Wonder Woman character redesign from DC Comics
At 69 years old, Wonder Woman undergoes another wardrobe and body makeover for issue no. 600 of the comic book.

But he welcomed the challenge: “When these characters become so branded that you can’t change things, they become ossified.” The new look — with an understated “W” insignia, a midnight blue jacket and a flinty fusion of black tights and boots — is darker than the famed swimsuit-style outfit, and aims to be contemporary, functional and, as Tim Gunn of “Project Runway” might say, less costumey…” —via The New York Times
