Description

This outfit took about 3-4 days to create (and about a week or two of planning). Before any questions are sent to us about the design, we took the liberty of answering a few common ones that we expected to be asked:

Why is the outfit an open style?
Well when it came to planning the royal outfit design, we took the approach that shows star wanting to change the dynamic of the butterfly lineage and how it’s viewed. She want’s to show that she’s different and not like her ancestors before her, that she doesn’t intend to follow tradition and how thing’s use to be. She want’s to make up her own story, forge her own history instead of repeat it, and show that she’s not trapped by the standards of how mewni use to be run. We use this word “trapped” because if you look at the previous designs of her mother and her grandmothers royal attire, they’re designed in a “closed style” fashion. We took the symbolism of this in that moon and the previous queens were not open to change, remaining shut in to their ways.
Star, however, wants to change how things currently are, between mewni and monsters and the traditions that are required of the butterfly family, how they should look, act, and handle royal matters. While the relationship between mewni and monsters has healed some at this time in the AU where she takes reign, there’s a lot more work that needs to be done. She’s more open to change, and for this reason we styled star’s outfit to be more “open”, but not to the point where it’s too open. Otherwise we couldn’t call it “royal attire” anymore.

Why Orange and Purple?
Well when it came to planning the royal family colors for this new generation of butterfly’s, our aim was to not only reference the symbolism of royalty behind them but also show that star intends to change how things currently are within mewni. Purple was an easy choice as it symbolizes the color of royalty. Orange however took quite a bit of thinking before we decided on it being part of the family colors. Here’s the reason(s):

In order to create change, star needs to demonstrate power. No, we don’t mean through brute force (although that does sound like something star would do). Star has shown that she, at the moment, possess incredible magic potential to where she has succeeded her mother and possibly up to when Queen Eclipsa took reign in the episode “Baby”. However, showing your power as queen through brute force could make matters worse. So what better way to demonstrate power, that you intend to follow through with your promises to create change within mewni, than by wearing the colors of your butterfly form?
Another reason behind why we chose orange is because of the meaning behind it. Orange, as seen by many, is the color of joy. It emits an aura that promotes a sense of emotion and wellness that should be shared amongst everyone. Compassion, passion, and warmth are among the 3 traits that tie in with these. What better way to show that you wish to change the relationship between mewni and monsters than by sporting the colors of healing and warmth?
The last reason? Because that’s the color’s of Nacho’s!!

Why didn’t you use the colors of the blood moon ball?
Well, we could have and we originally wanted too, however in respect to @gravityfying paneyneygirl Lappystel and DAsKeTcHeRZ we didn’t want to take away/copy a feature that directly correlates with their AU. That, and we also want our AU to remain original. There’s very little AU’s that touch on the subject of a firstborn male butterfly (or at least in grave detail), and we want to remain proud of the fact that we created an AU that encompassed around that without taking idea’s/features from other AU’s

So it’s because of that that we stayed away from the blood moon ball colors red/white/pink. However, there is a strong tie between taroverse and the blood moon within this AU that has yet to be mentioned.

Even though we can’t see it, does star have gloves like her mother?
No, she doesn’t. This ALLL comes back to symbolism haha!
Gloves are meant to “cover up” your hands. We took the symbolism behind what it means to “cover up” something. Star has nothing to hide, and she doesn’t intend to hide anything from anyone, especially the fact that her and Marco have given birth to the very first male butterfly with cheek marks. In fact, she flaunts that!
Whats up with stars crown?
Well, because it’s a new line of butterfly’s reigning over mewni, we thought it was appropriate to create a new crown for star and marco. Everything within her outfit hit’s that word “change” “change” “CHANGE”. So how could we promote that her design emits change if we used the exact same design crown that her mother once wore? No, she doesn’t have any sour feelings towards her mother or her ancestors, however we want’s to be her own person.

Whats up with that middle piece? it looks familar…
If you noticed that, than you are spot on. The chest peice design is actually a combination of star’s “Super butterfly mode” and the ribbon that was once on her “blood moon ball” outfit. We thought this was the perfect center peice considering the meaning behind why we chose Orange as part of her families royal attire.
That’s all we could answer for now, however if you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask us!
