Rediscover Padmé Amidala's Elegant Wardrobe from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones with Meticulously Designed Paper Dolls
Revamped and Refreshed:
Hop aboard, travelers! Let's dive into the captivating world of Star Wars and explore the ultimate style icon: Padmé Amidala. Yep, you guessed it! The Phantom Menace was just the beginning; it was Attack of the Clones that really catapulted this character to fashion heaven.
You see, Lucasfilm cleverly capitalized on Padmé's renown by releasing a remarkable collection of paper dolls, showcasing Trisha Biggar's exceptional costume design. Although it's been an astonishing 23 years since the film hit the silver screen, genuine copies of Random House's Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: Padmé Amidala Paper Doll Book are as rare as a Tundra Raider on ice planet Hoth.
But have no fear! In celebration of May the Fourth, Heritage Auctions is offering something even more mesmerizing – the original Joyce Patti acrylic-on-paper masterpieces, mounted on illustration boards, ready to adorn your wall and display Padmé's fashionable finesse in exquisite detail.
This enticing set consists of eight artworks (roughly 13.25'' x 20'' each), offering a stunning representation of Padmé's new role as Naboo's senator, as well as her off-duty ensembles during her whirlwind romance with Anakin Skywalker. Heritage Auctions highlights the following ensembles: "her loyalist dress, her refugee dress, her picnic dress, her dinner dress, her Tatooine blue dress, her wedding gown, and her Geonosis battle attire." And let's not forget about Anakin! While his Jedi outfits are impressive, they can't shadows Padmé's undeniable galactic splendor.
