Despite the rain, this soon-to-be mom was determined to enjoy her day out. Gal Gadot was spotted in Los Angeles, keeping cozy in layers to protect herself from the weather. Her pregnant belly was hidden under her comfortable outfit as she made her way to Fred Segal’s in West Hollywood.
Fully covered up: Gal Gadot protected herself from the rain while out in Los Angeles with a friend. The Israeli actress and model appeared relaxed with her hair tied back, grinning from behind oversized black sunglasses as she strolled towards the renowned fashion spot. Clad in a warm, black coat and wrapped up in a cozy scarf, she seemed unfazed by the wet, gloomy conditions. Below, she sported dark jeans and black combat boots adorned with a maroon strap and a prominent gold buckle.
On a rainy shopping day, the 31-year-old Wonder Woman actress was on her way to Fred Segal’s store with a female friend, both stylishly dressed in black. Gadot gave her friend a quick peck on the cheek as she took cover under the hood of her olive green jacket from the rain. The iconic Justice League character will soon make cinematic history with her solo feature film debut later this year. After 75 years, Wonder Woman will finally take the spotlight as the main character in her own big-screen adventure, a feat that many have attempted but none have achieved until now.
A friendly peck: Gadot planted a quick kiss on her friend’s cheek while her friend sought shelter from the rain under a hooded olive green jacket. Not everyone believes that the fictional renaissance woman deserves all the praise, as stated in a Time article from December. Backlash ensued when Wonder Woman was named an honorary ambassador by the United Nations in October 2016, leading to her title being stripped just two months later in December. A petition signed by 600 UN employees criticized the depiction of Wonder Woman as a scantily clad figure, despite her roles as a suffragist, military member, and even President of the United States, arguing that she is seen as a mere ‘pin-up’ girl symbolizing female power.
Gal Gadot’s background as a former Miss Israel and Israeli Defense Forces soldier embodies the perceived contradictions of Wonder Woman perfectly. She challenges the idea that a smart and strong woman cannot also be sexy, questioning why Wonder Woman can’t encompass all these qualities. Fans can witness Gadot’s portrayal of the iconic hero in her upcoming film, set to be released on June 2, where director Patty Jenkins will also be making history as one of the first female directors to helm a big-budget superhero movie.
Set to hit theaters on June 2, fans are eagerly awaiting Gal Gadot’s portrayal of Wonder Woman in her solo movie, finally brought to life by director Patty Jenkins.
