I still think the skirt, if you can even call it that, looks awesome, especially how it sorta evokes the shape of the classic costume. And despite its short length, it doesn't feel trashy to me at all, probably because of what she's wearing underneath it.
Now that the costume has been revealed, I'm actually more nit-picky about dark hair/blue eyes for Wondy. Gal is a fantastic gorgeous woman who has chameleon-like features. Let her be "dolled" up for the role. Darkling blue/black hair is a hallmark of Wonder Woman. I loved the pictures on set that came out with the blue dress and dark hair, just perfect as Diana.
Gal in WW has a very dark brown giving the effect of black in some shot, especially in concept art and in the statue.
Blue eyes was created because it was popular back in the day, not because it was an amazon thing, so I think having her look as it is, works better IMO.
But if she has a secret ID. then we can see her more dolled-up as in the spy pics. and let the gorgeous warrior be
It would be better for Gal anyways, so that she can have more of a career with many roles, if she is not exactly like herself in the part of Wonder Woman. When the movie hits the screen, what is it going to be like for Gal? Her normal life will be gone to celebrity worldwide much more so than she is now. She can have dark/black hair for Wonder Woman, and back sunny golden brown for herself.
She's a chamaleon as you've said, she can have many other colors and characterizations. That's not a problem.
I agree. Gal is basically wearing an uneven loincloth that gives the impression of a skirt yet pretty much shows as much flesh as the classic panties. I dig the skirt in this pic.
That skirt while longer is wavy and doesn't have the "restrictive" and it could show much than Gal's WW is really, the other while shorter is more compact, and it doesn't show anything it shouldn't. That's why this costume is perfect, but as many have said, merchandise and in upcoming movies, the costume will have improvements or changes even if only few.
I agree, Wolf.
If a designer doesn't push the redesign of a classic outfit far enough, it can end up in that grey area where it's not classic enough to placate the purist crowd, nor is it different enough to please the redesign supporters. I wouldn't say this costume is quite in that category (most people, including myself, seem to think it's acceptable/decent at the very least), but it has a whiff of it (as does the Aquaman costume). Just a few slight alterations would have satisfied the redesign crowd, it seems.
I respectfully disagree, those minor details aren't that important, that's the point, the suit is almost perfection, and as you've said this costume evokes the ones that didn't want the wrong parts shown nor the purist who wanted a the classic outfit.
While it can be improved (it will in upcoming films, because something called merchandise will require even little changes to sell them) this outfit triumph having a happy medium, at least IMO.
I supposed that Wilkson used some design components of ancient Greek/Roman greaves and used it for WW. So yes, not a true boot.
