Princess Leia’s Dress Won’t Be Sold… Yet
June 29, 2023
Princess Leia’s iconic white dress from Star Wars won’t be moving to a new galaxy after all. The frock failed to sell at auction. The dress was favored to sell for up to $2 million, but the highest bid only reached $975,000. Auctioneers decided that price didn’t meet their reserve and decided not to sell. A "Star Wars" crew member took the dress after filming but left it crumpled in his attic for decades. The dress took about 10 months to be restored to its glory.
