Gal Gadot, famous for her warrior roles in Wonder Woman, traded her armor for a glamorous pink dress at ELLE’s 2021 Women in Hollywood Celebration. The event, held at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, honored nine women, including Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, and Rita Moreno.
Gal Gadot flaunted her statuesque figure in a vibrant pink halter dress at the ELLE 2021 Women in Hollywood Celebration in Los Angeles. The sleek dress showcased her toned legs with its high slit, while the sleeveless design featured a ruched halter collar. To add a pop of contrast, she adorned her neck with a shiny black plastic flower. Completing her look were black open-toe heels, adding height to her 5ft10in frame. Her shoulder-length brunette hair was styled elegantly, tucked behind one ear. Adding a touch of glamour, she accessorized with a dazzling Knot Double Row Hinged Bangle from Tiffany & Co., crafted in 18K gold.

Accompanying the Justice League actress on the red carpet was her spouse Yaron ‘Jaron’ Varsano, who looked sharp in a black suit paired with a matching shirt but no tie. Gal and the real estate developer, who later delved into producing alongside her, have been married since 2008 and are the proud parents of three daughters: Alma, aged nine; Maya, aged four; and baby Daniella, who was welcomed into the world by the actress in June.
ELLE, in announcing the action star as one of its honorees for the event, highlighted reports of her standing up against ‘on-set mistreatment’ from Joss Whedon, who replaced the director of Justice League. The magazine referenced a Hollywood Reporter article that detailed Gal’s bold confrontation with Whedon after he allegedly behaved abusively towards her when she voiced concerns about the dialogue of Wonder Woman in the film.
Gal defended herself against Whedon’s aggressive dialogue that she felt did not align with the character as portrayed in the first Wonder Woman movie. He reportedly threatened to make her look foolish in the movie, according to a source. Despite feeling frightened post-confrontation, Gadot stood her ground, and she and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins even had a meeting with then–Warner Bros. chairman Kevin Tsujihara to resolve the matter.

The actress took matters into her own hands and advocated for herself when she felt that some of Whedon’s dialogue was too aggressive and didn’t align with the character as established in the first Wonder Woman movie. Gadot was spotted on the set of Justice League, standing up for her character.
“Once it happened, I wasted no time in shaking things up. The big shots at Warner Brothers handled it well,” Gal shared. Moving on to the feeling of righteousness within me…you’re left stunned by what was said,” she continued. “If he said it to me, then surely he’s said it to others. I just did what I believed was right. It was important to let people know that such behavior is unacceptable.
Gal’s next project is the action comedy Red Notice, where she will co-star alongside Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, set to be released by Netflix in November. She is also preparing to portray Cleopatra in an upcoming film that will once again team her up with Jenkins. Fans can also look forward to seeing the duo collaborating for a third Wonder Woman installment.
