Princess Leia bikini sells for $96,000
5 October 2015 Entertainment & Arts
The "slave Leia" bikini worn by actress Carrie Fisher in Return of the Jedi has been sold for $96,000 (£63,220).
Bidding for the costume opened at $80,000 at the online auction, run by US firm Profiles In History.
As well as the bikini, the unnamed winner received a collar, several chain links, and a letter of authenticity from Star Wars designer Richard Miller.
Fisher disliked the outfit, calling it "what supermodels will eventually wear in the seventh ring of hell."
