Ladies And Gentlemen: TV Wonder Woman’s Costume

I am all about the pants, but why does it look like this was picked up at a latex fetish shop? They should have gone with a darker color scheme and made everything look like it was made from something more leathery and durable instead of like a cheap vinyl halloween costume. This is too over the top. Plus, heels?

I was holding out hope that this Wonder Woman series would be done right and that Wonder Woman would be tough and capable and naturally beautiful without all the makeup, but if this costume is the standard they’re going for, I’m not feeling reassured at all.

*sigh*

I agree with the points above and would add that it seems a little too shiny but maybe that’s just the picture?

Ditto the shiny-fetish-shop look. Also, why are her bracelets silver instead of matching gold? And the strapless bustier? Completely unrealistic. Even the comic added straps! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wonder_Woman_(new_costume)-.jpg

I gotta admit the heels piss me off more than anything. The outfit is great for me and would be perfect if she just had flat boots. Which BTW I love about the new Batwoman comic – flat heels!!

tttooooo shhhhiiiiiiinnyyyyyy. I am afraid that they are tossing the potential female audience out and going straight for the 15-35 year old male demographic. Please prove me wrong, TV show producers!

I was so excited about this show’s potential – done right, Wonder Woman could be a great strong female character. But that costume (and I love the pants, but the bustier and majorly exposed cleavage really offend me) is a big “screw you” to the female audience. Clearly, this show is not intended for me.

Needs more Xena.

Yep, definitely looks like a latex fetish shop fancy dress party costume to me too. Definitely agree @trytophan, needs more Xena. She kind of just looks like she’s dressed up to role play with her lover.

Its the belt that bothers me. She’s going to stab herself in the stomach with that thing.

Disappointed by her very obvious boob job, but I guess it’s par for the course for most actresses, even one as beautiful as Adrianne :/ Outfit does look way to shiny and cheap, too, unfortunately. Sigh, I feel a middling to bad superheroine flick on coming on, a la Elektra.

Hey, just wanted to point out that in the comic book WW’s bracelets have been silver for decades (up until this new “reboot” version they are pritning now). Seems like they took the bright color scheme of the 70′s TV show costume and melded it with the current comic version. It’s just too bright and shiny! And what is with that red star in the middle of her chest?! That has to go at a minimum.

I’m happy that there are pants, but those pants don’t look like they fit her at all. The whole thing is just disappointing.

That’s just how boobs look in bustiers. Bustiers lift and separate to the extreme. If you wear one you can actually hear little X-treme guitar riffs going off in your ears until you take it off again.

I’ve seen better Photoshop jobs but this still gives an idea how less is not always trashy. (re-skined Xena I think).

You know, I’m really not all that happy about the pants, for a number of different reasons. First, I find pants uncomfortable, especially if they’re tight, like these are. Second, I find far more flexibility in a skirt, shorts or dress. Yeah, maybe there is more chance of sneaking a glance of underwear, but does a superhero really care about that? As for the cold issue, long socks suffice. Third, I think the color is way too bright, making the whole thing look just a bit silly.

I suppose if they were leggings, not stiff-looking pants, I might like them more on a practical level, but as it stands, I’m not too thrilled.

As for the bustier and heels, yeah, they’re a bit ridiculous.

looks like a halloween costume. I’ve seen better wonder woman suits at cons.
do they have a $5000 budget for this show or something? no excuse for it to look this cheap.

(1) Concurred with all the cheap-fetish-shop comments
(2) Has anyone here ever worn tight latex or vinyl for extended periods of time? They don’t breathe. CHAFING AND SWEAT = not sexy, not practical superhero gear.

@WW – Please don’t use your Lasso of Truth on me and ask about your outfit. :(

★i very like web==lets go★

believe you will love it.

I’m curious: Black Canary: pants or no pants? I don’t think pants are all that important for ‘realistic’ superhero costumes considering that gymnasts and ballerinas wear leotards. As I am neither, I’m sure I couldn’t high kick criminals in heels and/or tap pants, but I believe without a shadow of a doubt that an Amazon could.

My issue with the pants, aside from the shiny-ness/latex club-wear feel, is, hello? Does lady own a vagina? How does she not have a massive camel-toe wearing those things? I don’t think you can do much derring-do with a constant camel-toe, but maybe that’s just a personal choice I’ve made for myself.

