    1. Wow! This is so obviously where some of the inspiration for Queen Amidala came from. I remember when the Star Wars Elisode I movie came out and all the fashion magazines had articles about the amazing costume design. It definitely got me interested enough to want to go see the movie just for the costuming even though I knew nothing about Star Wars prior to that

    2. When I visited the Star Wars and the Power of Costume exhibit this photo was next to the actual costume as being the direct influence for its design.
