Choosing Your Star Wars Character
Classic Jedi
Embrace the elegance of a Jedi by choosing earthy tones such as browns and beiges. Opt for flowing robes, a Jedi-inspired tunic, and comfortable boots. Accessorize with a lightsaber and a belt to complete your Jedi ensemble.
Sith Sophistication
Channel the dark side with Sith-inspired attire. Choose black and red hues for your outfit, incorporating leather or faux leather materials for added edge. A dark cloak, boots, and red lightsaber will complete your Sith-inspired look. You can also opt for a black romper or skirt and add in Darth Vader’s belt for a look that is truly on the dark side.
Princess Leia
Capture the regal charm of Princess Leia with a flowing white gown, reminiscent of her iconic look in “A New Hope.” You can also create this iconic look with a white skirt and white top or a white romper. Add her signature bun hairstyle or grab a pair of Princess Leia Mickey ears, and a belt to complete the timeless ensemble.
Rebel Pilot
Embark on a Rebel Alliance mission with a pilot-inspired outfit. Choose an orange jumpsuit or orange overalls, reminiscent of Rebel pilot uniforms, and add aviator-style accessories. Don’t forget a Rebel Alliance insignia to showcase your allegiance to the cause.
Padmé Amidala
Padmé is an iconic character. With her lake dress, royal attire, and her disguise outifts, there are so many options to choose from. Try an ombre dress with lilac headbands or lilac scrunchies to get the look of Padmé’s lakeside gown. Or pair a yellow floral dress with a matching headband to create a look reminiscent of Padmé’s meadow dress.
Galactic Accessories

- Lightsabers:
A lightsaber is the ultimate accessory for any Star Wars enthusiast. Choose a lightsaber that complements your chosen character or personalize it to reflect your unique style.

Embrace iconic Star Wars hairstyles, from Leia’s buns to Rey’s scavenger-inspired look and Padme’s lake hairstyle. You can also opt for sleek styles or braids inspired by your favorite characters.
