Oh my!
The outfit looks quite good - and she's certainly well-cast for the part. I'm getting use to the red boots, I guess...they work for Superman, after all.
The pants appear to be jumbo spandex, dull side out. The top's likely PVC.

Wonder Woman has always had red boots in the comics.
Totally agreed, especially re: the Julie Newmar costume. Newmar-as-Catwoman is still one of the sexiest comic-book characters ever portrayed on screen, and was pretty much everything the character should have been (allowing for the "camp" factor, of course).
And I can't stand the current "aviator glasses" look, either. What the bloomin' 'eck aviator goggles have got to do with cats has always been quite beyond me.
I thought the same thing!
"Getting used to the red boots"?!? Apart from the "I Ching" era that Christopher mentioned, Wonder Woman's had red footwear since her creation (even the sandals she used to have were red).
Edited to Add: Oops, I see Praetor Shinzon beat me to it.
I think Dennis was referring to the style of Carter's boots, not the fact that they were red. They're close to the ones Wonder Woman wears in the comics, but they are a bit goofy-looking.
This is my favorite pic so far. While Christopher Reeve had plenty of physical similarities to Superman, the main thing he had going for him was complete confidence while wearing the suit. He never once looked self-conscious while wearing it.
Palicki's giving off a similar vibe in this picture. I imagine it's no mean feat to walk around in a red bustier and a tiara in broad daylight, surrounded by dozens of people on set.

According to that little piece of the script, she has to lift that guy up and carry him over her shoulder. Though Adrienne is quite a good choice for WW they are probably going to have to find a way to help her as she doesn't look strong enough. I'm not even sure if Carter could lift guys the way they made it seem

Yeah, that is a great image.
Yeah, that is a great image.
I agree I think she looks gorgeous in that picture. It feels like a big budget WW movie is being made.
This must hurt after a while.
Also WW filming update (Thurs. night):

BTW what's the procedure if Palicki becomes pregnant? Would a Wonder Girl have to be cast?

Lynda Carter broke the mold when it comes to Wonder Woman.
Lynda Carter was just the best lady to play Wonder Woman that came along. Anybody else could have played her, and anybody else can do so now today.
That said, I hope that this new show is different from what's been mentioned by the OP.
People keep saying that. We've been too conditioned by bodybuilders and comic-book artists to think that strength requires bulk. Palicki is 5'11", a very tall woman, which makes her seem thinner than she actually is. And to all indications she's very athletic. Her shoulders and arms certainly seem to have good muscle definition to me, keeping in mind that women have more body fat over their muscles than men do so that their muscle definition is less clearly visible.
This is completely working from where I'm sitting.

It has been a while since I said that...I don't know why you are commenting on it now.
I was a little jaded when I started this thread...which was a while ago (February 2 2011, 10:29 AM)...but I was having some fun when I said what you quoted.
I am hopeful that AP will be great and from the current crop of images...she looks great.

Except when she had sandals way back when, but that has nothing to do with what I posted. The initial version of this outfit had boots matching the tights, which I preferred. The red boots look a little too hookerish for my taste, and I don't actually give a damn how many times they've appeared in comic books.
Why is this even a concern? Hollywood has always "helped" actors do things they are not physically capable of.
I want to see her deflecting bullets without the aid of special effects.
