Princess Leia's iconic gold bikini costume from "Return of the Jedi" sold for $175,000 at an auction handled by Heritage Auctions.
The ensemble, created by Star Wars concept sculptor Richard Miller, included a bikini top, plates, rings, armlet, and bracelet, with a more comfortable version used in the final film.
Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, said she felt "nearly naked" and "very nervous" wearing the revealing outfit, which faced criticism for sexualizing her male fans.
