Top 10 Princess Leia Cosplay Costumes (Links to Original Artists Included!)

Carrie Fisher (the legendary actress who played Princess Leia back in the old day) is remembered by many for her rather sexy outfit, refereed to as the "metal bikini". As such you can expect many of the cosplay on this list to be just that, but we will try to include as much variety as possible! However, it is important to note that Carrie Fisher never disliked the fact that she practically became a "cult sex symbol". Another thing that Princess Leia's appearance is also associated with is the the "cinnamon bun" hairstyle so expect to see some of that as well! Let's start, shall we (btw, more Star Wars 7 news coming soon)?

Top 10 Princess Leia Cosplay

Virchan's Princess Leia Cosplay

 Let's start with the classic Princess Leia look (no, no the bikini one). Cosplay artist and DeviantArt remember Virchan really did a great job creating this cosplay. Everything is so well done: the costume, the hairstyle, the makeup and the the stormtroopers are even there to portray this iconic scene.

By the way, if miss the stormtroopers, your inner child may rejoice as we might see them in the upcoming movie.

Princess Leia on Endor Cosplay by Lady Lomax

Some of you may have thought that this would just be a list of various Princess Leia costumes where the artist is either in a white dress or in a bikini. But Lady Lomax decided to create a cosplay based on the iconic scenes from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.

Leia on Planet Hoth by Bria Silivren

Here's another great look at another one of Princess Leia's less famous outfits - the rebellion gear from planet Hoth. Artist Bria Silivren from New Zealand did a great job and we highly encourage you to check out the link to see her other amazing work.

By the way, did you check-out our list of the best Star Wars cosplay from Comic-Con 2013?

Princess Leia Metal Bikini + Jabba the Hutt

Alright here it is, a cosplay of the famous "metal bikini" that Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) wore in the 1983 for the movie Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The outfit is also known as Leia's "slave outfit". We really liked Meg Truney's cosplay (seen bellow) because it even features Jabba the Hutt!

Hipster Princess Leia

So, when Disney bought Lucasfilm and the exclusive rights to the Star Wars license there were a lot of negativereaction. DeviantArt user Sheikahchica, however, decided to make a very funny cosplay with "Hipster Leia" who was a "Princess before Disney bought Star Wars". This is of course a reference to the fact that Disney is famous for having its cartoons feature princesses (with the latest addition being Anna and Elsa from Frozen).

Princess Leia on Endor by Lady Lomax v2

Here's  another look at Lady Lomax's Princess Leia Endor cosplay. This time it even features a very cool speeder from Cinemastery Studios. A great costume - and a great set for the Endor scene.

Han Solo and Princess Leia - Finally United!

This shot captures a lot more emotion than any other cosplay I've seen in a long while. Here we see a young couple posing as Princess Leia and Han Solo in a very romantic kiss scene. You can really tell that the two are truly in love by the way that scene just showcases so much emotion. Truly beautiful! Check out the original here and give them a lot of likes! The photo was taken at Comic Con 2009.

We've mentioned Comic Con a lot in this post so far, so let's keep the wheel spinning: if you are heading out to San Diego for Comic Con 2013 this month, be sure to check out the Star Wars panel and get an exclusive view at the new animated series "Rebels".

Princess Leia and R2-D2 by Ivy95

DeviantArt user Ivy95 is a well-known cosplayer from the US and this is just one of her great Princess Leia outfits. What makes the shot even better is the amazing R2-D2 replica

Princess Leia Bikini x2

What's better than a girl in a Princess Leia bikini costume? Why obviously two girls! I must admit that these ladies are looking extremely sexy, but I'll also point out that their costume is pretty good. However, I will say that the first bikini outfit from Meg Truney that was posted had a lot more detail.

Last, but not least, is this great cosplay from DeviantArt user Aigue-Marine (you need to see her other work as well btw!)
