A Modern-Day Leia

There has been a lot of hubbub surrounding the recent Blu-ray release of Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI), especially concerning the latest round of changes (Ewoks blink!) and if the 83849th re-release of the series is entirely necessary (of course!). As a somewhat-new Star Wars fan, I'm pretty excited to see what else Lucas tweaked to fit his vision. Honestly, I wish they'd re-shoot I-III with more charismatic actors, but I digress--this is a fashion blog!

Throughout the saga, Princess Leia dons several iconic outfits (metal bikini, anyone?), inspiring legions of Comic-Con copycats and nerd-boy fantasies for decades to come. As a nerd girl, my fantasies are of a different variety--what would she have worn today? Here's my guess:

Halston dress, $675 (was $1,930) /Fantoosherie flower hair accessory, $15 / Laura Mercier Satin Lip Color in 'Sangria', $22 / Topshop tassle belt, $68 / A'Gaci ankle booties, $22

What do you think--does it have the same amount of ass-kicking potential?
