This is Padmé's funeral gown that she wears during her funeral on Naboo. You'll notice that she has the jappor snippet that Anakin made her in her hands.
Design:
"For her funeral in Revenge of the Sith, Padmé's cloak was made in a wave-shaped silk devoré and painted in watery gray-blue hues. The underdress in a silk mousseline is ombré-dyed in blue-greens with the hand-pleated panels that form the costume falling from a smocked yoke area that is edged with silver and sapphie-stone decoration. The cloak is also scattered with cold-dyed hand-strung iridescent vintage sequins that were used to create the floating ribbons and ties that are laid over the dress and cloak. Fresh flowers and leaves were carefully placed about her hair and costume."

"My favorite costume that Trisha designed for the prequel trilogy is the one Natalie wears in her funeral. It's a very moving shot in which her open coffin slowly glides under the camera. I remember asking Trisha why she chose the specific fabric and color for that dress. She looked at me in bewilderment, and very gentle explained that the color-this beautiful azure blue-and the rippled fabric matched the ethereal and melancholy landscape of the Naboo lake retreat at Lake Como, where Padmé and anakin fell in love. This is where Padmé had wanted to escape with Anakin, and the funeral gown symbolizes her spiritual return to that lake."
-Rick McCallum
"I think they call it the 'End Dress.' It's really, really beautiful. I think Trisha wanted to get an ocean sense. Someone said to me that it was very 'Ophelia.' With the flowers and the hair, it does look like I'm drowning."
