Costume designer, photographer, and model Grimilde Malatesta looks gorgeous cosplaying as Padmé Amidala in her lakeside gown from Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. These stunning photos were shot at Lake Garda in Italy. The location is pretty close to the actual filming location which was Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como.

“We used to come here for school retreat. We would swim to that island every day. I love the water. We used to lie out on the sand and let the sun dry us and try to guess the names of the birds singing.” -Padmé
