A Padmé Transformation & Costume Reveal!

Comments

Amazing Padme! Also one of my dream cosplays.

Sarah Roop-Rosales

I can't remember if I've already mentioned this, but there's a trick in ballet to keep your ribbons secure for a while: Hair spray... Do all the normal knots then coat it is hairspray, it makes it a little stiff, but basically acts as flexable-light-glue and keeps all the knots etc in place and it should just break up when you want to take them off. However, it would be worth just checking how it looks when you spray the ribbons before-hand it can darken them in patches if you are not spraying evenly. If it means the ribbons stay in place rather than cutting of blood supply to your fingies!

Absolutely STUNNING! In love with this cosplay! <3

Chelsea Hanah

There is a two way mirror for cameras. I know Cherry Wallis has something like what you’re talking about.

Ukita Cosplay

It looks sooo good Rachel. You can see all the hard work you put into the details.

Angela K

good luck on approval! I think it looks amazingly beautiful!

Jen

It turned out amazing! You definitely improved upon the already beautiful first go

Katrina Di Filippo

Good luck with the approval!

Jennifer Kavjian

Incredible! What dedication to making something that makes you so heh-peh!! 🥰 Best of luck!!

Jane Greenwald

It's gorgeous, best of luck with approval!

Heather Hofshi

Incredible transformation!

Heather M

Always love to see the makeup transformations! And the dress is gorgeous!

Rachel Irvin

I believe they make two-way mirror "film" where you can get a piece of normal glass, put the film on it, and then have a two-way mirror. Perhaps something like that would work for filming?

Shelby Ambrose

Beautiful! Makes sense for Padme to have impractical clothes, she's a queen, she has staff to help her in! Is this me saying Nick is your Sabe? 🤔😂

Eloise (San1984)

I made this same costume last year but really struggle with the makeup. So this was very helpfull! Thank you so much for sharing

LotteeBee

Honestly 4 months is pretty good

Emily Kingsley

I love that we're already talking about Halloween! 🎃

Stevie Stanko

I feel like the fact that you feel more confident about it really shows and makes it look even better! good job 💖

Caitlin Land

I’m always in absolute awe of your transformations! Good luck with the legion!! ♥️

Edith

it turned out so beautiful!!

Madi VanDoren

It’s so beautiful 😍

Mikaella Karahadian

Yesssss! But oh ye ribbons! Hope you can find a practical solution to that

Fran H (Siigii)

I honestly thought it looked *amazing* at MegaCon but these tweaks made it literally perfect!! <3 Fingers crossed the legion gets back to you quickly with approval!!

Jasmin

I can't wait to hear what the legion says!!!!

Mary Ella

Wowee, thanks for taking us along with you 😍😍 Can't wait to see more padmé!

Heather Jones

This looks so cute!!!! I kinda wanna make a version with cream/ivory fabric and just wear it in the wild lol like my low-key Star wars sundress for summer.

Amy

omg so proud <3 it looks amazing

Bri

She turned out gorgeous! Attaching the ribbons to the sleeves will definitely make your life easier. I hope you come to Fan Expo Boston this year!

Carol B

Spectacular! And Me’Lady, would you kindly do your pale sisters a solid and reveal the cool toned contour used?

andrea levitan

It looks incredible!

Melanie Tyrrell

It looks amazing!

Kayla W

I’ve been hoping you would make a video for this since I’ve been seeing the cosplay on Instagram so much! I love it! Very cool!

rollingwind

Amazing

Lulu A La Mode

Looks better than the first draft.

Rena Hafeez

I have definitely been sitting here hoping you were going to recreate the meme since you said you were making this costume.

Emily Kelly-Gillingham

I have been WAITING for this!! Incredible incredible job!!! SO beautiful!!

Madeline Schill

Hurray for Nick!

Aunt Heidi

Ok that was awesome and worth all the work you put in. Honestly some of the rebel legion people don't look like the characters very much even with their makeup application and wigs. So I am sure you will be approved for the quality of the outfit as well as the incredible doppelgänger makeup!

Dixie Crowe

This looks amazing, Rachel! Your hard work definitely paid off. I would be surprised if they didn't accept your costume. Also, that's so cool that you're collabing with Alyson! I can't wait to see that magical duo in action.

Katherine Thoreson

It’s soooo gorgeous!!! Well done!!!👏👏👏

Michelle Burnham

It looks sooooo good!!

MaryK171

Every time you do these makeup transformations I say "I don't understand how she did that" even though I just watched you do it 😅

Kae

Wow. There's a couple of places there in the getting-dressed montage where you hit that Natalie Portman smile and daaamn, good job on the makeup and all, I was sold. Go get 'em!

BrainGuy63

This was awesome! I hope you get approved! Have a nice weekend ❤️

Andrea Roark

YAY!!!!!! I was hoping there would be a video of this

Meg W.

I would be an absolute menace with those ribbons in public. I'd be whacking people left and right 😂

Maggie Stewart

I love your transformations! It's always uncanny how you can make your face look like other people's faces. Very cool! Great job, and good luck with The Rebel Legion!

Carly Black

Ahhhhhhaha!!! Good luck, gorgeous lady! You look absolutely fantastic! ☺️

Dottie Elizabeth Vanderbilt

Oh lady. 😍 That is beautiful! I wish you luck!

MushyFiend

Its crazy! He is a Stormtrooper and had to special order parts, make modifications to fit him (cause he is a little short for a stormtrooper… tee hee.. and yes he has heard the joke a million times)… so much work! You got this! Bravo on learning from your first convention debut of this beauty! 🥰
