The Force is strong with this one.
Late “Star Wars” legend Carrie Fisher was posthumously honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Thursday on May 4 — known as Star Wars Day — and her daughter, Billie Lourd, picked a fitting look for the occasion.
The “Booksmart” star, 30, looked lovely in a maxi dress printed with a giant image of Princess Leia, her mother’s iconic character from the George Lucas film franchise.
Even her black starry manicure was a nod to a galaxy far, far away; one of her middle-finger nails was painted with Princess Leia’s likeness, while another featured the symbol for the Rebel Alliance.
Lourd’s sequined gown was custom-made by Rodarte, the LA-based label designed by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, which showed a collection of gowns screened with images of Luke Skywalker, Yoda, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Yoda as part of its fall 2014 collection.
While a Leia-inspired design wasn’t included in the original lineup, it would appear Fisher — who died in December 2016 at age 60 following a heart attack — willed the creation into existence.
In a 2014 Harper’s Bazaar piece, Fisher told the design duo, “I want to see a dress with Leia on it.”
Responded Laura Mulleavy at the time, “It’s only going to be half the dress, body only, because your face needs to be on top.”
Rodarte’s played a large role in Lourd’s life in other ways as well; the Mulleavys (both lifelong “Star Wars” fans) designed the “Scream Queens” star’s duo of wedding dresses when she married husband Austen Rydell in 2022.
Lourd later told Vogue she discovered and “immediately fell in love” with Rodarte after the aforementioned Bazaar interview between the Mulleavys and her mother.
The bride honored Fisher by wearing her hair in intricate braids on her big day.
While accepting Fisher’s posthumous honor Thursday, Lourd recalled the experience of watching “Star Wars” for the first time in middle school after “boys started coming up to me and telling me they ‘fantasized’ about my mom.”
“I wanted to hate it so I could tell her how lame she was. Like any kid, I didn’t want my mom to be hot or cool — she was my mom,” Lourd said.
“But that day, staring at the screen, I realized no one is or will ever be as hot or as cool as Princess Leia.”
