1. Queen Amidala’s Star Wars costumes are sophisticated, yet so simple

Padmé made its first appearance as Queen Amidala in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and her outfits were extremely elaborate. Do you remember? Imagine Natalie Portman putting those costumes on and taking them off, she would spend more time doing so than acting. Well, thing is, they were created so they could be easily be removed.

Natalie could not be anything but relieved. “I wasn’t the happiest of people having to wear the Senate costume with the big hairpiece, however. The outfits were made so they could be easily taken on and off because if you have to go to the bathroom at some point during the day, you can’t spend five hours for a bathroom break. The hair and makeup usually took about two, two and a half hours, but the costumes took 15 minutes,” she said.
