Wonder Woman Accessories
Of course, having a Wonder Woman costume is not all that creates a great outfit! Here are the extras that bring Wonder Woman to life.
With Wonder Woman, hair is key to creating an effective costume. Cathie Lee Crosby’s blonde portrayal of Wonder Woman in a made-for-TV movie has all but been forgotten: and it might have been the hair that made her so forgettable!
To create proper Wonder Woman hair, you can either buy a wig, or dye your hair (temporarily) darker to achieve the Wonder Woman look. Her hair can be done a few ways. It can be let down (roughly shoulder length ideally) and slightly wavy or curly, or it can be done straight with a flip (think roughly like Jackie O.). Remember: bigger is better when trying to create authentic Wonder Woman hair!
In Wonder Woman’s hair, she wears a golden tiara. This tiara is mostly obscured except for the front diamond-shape, or triangle shape. On this there is a red jewel.
In the second season of Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman show, she sometimes wore a cape. This cape was half red, and half blue and white stripes. There were small shiny stars at the top of it. Some comic book artists also began drawing Wonder Woman with a cape. The comic book cape emphasizes the fact that Wonder Woman is a goddess because it is regal red with gold trim.
Wonder Woman carries a golden lasso. This lasso makes anyone who is caught in it tell the truth. It is Wonder Woman’s main weapon.
Wonder Woman wears two silver arm bands, which are sometimes drawn gold. They are the size of largish bracelets and fitted close the wrist. (Hers are indestructible, and come in handy in deflecting bullets).
For information on Wonder Woman’s boots or sandals, see the Wonder Woman costume main page: the footwear accessory was so important it couldn’t be missed! With your costume, lasso, armbands, and tiara, you’ll be ready to save the Universe in no time!