I got stuck on a merry-go-round as a kid when my skirt got all tangled up on the pony’s plastic, wavy mane. I cried for HOURS. It was all very traumatic.

The colours and shininess MIGHT be down to how it’s going to look on film… we’ll see.

The fact it looks like vinyl or latex is bizarre. Latex? Really? Eeeew, sweaty.

But honestly, I’ve felt all along that this was NOT going to be a show for all types of audience, so I’m not surprised by the close fit, the mad heels or the bustier.

should’a gone with body paint.Yep.And the gorgeous New Zealander that played Xena.Or Linda Carters 20year old clone…..

I just noticed the stars running down the outside of the pants. Like track pants.

I think I’d prefer to see Wonder Woman in actual track pants and a top with support straps of some kind.

But, most of all, I’d prefer not to have this show exist.

I concur with previous posts about shiney-ness and latex. Aside from the wtf-ery of putting her in heels, (imo) the boots would look better in red.

Aw. I don’t know, I guess I would go for shorts, ’cause each kind of skirt has its ups and downs; in that the tight ones ride up, and the flowy ones get caught on things.

Yeah, I noticed that. The crotch of her pants kind of throws her proportions off, somehow. I’m still trying to get my head around where her crotch actually is.

The boots should be red. Having them blue makes them blend into the pants.

…I was hoping for a little more structure. This looks like a $20 Halloween costume, you know? Thin spandex material. I agree, it’s nice to have her in pants but.. I don’t know it looks…cheap…and plastic-y

$14.99…it was on sale. it looks silly. Especially her boobies poppin’ out all over.

Costume, meh. But can we have a Wonder Woman who seems a little less, um, breakable?

I said the same thing! Xena should of played this role..

Lucy Lawless is probably a little too old now (43). She still looks stunning though. Seen Spartacus?

When I accidentally came across this picture, I thought this woman was posing for a costume that you can buy for Halloween; now I realize that it’s for a tv show–truly disappointed. I don’t think she has the look, and the costume is way too saturated. Should’ve been darker reds, darker blues, and an actress who doesn’t look like she’s doing a cosplay with it.

This costume looks TOTALLY cheap! I wont watch! The show already sucks (based on the outfit)! What a drag that they couldn’t stay more true to the original costume! If it were Superman or Batman they would have put more thought on it, instead of just trying to camp it up! THIS is why Wonder Woman movies and the original show haven’t and didn’t make it! NO ONE takes Wonder Woman seriously! Too bad! She’s always been my favorite SUPERHEROINE! She’s the underdog in a world full of male-cheuvanistic, MALE Superheroes….She gets no love because men are intimidated by her power and her beauty and her strength! If they make a joke and a mockery of her, she’ll be put (once again) by the curb for trash-collection. Shame on you (whomever created this piece-of-s*** costume)!

My husband pointed out that it wasn’t just the outfit that looked like it was made of plastic.

I am willing to hold out hope that the only reason the costume looks super-shiny is due to the lighting, and that once Wonder Woman is in an actual environment–i.e., some urban area or outside in natural light–it won’t look as garish. Photography lights, last I checked, are bright. Plus the usage of flash bulbs…

All the same, I agree on the heels and strapless bit. Not quite practical, but we’ll see what happens.

Ok, as a modern woman I too am glad about the pants. BUT! This is WONDER WOMAN! Why change what a SUPER HERO/HEROINE is just because we as practical women know it’s not possible. Wonder Woman is an Amazon that was raised and trained as a WARRIOR, and has a suit that was blessed by the gods to give her powers. She CAN do it in heels, and the costume should NOT be changed. I mean, think about it, do you really think that the Amazons wore pants???? It seems to me that this “geek” site is not very geek at all. Otherwise I think that everyone would want the costume to stay true to the original as possible. Super Heros/heroines are not supposed to be practical, that’s what makes the “super”….
But really, that costume looks like a Walmart Halloween costume gone wrong.

