I think it's more likely that the filmmakers were trying to drive home just how long she's been around and a standard print didn't look old enough. Interestingly, a glass plate negative would have been correct, but much harder to see onscreen.

Wow, just wow.
So these people apparently never read a single Wonder Woman comic, have no idea what she's about and are protesting solely on how she looks? And the UN just goes along with that and caves in?
Way to send a message to young girls it doesn't matter what you do, you'll always be judged by how you look...
This is just appalling on so many levels.
Why? Both Black Panther and Spider-Man have appeared in "Captain America 3" before their respective solo films.
I just remembered. Tinker Bell was named honorary ambassador back in 2009. No one had raised a fuss over this scene - http://cdn4.teen.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/tinkerbell-mirror-main.jpg - from the 1953 animated film. Or did they?
There's an article on WW and the upcoming movie in Time magazine:

Nicola Scott also wrote a nice piece on why WW was a great choice:

What trips me out about people debating what WW should wear, is when DC does alter WW's costume, the most outspoken critics are women.
I wish the U.N. didn't cave to fringe demands. People like them never know what they want. I'm particularly disturbed that the memo felt the need to bring up WW's ethnicity as a criticism against her being an honorary ambassador.
The short lived Odyssey costume. (Fall 2010-Fall 2011)
The short lived DC You costume (Fall 2015-Spring 2016)
The original costume for the New 52 WW in 2011 was supposed to resemble the Odyssey costume, sans the jacket.
But DC listened to feedback from the fans and went to the author and they changed it this.
And of course, the "New Wonder Woman" from the 70s during the "Women's Lib" movement. Characters like Mystique, Ms Marvel and Mockingbird all made their debuts during this time as well. Black Canary ended up replacing Diana on the JL, since Diana quit right before the "New WW" rebrand.
It's funny, because at the time, DC and Denny O'Neil thought they were giving the audience what they wanted. This WW was a strong, independent woman. With her own business (beauty shop) and a costume that spoke to the times and not a glorified bathing suit with a skirt. And yet, people, mostly women dislike this version. Wonder Woman losing her iconic costume, her powers and her membership with the Justice League just didn't sit well with them.

Certain critics' concern is not so much about the costume, but Gadot's model looks. For this faction of the whiners, they would only be happy if someone in the zone of Amy Schumer won the WW role.

It's possible she's killed people.

Hourman is totally checking out her rear.
Wait...
Is Diana skipping?

Look at the lariat.
I didn't mean tra-lalalalalala skipping, I meant it looks like that she is jumping rope.
That's King Farady, DC's answer to Nick Fury.

Well...that's different.
Indestructible rope moving at super speed, both shielding her from offensive weapons, like bullets, and hacking off appendages that come too close.
Di could probably dig, make tunnels with her golden lariat too, faster than a Horta.

Schumer would be fine as Darwyn Cooke's Wonder Woman
Cooke's WW was supposed to be muscular, thick-bodied woman, but undeniably a powerful image (as seen in The New Frontier). Schumer is just....a mess.
Well, that's nice.
I think she's cute.
