A piece of Star Wars history has sold for a hefty price. The gold bikini worn by the late Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi fetched a staggering $175,000 at a recent auction.
The seven-piece costume, including hip rings, an armlet, and a bracelet, was part of a larger Hollywood memorabilia sale. Despite being a screen-test version and not the final film costume, it attracted significant interest from Star Wars enthusiasts.
The bikini, infamous for its revealing nature, has become a cultural touchstone. Fisher herself was vocal about her discomfort with the outfit, but it has undeniably cemented its place in pop culture.
This record-breaking sale further solidifies the bikini's iconic status and the enduring appeal of Star Wars memorabilia.
