Lynda Carter, better known as the Wonder Woman of the 70s, recently took to social media to share a throwback photo of herself modeling a black bodysuit. The actress, who was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world during her youth, shared the photo on her Instagram account as a part of her “Happy swimsuit season” post.

In the photo, which was taken during a beach shoot in the 1980s, Carter can be seen wearing a vintage, lace-necked bodysuit-style bathing suit, complete with pointed cups and a halter neck. The unique style of the suit helped to highlight the tiny waist that was characteristic of Carter during her youth.

In terms of her makeup and hair, Carter embodied the 80s fashion with dark shadows, brown lipstick, black eyeliner, and beautifully styled locks. The post quickly went viral, with fans complimenting Carter on her timeless beauty.

Carter’s legacy extends beyond her role as Wonder Woman. She is one of the most iconic actresses on American television from the 1970s and 1980s, and her influence on Hollywood is undeniable. Before her role as Wonder Woman, Carter had already made a name for herself when she was crowned Miss USA in 1972.

Her impact on superhero movies led to her cameo in the latest Wonder Woman film in 2020, directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot. She played the role of Asteria, a heroine who keeps a low profile but continues to help those in need. Her role in the film was a nod to her iconic portrayal of Wonder Woman in the 70s, and she even delivers the line, “I’ve been doing this all this time” in the post-credits scene.

Though her role as Asteria was intended to be fleshed out in Wonder Woman 3, Warner Bros. officials have recently canceled the film amid their efforts to reboot the DC Comics Cinematic Universe. Despite this setback, there is no denying the impact that Lynda Carter has had on Hollywood, and her beauty and talent will continue to be celebrated for years to come.
