Some days we are drowning in homework, lectures, classes and work. We’re expected to handle our social, academic, and professional lives with grace and excel at everything we attempt.

In short, we’re expected to be Wonder Woman.

For the past few weeks, we’ve covered fashion on TV (see past posts on The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl). On this week’s Heroic Styles, we’re going straight to the big screen and taking inspiration from Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman for those days when the pressure is too much and we need a little bit of divine help to get us through.

About Wonder Woman

Considered the greatest superheroine of all time, Wonder Woman is a character created by DC Comics, who made her first appearance in 1941.

Diana Prince, Wonder Woman’s civilian alter-ego, is a warrior and one of the strongest characters in The Justice League. She’s an experienced leader and a pacifist.

In spite of being a central character in the DC Universe and a founding member of various superhero team-ups, Wonder Woman was often relegated to being kidnapped or de-powered. In 1975, that changed, when the TV show Wonder Woman premiered and it turned Lynda Carter in the most iconic Wonder Woman actress ever.

Diana’s style in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU)

In the past decade, Diana has been resurrected as a character on screen and is part of the new DC Extended Universe series of films.

Diana’s first live-action DCEU cinematic debut was in Batman V. Superman on 2016, 75 years after her debut in the comics. Following that, she finally got her own movie in 2017.
