Gal Gadot — the star of the summer blockbuster “Wonder Woman” — is being hailed as an off-screen heroine for her fearless fashion.
You likely know Gal Gadot as the star of the highly anticipated summer blockbuster, “Wonder Woman,” which pulled in $100.5 million on its opening weekend — as well as her roles in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and the “Fast and the Furious” franchise.
Beyond wowing audiences with her portrayal of the iconic superhero on the big screen, she’s also gaining attention for her epic red carpet looks. The 32-year-old actress, model and mom (who gave birth to her second daughter, Maya, on March 19) has been flaunting her seemingly superhuman style across the globe.
And she’s being hailed a heroine for her fearless fashion (and comfortable!) choices. Here are the style lessons you can learn from this real-life hero:

Part of Gadot’s appeal is her down-to-earth aesthetic. Throughout her world tour, she’s made headlines for wearing flats — from the film’s Los Angeles premiere to the Cannes red carpet — proving that heroes don’t need heels to look out of this world.
“I love wearing high heels — it’s beautiful, it’s sexy, whatever. But at the same time, especially stilettos, it puts us out of balance. We can fall any minute. It’s not good for our backs. Why do we do it? I can wear high heels (despite having a sprained back). But I was like, ‘Let’s wear flats!’ I’ve been waiting for this moment,” Gadot told USA Today.When she was asked why she wore flats to the Cannes Film Festival, Gadot had a perfectly simple answer: “It’s more comfortable.” 2. You don’t have to spend a fortune to get A-list style.