I agree with all the comments above and am so glad to hear them. Since I was a little girl running around in my Wonder Woman Underoos I have been waiting for a costume that looked right. Boots yes..but not such obnoxious pointy heels. The bustier top needs straps of some sort. But the pants? they are lame. Too non-stretchy. More Lycra less Latex. I like the idea of a skirt with kickpants, it shows off leg musculature better, but she cold have some leggings for cold weather. All over too shiny. I like the silver armbands..as they should be:)

it’s good to see flo from the progressive commercials get more work.

needs more camel toe to be perfect

I think I need to just collect the Xena series DVDs and be happy with that. Xena is what Wonder Woman should have been if actual woman-loving men and strong women were making the show. And I’ve been a WW fan since I was six.

what would make you think it’s aimed towards the female demographic? look at what she’s wearing. that’s almost fap material.

A real amazon warrior would have cut off one of her breasts so she could shoot arrows… err… swing the lasso of truth better.

Well…those pants don’t look like they fit at all, but I guess we’ve been spared the camel toe. She does look a bit like she could stab herself in the stomach with her belt and belly piece. She does look like she went shopping at the sex shop for role-play night. She does look a bit shiny. She does also look like she’s got a hood ornament on her chest.
It’s sexy, but not at all practical. You can’t even run on dirt in heels! What’s she gonna do? Boob them to death when she trips and falls out of that thing?

Didn’t Ginger Rogers always brag she was a better dancer than Fred Astaire because she would do everything he could? (Except she did it backwards and in heels!)

Yes. Imagine how awesome she could have been if she could have chosen not to wear them?

Lucy Lawless is much to old to play Wonder Woman…

Just sayin’… The heels aren’t the problem. Besides, maybe they’re an intentional power-limiter, like all those characters in anime who wear “500 pound shirts”, just to take them off in the middle of a fight to freak out their opponents.

Who is she?

And what about the giant fake boobs? Meh on accounts.

Sorry, but from the bust down, she looks like one of those plastic blow-up toy souvenirs from the midway, cheap heat-fused seams and all.

Cobie Smulders from How I met Your Mother. But I like this photoshop job better. http://fanartexhibit.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/wonder_woman_new.jpg
Leather is the way to go, not vinyl.

I like that much better than the real costume.

She looks like what she is- a comic-book superheroine. No, it’s not practical. Neither is Superman’s or Batman’s cape. No, it’s not aimed at women. No, it’s not “realistic”. But, neither is the lasso of truth, bullet-deflecting bracers, or many other things about superheroes. That’s what makes them superheroes. They’re NOT real. The pants look like an attempt at appeasing all the complaints about her original outfit not being practical, but they stay as true as they could. Also, she never was supposed to LOOK like a strong amazon warrior. Peter Parker didn’t LOOK like a superhero either.

She looks like a cartoon. Can’t wait to watch the show.

Yeah, but I wish she weren’t. She would have been perfect!

“She looks like a cartoon.”

If I want to see women who look like cartoons, I’ll watch cartoons.

tyy

A leather kilt like a few of the fan photoshops have wouldn’t have either of those problems.

I’m with everyone on the poor choice in material, the makeup, the strapless bustier (although, that is and has always been a Wonder Woman trademark) and all of that. My personal biggest issue with the costume design, is the over all look and balance of the costume.

Because the boots are blue with gold instead of red with white (like they’ve been for YEARS) and the random red stars the entire costume looks unbalanced to me. It looks cut off at the waist-the top half is a completely different red and gold costume than the blue and gold bottom. The boots could have been red with white stripes and a gold eagle detail and the red stars on the bustier could have been white. That would have made it SO much more balanced. Also, I liked the look of Wonder Woman’s tiara in the comics. It was a trade mark.

That being said, there are a few things I like about this new costume, but the bad things outweigh the good SO MUCH that it really doesn’t even look like Wonder Woman to me anymore. Honestly, it looks like a cheap, knock off costume designed for a porn star or stripper.

The fake boobs and heels put me off the most. I am so over the objectification of women. Why can’t she be a *real* woman? Strong and bad-ass!! She just looks like a cheap bimbo here. I have no desire to watch… which sucks because I love Wonder Woman. :(

Nah, those boobs are fake. Real corsets can push up to an extent, but that’s a cheap bustier with no real boning. Real boobs couldn’t define gravity at that size and weight. I make corsets and I know from experience.

