This actress is most known for her portrayal of a superhero who can teleport and fly, but her real superpower is her courage to stand up for herself and others. Véronique Hyland’s words and Greg Williams’ images, styled by Elizabeth Stewart, reveal the extraordinary essence of this remarkable individual. The piece first appeared on October 18, 2021, at 8:00 AM EDT.
Greg Williams photographed Gal Gadot looking stunning in a Cardigan and bodysuit from Saint Laurent, paired with Falke tights and Jimmy Choo pumps. Despite her tough image in action movies, Gadot actually dislikes conflict in her personal life. She gave up on her law school aspirations to pursue acting because she found the idea of courtroom battles unappealing. Looking back on her path to fame, Gadot remembers the early uncertainties and auditions that led to her breakthrough as Wonder Woman. She wasn’t familiar with the comic book character growing up, but she understood the significance of bringing a female superhero to the forefront. When negotiating for fair pay in the sequel, Gadot stood firm in her beliefs. Despite her heroic roles on screen, she navigates life with a relaxed attitude, appreciative of the opportunities that have come her way.
Another example of her principles and belief: dealing with mistreatment from Joss Whedon while working on Justice League. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Whedon reportedly mistreated Gadot verbally after she expressed concerns regarding her character and dialogue. Whedon declined to respond to the accusations. Though the exact comments by Whedon were not revealed, Gadot shared on Israeli television that he threatened her career and hinted at making things difficult for her if she didn’t comply with his requests. When asked about her initial response to these incidents, Gadot confessed, “I took immediate action to address the issue. I applaud Warner Brothers for handling the situation. When someone speaks to you in such a disrespectful manner, it’s alarming. If he treated me this way, he likely treated others the same. I felt a responsibility to speak up and emphasize that such conduct is not acceptable.”
Greg Williams is rocking a chic Ralph Lauren coat that costs $2,490, paired with a Wolford bodysuit priced at $195 and Falke tights at $35. To add a touch of class, he completes the look with Tiffany & Co. earrings worth $1,200.

Reflecting on a past incident, a strong sense of justice prompted her to question whether she would have been treated differently if she were a man. Her friend Kristen Wiig admires her fearless advocacy for herself, proving wrong those who underestimate her based on her appearance.
Stepping away from her usual roles as a heroine, she takes on the role of an art thief with a complex agenda in Red Notice, honing her acting skills alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Her ability to shine in any type of scene, be it comedic or dramatic, is lauded by co-stars like Ryan Reynolds.
Moving away from mainstream Hollywood films, Gadot is passionate about producing projects that celebrate strong female characters. Through her production company Pilot Wave, she is developing a Cleopatra film and a series about Hedy Lamarr, showcasing the star’s inventive side along with her glamorous image. Exuding beauty, brains, and strength, Gadot continues to redefine the concept of a modern-day heroine.
