5. Leia’s Gold Bikini
Leia’s gold bikini in Return of the Jedi became iconic for the wrong reasons. While it symbolized her enslavement by Jabba the Hutt, it overshadowed her bravery and intelligence. Instead of highlighting her escape as a moment of empowerment, the outfit reduced her to an object of the male gaze in fan culture. A practical costume or weapon for her escape could have emphasized her ingenuity and resilience.
