Rediscover Padmé Amidala's stylish ensembles from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones through intricate paper dolls, showcasing every gown and accessory in captivating detail.
The style icon of the galaxy far, far away wasn't Princess Leia's twin buns, but our beloved Padmé Amidala. Her fashion statements truly shone in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, where she rocked those flowy fabrics and sleek battle attire.
The studios couldn't resist the merchandising potential, and so, we were blessed with a pretty awesome book of paper dolls showcasing Trisha Biggar's breathtaking costume designs. However, it's been 23 years, and pristine copies of the Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: Padmé Amidala Paper Doll Book are rarer than a Wookiee singing the Blues in a cantina.
But don't worry, you don't need to settle for a book—Heritage Auctions is selling the original Joyce Patti acrylic-on-paper artworks that inspired that book! Each illustration, mounted on an illustration board, brings out every intricate detail of those iconic outfits. The collection includes eight pieces: Padmé's Senator outfit, her civilian outfits when she was smitten with Anakin Skywalker, and her battle attire from Geonosis. Even Anakin gets a nod, but let's be real, his Jedi togs can't compare to Padmé's galactic flair.
The catch? The starting bid for this heavenly set of original illustrations is a royal $3,000. Want to know more about how to bid or check out the full Star Wars auction? Click here to find out.
