Padmé didn't wear bras (or underwear) in Star Wars because director George Lucas famously told Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) there was "no underwear in space," a rule extended to other characters like Padmé, suggesting a sci-fi lack of undergarments for comfort or visual reasons, though Carrie Fisher found the rule odd and compared it to Padmé's frequent costume changes, as cited in Wookieepedia and Reddit. While Leia famously went braless under her white robes (using gaffer tape instead), Padmé's elaborate outfits often made bras impractical or unnecessary for the desired look.

The "3 bra rule" is a guideline recommending you own at least three bras for a simple rotation: one to wear, one to wash, and one to rest (in the drawer), allowing elastic to recover between wears to extend the bra's lifespan and maintain fit.
