50 Most Iconic Star Wars Costumes

50. Zam Wesell

Like a not-insignificant portion of the prequel trilogy costumes, bounty hunter Zam Wesell’s look has ludicrous amounts of detail. It’s easily seen in Dressing a Galaxy, written by prequel trilogy costume designer Trisha Biggar (154-55). Her vest laces up the sides. She has a set of beads hanging from her belt. Her gloves have metal accents. (We presume the Star Wars galaxy has fingerprinting, so gloves are also effective.) Her boots have metal toe coverings, for maximum kicking potential. She has two holsters, one at her hip and the other on her thigh. The look actually has multiple shades of purple!

You just don’t see it, since most of the Coruscant chase scene is quite dark.

However, Zam Wesell shows a much different bounty hunter look, with more leather in comparison to the Mandalorian armor both Jango and Boba Fett wear in the prequel and original trilogies, respectively. Generally, Zam’s look is also more form-fitting and doesn’t appear to be armored at all, mirroring her first choice of a long-distance assassination attempt in AOTC.

Naturally, her veil helps to hide her face, something we suspect would be important in her line of work. It does work on a symbolic level as well, though: Zam is a shapeshifter. When she dies, her face returns to its original state, revealing her as an alien.
