our individual missions. It's probably because we're both so in tune with the Force and all...

What do you think of our outfits and photoshoot? If we were to represent another couple in Star Wars in the future, who would you suggest? Let us know in a comment below or get in touch with me on Twitter or Instagram!

  1. You both look great! I love how simple the outfits are but how you know exactly what character each of you are. And the photos are fantastic.
