An OnlyFans model has left social media fans’ pulses racing by dressing up as Princess Leia in celebration of Star Wars Day.
Charlotte Rose, 27, from Essex, quit her role as a police dog handler after a year because the male-dominated job wasn’t suited to her.
She joined the adult content website in 2016 and is now raking in up to £80,000 every month, sharing sexy snaps of herself to her devoted fans.
Taking to Instagram earlier today (@charlieerose3), who has 123,000 followers, the model dressed in the iconic brown and gold bikini worn in the 1983 film Return of the Jedi.
Charlotte also wears a long brown drape to mimic the look in addition to a matching choker and arm band.
The costume is worn in the iconic scene where Princess Leia is taken prisoner and enslaved by crime lord Jabba the Hutt while trying to take Han Solo from Jabba’s possession.
The character is later released by her brother Luke and together they defeat the mighty Jabba.
Charlotte finished off the look with two plaits – steering away from the iconic ‘space buns’ worn by late actress Carrie Fisher.
She uploaded the snap this morning (4 May) – known as May The Fourth Be With You – the caption read: “Happy Star Wars Day”.
Fan Reactions
Social media users rushed to comment on Charlotte’s Star Wars tribute.
One Instagram user commented: “The force is strong with you.”
A second fan wrote: “Beautiful.”
“You are the most beautiful princess in the whole saga,” commented a third.
A fourth social media user said: “Yassssss.”
Referring to her caption another person said: “Same to you.”
From Police Dog Handler to OnlyFans Success
Charlotte’s career transformation from police dog handler to top OnlyFans earner represents a dramatic shift in both environment and income.
Her description of the police role as “male-dominated” and “not suited to her” suggests she experienced challenges in law enforcement culture that prompted her exit after just one year.
The move to OnlyFans in 2016 – relatively early in the platform’s history – positioned Charlotte to build substantial following before the pandemic-driven creator influx.
Her current earnings of up to £80,000 monthly far exceed what police dog handlers earn, validating her career change financially if not conventionally.

Like other creators who’ve left traditional careers for OnlyFans, Charlotte found both higher income and greater autonomy through the platform.
The Iconic Costume Choice
Charlotte’s selection of Princess Leia’s slave outfit for Star Wars Day represents one of cinema’s most recognisable – and controversial – costumes.
The brown and gold metal bikini worn in Return of the Jedi has been simultaneously celebrated as iconic and criticised for objectifying Carrie Fisher’s character.
The scene’s context – Leia imprisoned and enslaved by Jabba – adds layers of problematic elements that feminist critics have long debated.
However, the costume remains enormously popular for cosplay and themed celebrations, with many women reclaiming it as empowerment rather than objectification.
Charlotte’s recreation includes the full accessories: long brown drape, matching choker and arm band, demonstrating attention to detail beyond just the bikini.
May the Fourth Tradition
Star Wars Day, celebrated annually on May 4th due to the pun “May the Fourth Be With You” (referencing the franchise’s “May the Force Be With You”), has become major pop culture event.
Fans worldwide share Star Wars content, dress in costume, and celebrate the beloved franchise on this date.
For OnlyFans creators, themed content around cultural moments like Star Wars Day provides engagement opportunities whilst showcasing versatility beyond standard content.
Charlotte’s timing – posting “this morning (4 May)” – ensured maximum visibility whilst the hashtag trended across social platforms.
The Plaits vs Space Buns Choice
Charlotte’s decision to style her hair in two plaits rather than Princess Leia’s iconic “space buns” represents creative interpretation of the look.
The space buns (coiled buns on either side of the head) are Princess Leia’s most recognisable hairstyle, worn in the original 1977 Star Wars film.
However, in Return of the Jedi’s slave outfit scene, Leia’s hair hangs loose rather than in buns.
Charlotte’s plaits offer compromise – clearly referencing Princess Leia whilst avoiding the impracticality of recreating the complex bun structure.
2016 OnlyFans Pioneer
Charlotte’s 2016 join date makes her among the platform’s earliest adopters, predating mainstream awareness by several years.
Starting OnlyFans just one year after leaving police work suggests rapid pivot to adult content creation once she recognised traditional employment limitations.
The seven years she’s maintained presence on the platform (2016-2023) through various market changes demonstrates sustained success rather than brief opportunism.
Dating Difficulties Despite Success
Charlotte made headlines earlier this year after revealing she has never had a date, despite her popularity online.
She previously told Jam Press she was scared of gold diggers as a result of her lucrative content online.
The irony of attracting 123,000 Instagram followers and substantial paying OnlyFans subscribers whilst being unable to secure genuine romantic connection reflects challenges many successful creators face.
Her fear of “gold diggers” – people interested in her money rather than her person – represents rational concern given her £80,000 monthly income visibility.
The combination of sex work stigma and wealth creates double barrier: potential partners either judge her career or covet her earnings.
Return of the Jedi Context
For those unfamiliar with Star Wars lore, the scene Charlotte references occurs in Return of the Jedi when Princess Leia attempts to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt’s palace.
Jabba, a grotesque slug-like crime lord, captures Leia and forces her into the revealing costume whilst keeping her chained as decoration.
Leia later uses the very chains enslaving her to strangle Jabba, turning symbol of her captivity into weapon of liberation.
This narrative of turning objectification into empowerment resonates with how many view the costume’s continued popularity.
The £80,000 Monthly Calculation
Charlotte’s peak earnings of £80,000 monthly translate to nearly £1 million annually, placing her among OnlyFans’ top earners.
Even if this represents her highest months rather than consistent average, the income level demonstrates exceptional success within the platform’s creator economy.
Her 123,000 Instagram followers likely serve as marketing funnel, driving traffic to paid OnlyFans content.
Police Work to Adult Content
The career trajectory from police dog handler to OnlyFans creator might seem dramatic, but reflects broader patterns of women leaving male-dominated fields.
Police work’s culture challenges – including sexism, harassment, and lack of accommodation for women – drive many female officers to exit.
Charlotte’s one-year tenure suggests she quickly recognised the role wasn’t sustainable or desirable long-term.
The description that it “wasn’t suited to her” could reference culture, physical demands, or mismatch between her personality and law enforcement requirements.
Essex Base
Charlotte’s Essex location places her in county known for reality television personalities and glamorous aesthetics – fitting backdrop for OnlyFans success.
The area’s proximity to London provides access to photographers, events, and networking opportunities whilst maintaining lower cost of living than the capital.
For now, Charlotte continues building her OnlyFans empire from Essex, celebrating pop culture moments with themed content whilst navigating the dating difficulties her success creates – Princess Leia costume and all.
