An expectant mother didn’t let a bit of rain get in the way of her enjoyment. Gal Gadot was all wrapped up to stay dry as she went out in Los Angeles with a friend, dressed in comfy clothes that hid her pregnancy belly. The 31-year-old Wonder Woman actress was on her way to Fred Segal’s in West Hollywood.
Fully prepared for the rainy weather, Gal Gadot was seen in Los Angeles, walking with a friend. The Israeli actress and model had her hair neatly pulled back and donned stylish wide-framed black sunglasses, appearing fresh-faced despite the weather. Her outfit included a thick black coat, a cozy scarf, dark denim pants, and black combat boots with a maroon strap adorned with a large gold buckle. She seemed unfazed by the damp and dreary conditions as she made her way through the parking lot towards the famous fashion destination.
On a rainy day of shopping, the 31-year-old Wonder Woman actress was spotted heading to Fred Segal’s retail store. Accompanied by a female friend also in black attire, Gadot planted a quick kiss on her friend’s cheek. The Justice League star is set to create history this year with her role as Wonder Woman in the character’s debut standalone film. Despite many failed attempts in the past, this will mark the first time the iconic superhero, with a 75-year legacy, will have a movie solely focused on her as the protagonist.
Hug Hug: Gadot planted a quick peck on her friend’s cheek while her friend took cover from the rain under the hood of her stylish olive green jacket. Not everyone agrees with the idea of celebrating this fictional renaissance woman, as reported in a December article by Time magazine. Once Wonder Woman was named an honorary ambassador by the United Nations in October 2016, the backlash was so strong that by December of the same year, she was stripped of the title. A petition signed by 600 UN staff members circulated, expressing discontent with a scantily clad character who has been portrayed as a suffragist, military figure, and even President of the United States, but is also seen as the ultimate ‘pin-up’ girl representing female empowerment.
In real life, Gal Gadot embodies the contradictions that make Wonder Woman so fascinating. Crowned Miss Israel in 2004 and a former soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces, Gadot’s diverse background reflects the complexity of the iconic superhero she portrays.
When asked about criticisms of Wonder Woman’s revealing outfit, Gadot expressed her confusion, questioning why intelligence and strength can’t coexist with sex appeal. She believes that Wonder Woman can embody all these qualities, and fans will get to see her interpretation of the character in the upcoming film directed by Patty Jenkins.
Jenkins, one of the few female directors with a budget exceeding $100 million, is making history with this project. Together, Gadot and Jenkins are breaking barriers and bringing Wonder Woman to life in a powerful and empowering way.
Get ready to witness Gal Gadot’s powerful portrayal of Wonder Woman in her highly anticipated solo film on June 2. Director Patty Jenkins has finally brought this project to fruition, giving fans the chance to see the iconic superhero in a whole new light.