How have I JUST found this site? Over at blastr, my local comic book store, and other boys’ club I get to hear about how hot she looks. Here I get to hear debates concerning male gaze, fandom, AND fashion design?!

I’m literally *this* close to shedding tears of joy.

It’s all about sex appeal and money. If it was superman with a new sexy outfit you woman would not have a problem with it. With any business sense at all it may become more clear. I don’t think enough skin is showing. Besides it will always be men as majority viewers for wonderwoman.

Oh….I sense some jelousy. Let it go…..it’s all about sales….money. What would you rather…a power suit and and a bulge in the pants?

Oh [insert inappropriate ellipsis here], I sense some mansplaining!

Thanks for telling me what I think Dave! It’s so hard for my tiny woman brain to figure these things out for myself. Oh look, something pink!

How did you know pink was my favorite colour? Did you even get the point……..by no means was I bashing woman. Business is business….and I was telling you what I think. When did this become about you? Oh…I get it…YOU GO GIRL….

Just having fun. Truth is I realy don’t care. I get a kick out of rocking the boat.

Boo hoo hoo….does baby need a bottle? Grow up……you must be a man hater.

I’ll buy shares. I think a bigger bust would be more appropriate. To show real girl power. Hate the pants. Should be tight boy shorts.

Oh piss off Joe.

Hey! Don’t blame me. I’m not the one in charge of Hollywood. Blame the stars. Besides isn’t camel toe a fashion statement these days?

Yeah, this is not very well thought out and waaaay too shiny. If she is a real world business woman then why is she dressing like a ’90′s street walker? To hide her identity? Those pants, whilst they do cover the legs are not made for running jumping…or should I say sweating (girls don’t sweat they glisten!).

It also doesn’t seem like she “owns” the character (let alone the costume). She’s just a girl on Halloween. Go hire that girl from the Big Bang Theory to do it, oh wait, she works for CBS.

Adrienne is beautiful and rather tall (5’11″, but she’s still shorter than WW should be), but I’m not a fan of this costume for multiple reasons.

1–What the heck was wrong with the original costume??? Not the “modern” outfit, but the classic eagle/star-spangled outfit. It looked amazing and remains as timeless a design as any in comics.

2–BLUE boots? Seriously? With blue pants? Yuck. Heels are nightmares to run in, but WW can do it. If you want a more practical look, drop the heels, but for heaven’s sake keep the footwear red.

3–Those bracelets looks as amazonian as something off the shelf at a seasonal Halloween store. Make them BIG and THICK, like they can actually deflect bullets and heat vision. You know, like how they’re drawn?

4–I’m not a fan of the pants. The crotch is going to be all sorts of camel-toe nightmare (especially with that seam!), whatever shiny fabric that’s made of isn’t going to breath very well, and there are no stars! Again, what’s wrong with the original source material? Show off WW’s thighs! She wasn’t ashamed of her body in the least, so the show’s developers shouldn’t be either.

5–The lasso. (See #3 above.) I can only hope we’ll get some post-production effect that makes it actually glows like it’s supposed to do. But I’m not getting my hopes up.

Overall, not a fan of the costume at all. Adrienne is a good choice, but I think her outfit is going to be a negative.

Okay, addendum to my previous post.

Just noticed the stars on the sides of the pants upon a more detailed inspection. Plus for including them, but an offsetting minus for them being gold, not white. Not impressed.

And I want to agree with the other posters who have brought up the fact that Adrienne’s musculature doesn’t really match WW’s build. Honestly, I’ve been terrified that they were going to cast Megan Fox or Jessica Biel or someone who’s 5’4″ to 5’7″ just because they’re pretty, brunette, and popular. Actually getting a taller actress was nice. However, I’d really like to have seen a much more muscular WW as well.

Wonder Woman is strong. She LOOKS strong. Batman has to look up to her; it’s well documented in the comics. Her biceps and triceps are bigger than any of the Justice League except for Superman and J’onn J’onzz. Her thighs are obviously muscular, and the cut of her briefs emphasizes their definition and size even more noticeably. Why can’t we have this?

Just an FYI, as a DDD cup who does just fine at archery, I’ve never understood that particular myth about the Amazons.
