For all the fuss made about light sabers and helmets from the iconic film series Star Wars, there’s one article of clothing that men and women both want. That bikini.
The costume was sold Friday by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions for $175,000, according to the auction house that handled the sale.
Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) wears the item while captured by Jabba the Hutt at his palace on Tatooine.
The seven-piece ensemble, which includes a bikini brassiere, bikini plates, hip rings, an armlet and a bracelet, was designed by the late Richard Miller who was the chief sculptor for Industrial Light & Magic, the visual effects company founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas.
