Experience a Revival of Padmé Amidala's Attack of the Clones Style Via These Intricate Paper Dolls Detailings
Unleashing Galactic Glamour: A Peek into the Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Paper Doll Book's Missing Pieces!
Ever since Princess Leia's twin buns graced the Star Wars universe, fashion has played a significant role in this galaxy far, far away. However, it was Queen Amidala (played by Natalie Portman) who truly elevated the style game in the Star Wars realm. While her regal attire made a mark in The Phantom Menace, it was in Attack of the Clones where Amidala truly shined with her flowing fabrics and sleek battle attire.
Fast forward twenty-three years, and finding pristine copies of the Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: Padmé Amidala Paper Doll Book is like searching for a precious Jedi artifact. Published by Random House, this book, adorned with Joyce Patti's captivating artwork, is a treasure trove of Padmé's fashionable legacy. But fear not, for the upcoming Star Wars sale, coinciding with May the Fourth, offers a tantalizing alternative: the original Joyce Patti acrylic-on-paper artworks!
These works of art, beautifully mounted on illustration boards, serve as a testament to Amidala's sartorial prowess. The set comprises eight pieces, showcasing Amidala's various roles as the senator of Naboo, as well as her off-duty looks while romancing Anakin Skywalker. Heritage Auctions calls attention to her wardrobe staples like the loyalist dress, refugee dress, picnic dress, dinner dress, Tatooine blue dress, wedding gown, and Geonosis battle attire. Anakin Skywalker makes an appearance too, but his Jedi attire pales in comparison to Amidala's undeniable cosmic flair.
Before the gavel drops, it's important to know that the starting bid for this set of original illustrations tips the scale at a regal $3,000.
