Despite the rain, this pregnant woman was determined to enjoy herself. Gal Gadot was seen braving the Los Angeles rain with a friend, dressed in comfortable clothes that hid her baby bump. The 31-year-old actress, known for her role in Wonder Woman, was on her way to Fred Segal’s in West Hollywood.
Fully prepared for the rainy weather, Gal Gadot was seen bundled up as she stepped out in Los Angeles with a friend. The Israeli actress and model appeared radiant with her hair tied back, sporting a smile behind stylish black sunglasses as she strolled through the parking lot towards a popular fashion hub. Clad in a snug black duster and cozy scarf, she seemed unfazed by the wet and gloomy conditions. Completing her outfit were dark denim pants and edgy black combat boots adorned with a maroon strap secured by a striking gold buckle.
On a rainy shopping day, the 31-year-old Wonder Woman actress was spotted making her way to the Fred Segal retail store. Accompanied by a female friend dressed in black, Gadot affectionately planted a quick kiss on her friend’s cheek, who sought shelter from the rain under her olive green jacket’s hood. Later this year, the Fast & Furious star will go down in history for her role as Wonder Woman in the character’s first standalone feature film. Despite failed attempts in the past, this will be the first time the beloved superhero, with a 75-year history, will take center stage in her own movie.
Gadot playfully planted a quick peck on her friend’s cheek, who was seeking shelter from the rain under her olive green jacket’s hood. While some may not agree, a recent Time article mentioned that not everyone believes the iconic Wonder Woman deserves all the praise she gets. The backlash was so intense when the United Nations appointed her as an honorary ambassador in October 2016 that they had to revoke her title in December of the same year. A petition, signed by 600 UN staffers, expressed disapproval of a scantily clad cartoon representing a feminist, military veteran, and even a former President of the United States being considered as the symbol of female empowerment.
Gal Gadot, an actress who was crowned Miss Israel in 2004 and served in the Israeli Defense Forces, is the perfect embodiment of the contradictions that Wonder Woman represents in society. Despite some questioning her ability to be both smart, strong, and sexy at the same time, Gadot believes that she can embody all of those qualities. Director Patty Jenkins, who is one of the first female directors to helm a project with a budget over $100 million, will bring Gadot’s vision of Wonder Woman to life on the big screen starting June 2.
Up next: Gadot will grace the big screen as the iconic Wonder Woman on June 2 in her very own standalone movie, directed by Patty Jenkins. Fans can finally witness this long-awaited project come to fruition.
