Dark purple traveling dress

The dark purple traveling dress was a Naboo outfit worn by Queen Amidala. It had purple cerlin sleeves and was ornamented with shoulder decorations on the darker purple velvet overdress. It was paired with an antique tiara embossed with the Naboo royal emblem and a mauve chersilk hair veil with two hanging sections in front criss-crossed by drapa bindings.

During the Trade Federation's Invasion of Naboo, Amidala traveled to the Galactic Republic's capital on Coruscant to plead for aid from the Galactic Senate. Despite all her efforts, Amidala was unable to secure help from the Republic quickly enough to save her people. On the journey home to Naboo in her royal starship, her handmaiden Sabé assisted her in dressing while the other handmaidens packed the queen's wardrobe. Amidala wore the somber traveling gown in recognition of her people's suffering, and she wore it again at the funeral of the Jedi Qui-Gon Jinn, who died in the fight for Naboo.
