Wonder Woman’s ‘sword in dress’ scene inspires women to try out their own versions, and the results are epic
In one of the most memorable scenes in the film, the character of Diana, portrayed by Gadot could be seen smuggling her sword into a German army ball in the back of her dress. It is this that has caught the attention of women on social media as each is trying to imitate it in their way, and might we add are going rather overboard.
This is going just a bit too far. (Source: Alora Slak/Twitter)
Wonder Woman released in India on June 2 and took the country by storm. Departing from other superhero films that merely reaffirm gender stereotypes, Wonder Woman succeeded in reversing them. Gal Gadot was unanimously applauded and celebrated for her portrayal of the woman who did not flinch from saving a man from a drowning aeroplane or the world for that matter. The film inspired and motivated women across the world and thus it is no surprise that women are going out of their way to emulate Gadot.

The pictures are trending with the hashtag #WWgotyourback.

Some had even applauded her saying she is a wonder woman in real life too. But this is just going a bit far, we think.
