First, I just… I truly think the Walk of Fame has gotten absurd. Am I crazy, or did they at one point do a better job at least PRETENDING it isn’t all bought and paid for to promote movies? I’m sure it’s very exciting for the actor to know that a studio or fan club or manager — or all of them combined — wanted to spring for a sidewalk star, but while I will acknowledge I am not an expert on Gal Gadot’s filmography, I feel like the only movie she’s made that people even mostly like is Wonder Woman. Maybe I’m not giving enough credit to her contributions to the Vin Diesel Cinematic Universe. I guess if the Walk of Fame is literally just letting people walk over famous names, fine. But if they want us to think of it as a meaningful signifier of the work, then it’s wild to me that Gal Gadot is getting one before Jane Fonda. Or PRINCE. Maybe don’t do as many of these, y’all?!?! Because it’s not just Gal, either; she’s just the most surprising one of the recent classes, which really hit me today because I just read that she is epically terrible in Snow White, and it made me think about the fact that she might also be pretty bad in everything else. Except perhaps Wonder Woman the First. Although now I’m curious about Snow White, so I guess that’s not nothing.
Anyway, the Walk of Fame Ceremony is one of those events where you want to dress carefully, because it involves getting down onto the ground and posing for a picture without flashing everyone. For three reasons, that makes this Jil Sander ensemble strange. One, it looks like a yeti sneezed on it. Two, it’s short, and three, she’s got all those strings hanging from it, which HAVE to be super annoying when clambering up and down?
The photo is not X-rated, but the garment really doesn’t look great in it. Who greenlit this? The whole thing needs more time in development.
