WARNING: Contains Potential Spoilers for Wonder Woman #9!
Wonder Womansaddles up with a new Western-inspired look that transforms the Amazon warrior into a boot-wearing and horse-riding cowgirl. This stunning transformation offers ample cosplay inspiration for enthusiasts seeking to spice up their Wonder Woman attire or adopt a more casual Diana Prince persona. Cosplayers are left with just one decision: horse or no horse?
Tom King and Daniel Samper’sWonder Woman#9 picks up theSacrificestory arc as Diana faces a new tactic fromThe Sovereign in his relentless pursuitto break her will. In issue #8, he attempted to manipulate her with the Lasso of Lies.
This time, however, The Sovereign takes a more insidious approach: solitary confinement, a particularly effective torture for Diana who thrives on social connection. To combat this mental and physical torture,Wonder Woman retreats to fantastical escapes within her own mind, including a Western-themed adventure.
Diana Prince’s New Saddle-Ready Cowgirl Costume Is Every Western-Loving Cosplayer’s Dream Come True
Issue #8 is comprised of various dreamscapes Wonder Woman mentally escapes to while enduring The Sovereign’s torture. Each dreamscape features a different location. However, one constant unites these escapes:Colonel Steve Trevor, Diana’s primary and current love interest.One such fantasy sees Wonder Woman and Steve living out a scene straight out of an old Western, with them outfitted in classic cowboy gear and riding horses across a vast plain of golden grass. Diana’s outfit is particularly notable, as it could easily be translated into a casually cool cosplay.
In true cowgirl fashion,Wonder Woman dons a cowboy hat, boots, and well-worn jeans.But the most notable part of her ensemble is the button-up shirt and bandanna – this is what truly bridges the gap between Amazon princess and Wild West heroine. Diana’s shirt features her signature red and gold, while the blue bandanna completes the fullWonder Woman color scheme. This type of cosplay is perfect for fans, considering that many of the pieces might already be in their closets while also leaving plenty of room for interpretation.
Ideas For How Coplayers Can Further Elevate Their Cowgirl Wonder Woman Costume
Diana’s cowgirl outfit might be too subtle for some fans, who crave a look more readily recognizable as Wonder Woman. The good news is that Sampere’s design offers a great foundation to build upon. Some ways that fans could make the look more Wonder Woman-esque include incorporating her double “W” symbol. This can involve, fashioning a bolo tie out of the iconic symbol or even making a belt buckle out of the double “W.” Additionally, fans can go bolder with the color scheme, weaving Diana’s signature colors into every aspect of the outfit for a more unmistakableWonder Womancosplay.
