Princess Leia's Daughter Is Reprising That Iconic "Star Wars" Look

It's an homage to a style created a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Anyone who watched the hilarious Scream Queens series premiere knows that Chanel No. 3 (Billie Lourd) loves herself a fuzzy pair of earmuffs. But this sartorial choice is not solely a function of fashion.

"There is a very specific reason why she wears them, and you find out in either episode six or seven," Scream Queens co-creator Brad Falchuk told The Hollywood Reporter. "We find out why she wears the earmuffs, but it’s not just fashion. It’s necessity. The funny thing with that is that it didn’t start as a necessity. It started as fun, and then once we had them and it looked great, it was like, 'Oh, we’ve got to give a good reason for it.' So we put that in there."

Whatever the reason, here's hoping Lourd turns out to be half as kick-ass as her mom!
