My favorite Leia is Hoth Leia. Full body snowsuit, twirly hair.
OP, let her wear what she likes, and help her with a backstory if she wants one. |

She is a princess in a Disney movie. But she is not an "official" Disney Princess (yes, there is a difference but I don't claim to understand it). The 12 "official" princesses are Belle, Rapunzel, Ariel, Tiana, Moana, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White, Merida, Pocahontas, Jasmine and Mulan. |

I mean, she was a princess, and Star Wars is owned by Disney.... |

There are official and unofficial princesses? Weird. Anyway, you guys, Elsa is a queen. |

I guess that's why several people here have mentioned going to dress up parties. We're in the suburbs in a moderately priced preschool and none of my kids' friends have ever requested any sort of attire. |

| We were invited to a dress up party that was Star wars themed. I tried to talk my daughter into wearing a princess Leia style outfit but she decided she wanted to dress up as Mary Poppins and a classmate of hers dressed up as Belle. Nobody seemed to care that the kids weren't dressed up with the right theme. |

At the end of the movie. She's a princess at the beginning. |

| How about a police officer costume a la Kindergarten Cop? |

A photo/ story of that could probably go viral.

Please don't force her to wear a dress or other princess paraphernalia if she doesn't want to. It's a party and she should be comfortable (physically and mentally) in what she's wearing!
DD, now 7, has never liked Princesses or dresses. (Not for lack of opportunity - we finally just gave away the dress up box full of princess stuff) She was invited to a tea party in preschool and encouraged to wear a fancy/dressup dress and had a costume jewelry. DD wanted none of it. She showed up in a sparkly sweater and pants and had a wonderful time and no one cared. If she wants to be Princess Leia, awesome. If she wants to wear a cape or tiara, awesome. If she wants to wear a party sweater and pants, go for it. |

+1. We had a big bin of dress up clothes at my daughter's party and kids changed dresses and accessories often. I think everyone tried on a princess dress at least once, but there were lots of options and trading. No big deal. |

I would let her wear something dress up but not force the Princess issue, she can be a dinosuar if she wants to.
I would roleplay with her a little but with how to respond to the questions about why she isnt a Princess so she feels empowered in her choices. |
