The World has lost many legends this year, just a couple of days ago we were shocked at George Michael’s death and yesterday the actor best known for her Princess Leia role in the Star Wars film, Carrie Fisher has passed away at the age of 60. Being the daughter of two Hollywood stars, Debbie Reynolds and singer Eddie Fisher she brought awareness and humor to her work throughout the years. Carrie Fisher has been known and famous for three big reasons: One, for her Princess Leia role, two, for being known as a personal style icon and three, for her writing.

Fisher had shot to stardom in 1977 upon the release of the original Star Wars, a movie that changed Hollywood and a franchise that continues to captivate new audiences around the world. Other roles followed for her after this but nothing matched the attention she received for this sci-fi series. In Star Wars she a great and powerful princess – feisty, wise and full of hope. Her hair buns and golden bikini is a style that is unforgettable to many and is one of the most desired costumes for people to wear.

The second reason of being known as a person style icon is because usually celebrities and actors are known to have stylists taking care of what they wear. Carrie Fisher was different like that she choose everything on her own. Her favourite accessory was Gary, her dog with the uncontrollably wagging tongue, she took him everywhere, including late-night appearances. Gary wasn’t just her best friend, he was her therapy dog, too, a reminder of her fallibility and of our own. During any red carpet even, Fisher used to stand out in the crowd with the way she used to pose and mock the standard red carpet posing.
