WONDER WOMAN

Now there's a really cool role model for female strength, ingenuity, and power.

Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to be a warrior. Armor, weapons, combat skills, and a signature outfit. I loved Wonder Woman's outfit when I was a kid, but I also wondered what kind of body would you need to have to fit a skimpy body-hugging armor like that and still look good without it pinching.

Now, I love the Amazonian armor and clothing. Hippolyta's haltered crocodile armor, Antiope's multilayered leather armor, Venelia's (Doutzen Kroe) queen's guard armor, the Senator's robes, etc.

Costume Designer since 1985 and creator of the armor worn by the Amazons of Themyscira in Wonder Woman.

Note the breastplates on the left side of these two women. It is Hemming's homage to the lore of these warriors cutting off their left-breast to better draw a bow. (Weaver, 2017)

This is Queen Hippolyta's Queen's Guard. The overlapping leather design is prominent in this design but is distinct from Antiope's (their general) armor design.

Here we can see Diana's (Wonder Woman) armor, styled to look like overlapped leather and cut at the thighs for wider range of movement (Weaver, 2017)

Here are other variations of Ms. Hemmings design of Themysciran armor. Their armor showcases their ranks. (Left to right: General of Legions, Queen, Trainee, and Queen's Guard)

DOCTOR STRANGE & THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

Now this story imparts some heavy stuff, and you can see through the the actors and their costume.

Steven Strange tended to see the world as black and white but his time as a sorcerer changes that. And so, the ancient relic, the cloak of levitation, is damaged in a scuffle with one of the beasts sent to capture America Chavez, a teenager from an alternate dimension of Earth. This tears a whole in the cloak and it is the woman he loves, in every universe, who patches it up with (a different colored) cloth that interrupts the steady field of red that is the cloak of levitation.

The same detail also happens for Wanda's Scarlet Witch attire.

Graham Churchyard

A collaboration with Linda Hemmings led to securing his place in the world of costume design. He's worked with Linda and Christopher Nolan on The Dark Knight trilogy, Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor: Dark World, and more superhero movies.

As shown here, the Costume Design team also made several versions of Doctor Strange's counterparts in the other parallel dimensions.

The one on the bottom left is Prime Strange. His attire is one we are used to seeing with slight changes in the belt. In the photos above, we can note some differences between the three others.

Prime Strange has the usual shape of the collar points and the stiffness of the fabric. Supreme Strange, on the other hand, has a rather exaggerated collar compared to the original's. Sinister Strange's look appears to be a simple tunic with an absent cloak. The absence of the cloak probably supports the idea that he has lost his way as a sorcerer and therefore

Graham's vision for Wanda's costume showcases her brokenness and susceptibility to the corruption of the Darkhold's magic. Quite similar to how an addict must absolutely have their chosen poison and will stop at nothing to get it.
