I'll go with you.
-Padmé Amidala
For this year's A Galactic Halloween, my interactive Star Wars prompt I host on Instagram for Halloween, I styled a Dark Side Padmé bound that I've been planning on for over a year and a half! It was all inspired by a floral tulle dress from Express that I stumbled upon. It reminded me of Padme's Meadow Picnic gown that she wears in Attack of the Clones. I loved the idea of a Dark Side Padmé look based off of that particular outfit, and I am so pleased with how it turned out!
Express Tulle Dress: ThredUP
Ribbons: Various
Tank: Target
Chiffon Cardigan: Amazon
Faux Leather Leggings: Amazon
Flower Crown: Amazon
Hairbun Net: Amazon
Burgundy Choker Necklace: Hot Topic
Faux Leather Gloves: Amazon
Boots: Po-Zu | (Similar (tan))
Lightsaber: Galaxy's Edge (Savi's Workshop)
Padmé joining Darth Vader has always been one of my favorite "What ifs?". She would have a killer wardrobe, and I'm sure she would eventually become curious about the Dark Side and want to build her own lightsaber. We see her get in on the action in the films and throughout The Clone Wars series, so it was no question in my mind to include a red-bladed lightsaber with some distortion to the blade, similar to her future grandson's lightsaber. Her and Darth Vader would be the most fearsome couple in the galaxy, and let's be real, the hottest.
Thank you to Drew for the lightsabers edits!
I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween if you celebrate! What do you think of my new Star Wars bound? Is there another outfit that Padmé wears that would look good with a Dark Side twist? Let me know! You can leave a comment below or get in touch with me on Instagram, X, or Threads.
