"Master, can't we turn up the heat in the Temple a bit!" "Need central heat, a Jedi does not!"
Yes, the lake retreat was also an Italian location, I think. It does stand out stylistically so much.
I can imagine the Jedi starting off trying to dress in Peasant Chic (popular on Tatooine and many other worlds!) for blending in and humility, and then slowly bringing in the raw silk shirts that only look rustic (looking at you, Yoda! who needs silk in a swamp, I ask you?)
The mask-like face paint does seem like it's meant to make the Queen a symbol. It reminds me both of Queen Elizabeth in her later days (when she really caked it on) and geisha. And a bit of The Last Emperor, where it's all about the symbolic ruling. (Amidala swiped her Senate hairstyle from one of the wives in that movie, too!)
