Eh, sure, but some of her outfits would be completely insane to wear in a war situation as the security service would have a very hard time evacuating her

Doesn’t she usually have her body double wear these clothes, and she herself wear the more practical attendant(?) outfit?

It’s about 50/50. She spends most of the movie dressed as a handmaiden, but that’s largely because the Tatooine sequence lasts so long.
