Get ready for an exciting auction featuring Princess Leia’s iconic white gown from the original “Star Wars” film! Alongside more than 1,400 Hollywood costumes, props, and other movie memorabilia, the live auction organized by Propstore will take place from June 28-30 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
Propstore, a London-based movie prop vendor, estimates that the collection of items up for sale could fetch over $12 million combined. Highlights include Batman’s Batpod motorcycle from “The Dark Knight,” Brad Pitt’s shield from “Troy,” and Daniel Radcliffe’s “mud-splattered” cloak and glasses from “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.”
Over the years, the value of movie memorabilia has skyrocketed, with film fanatics eagerly bidding on rare props. In 2019, new bidders spent roughly $1.7 million on genuine production props, compared to nearly $9 million in 2022, according to Propstore data.
Princess Leia’s Ceremonial Dress
Carrie Fisher wore this stunning white gown, accompanied by a silver-leather belt, as Princess Leia in “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” (1977). The costume, featured in the movie’s final scene, is expected to sell for an impressive $1 million to $2 million. Designed by John Mollo, who won the Oscar for Best Costume Design in 1978, the dress was recently discovered in a London attic and underwent a meticulous restoration by professional textile conservators.
