COSTUME
Movie costumes aren’t just clothes:
they are visual clues about the
character wearing them. Even before
they knew Rey’s name, fans had
already been inspired to make their
own version of the costume based on
brief glimpses of the character from
the very first teaser trailer. Before
the movie opened in theaters, Insider
asked a couple of cosplayers what the
scavenger attire told them about Rey
as a character.
Lisa Curtis Saunders: It’s certainly
given me an appreciation for her
resourcefulness, learning all the
details of the costume and the
purposes behind them. It’s a
comfortable, practical costume for
a tough, practical lady. Beyond that
it’s hard to know, but I am ridiculously
excited to fi nd out.
Kay Serna: With some of the
complications figuring out how all
the elements fit together, I had to
believe everything she wore was for
a reason beyond just looking good on
film. As I found all the pieces I needed
for my costume build, I felt connected
to Rey—being resourceful, making
things work. When I put on the whole
ensemble, I knew that much more
about what it’s like to be her: how the
fabrics make you stand; the range of
movement she has. I even learned
Taking aim! Rey the hard way where she needs to
takes on the First wear the equivalent of sunscreen!
Order during From Star Wars color theory, I knew
a pivotal scene in Rey is a hero. Just from the costume
The Force Awakens. you can tell she’s practical, clever,
and not afraid of getting dirty.
