Costume designer Trisha Biggar went the extra parsec for her magnificent work on the prequels. This striking image is reminiscent of Queen Amidala’s Senate gown. The headdress is lifted almost wholesale from Mongolian royal hairpieces, though the colours of the gown are more Chinese and the make-up influenced by geisha. Also, the out-sized shoulder pads here are giant enough to make Joan Crawford green with envy. It’s a look that projects power, authority and an unfathomable ability to carry off enormous hats.
