At the third annual Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic-Con 2016, host and founder Ashley Eckstein wore the very first couture LEGO gown!
The gown was designed by 2014 Audience Award winner Andrew MacLaine and brick artist Nathan Sawaya. It was made from 10,000 LEGO pieces and weighed over 25 pounds!
The long, sleek dress featured the face of Ahsoka Tano, of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, on the front. (For those of you who don’t know, Eckstein is the voice of the beloved animated character!)
