This is why 'Wonder Woman' star Gal Gadot refuses to wear heels on press tour

Culture 12:26 10.06.2017
When it comes to red carpet style, there’s no end to the sartorial possibilities that A-list ladies and their fashion team come up with.
Be it a glittering gown, jazzy jumpsuit or tailored two-piece, they always find a way to keep their style looking fresh.
 
But one fashion item you can guarantee they’ll be wearing is high heels. 
 
It’s like rule number one of red carpet dressing – and one heroine is trying to change all that.
 
Gal Gadot is not only playing Wonder Woman on the silver screen this summer, she’s also sticking to the role in real life as she rebels against wearing high heels on her press trip for the new movie. 
 
The 32-year-old has made it her mission to wear only flats during her promotion of the new DC Comics movie, wearing pointed toe pumps, trainers and embellished sandals instead.
 
Gal isn’t completely anti-flats having worn them on the MTV Movie & TV Awards, but she did explain her reasons for wearing flats on USA Today saying: ‘I love wearing high heels, it’s beautiful, it’s sexy, whatever.’
 
‘But at the same time, especially stilettos, it puts us out of balance. We can fall any minute. It’s not good for our backs.’
 
‘Why do we do it? I can wear high heels (despite having a sprained back). But I was like, “Let’s wear flats!” I’ve been waiting for this moment.’ (Evoke.ie)
