Famous bikini - Carrie Fisher's Star-Wars bikini costume auctions
A famous outfit of the late Star-War actress Carrie Fisher was sold in the USA for over 160,000 Euros. The golden bikini costume along with the hip and arm rings went under the hammer at Heritage Auctions in Dallas for 175,000 Dollars.
A miniature version of a Y-wing spaceship used during the filming of the first Star-Wars film was even sold for the impressive sum of 1.55 Million Dollars (1.4 Mio. Euro).
Fisher, who passed away in December 2016 at the age of 60, had worn the costume in her role as Princess Leia in "Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi". In the 1983 film, Leia is held as a personal slave by the criminal boss Jabba, until she manages to strangle him with the very chain she had been chained to him with.
The costume was designed by Richard Miller. Heritage Auctions described it as: "Without a doubt, Carrie Fisher's "Slave Leia" costume is one of the most memorable in the Star-Wars franchise."
