How to put it together
- 1
Put on Anakin's dark brown undershirt and layer the matching dark tunics over it, securing them at the waist.
- 2
Drape the black faux-leather tabards over Anakin's shoulders so they hang evenly in the front and back.
- 3
Fasten Anakin's brown utility belt over the tunics and tabards, and clip the blue lightsaber hilt to the side.
- 4
Have Padmé dress in the white long-sleeve top and white leggings, optionally cropping the top's midriff for the battle-torn look.
- 5
Slide the silver metallic armbands onto Padmé's upper arms and fasten the white cape around her neck.

Style both hairstyles—Anakin's wavy shoulder-length hair and Padmé's intricate Geonosis hair buns—and grab your props to complete the duo.
Makeup & hair
For Anakin, style hair into wavy, shoulder-length locks and add a subtle scar over the right eye using makeup. For Padmé, pull hair back into a sleek ponytail, then twist and pin it into three distinct vertical buns at the back of the head.
