Wonder Woman Costumes Through the Years

Ellie Wood Walker & Linda Harrison 1967

The first on screen appearance of Wonder Woman was actually a four-minute test segment that failed miserably. 1967's Who's Afraid of Diana Prince was created to create interest in a Wonder Woman TV show. The clip features Ellie Wood Walker as Diana Prince. Once she turns into Wonder Woman, she admires herself in the mirror, with her reflection played by Linda Harrison. This version of Wonder Woman features her original 'Golden Age' suits from the 1940's. The segment didn't generate enough interest and the TV show was scrapped.

Cathy Lee Crosby played Wonder Woman in a made for TV movie, also meant to gauge interest in a TV show. In this version, Diana ditches the traditional Star Spangled shorts and bustier for a more athletic look. Although the movie did not do too well, it paved the way for the famous TV show starring Lynda Carter.

George Miller's Justice League: Mortal would have been the first to feature Wonder Woman on the big screen. The movie was well under way and even had a full cast when a myriad of complications, including the 2007/2008 writer's strike, lead to the cancellation of the movie. Though we never got to see Megan Gale in action as Wonder Woman, photographer Mark Rogers did give us a taste of what it would have looked like when he released promotional photos of Gale in full costume in 2015. Comparable to Gal Gadot's costume, this look was grittier and darker than the Wonder Woman costumes of the past.

In this version, Diana kept her signature red corset but this time she wore pants! This was a big change from her usual swimsuit-like costume. It caused a lot of buzz among fans. With all the buzz, it was a shock when the pilot never aired and the show was cancelled before it began. However, fans still did get to see this costume in action when actress Erica Durance donned the outfit to play the part of a woman who thought she Wonder Woman on the TV show Harry's Law.

The first movie also gave us a look at what she wore before making the transformation from Diana to Wonder Woman. Her gladiator style armor was perfect for the princess of Themyscira.
