They weren't dressed in rags but they weren't dressed to look like idiots. Why not do it that way?

Who was dressed to look like an idiot? I admit Padme's Queen get-ups were a bit over the top (although IMHO not outrageously so), but seriously, who looked like an idiot? Even Jar Jar just had a vest and leather pants.

There were a lot more characters than just Padme and Jar Jar. Take a look at some of the outfits worn by minor characters. And Padme did look like an idiot.
