An online debate erupted this week after resurfaced paparazzi photos of Gal Gadot vacationing in Costa Rica went viral, drawing 1.9 million views and inviting harsh commentary about her appearance.
The images, taken in early January during a New Year’s trip, show the 40-year-old actress stepping out in jean shorts and a black sports bra while grabbing snacks from a local shop before later meeting friends for brunch in a long, flowy white dress.
The post was framed by critics as evidence that the Wonder Woman star had “let herself go,” with some describing her as looking “average” compared to her polished, muscular on-screen persona.
