Beauty blogger Deepica Mutyala reinvents the character Wonder Woman as an Indian princess. While the character is instantly recognizable as the Amazon Princess, almost every aspect of her costume has been given a South Asian twist. Gone are the traditional tiara, replaced by an ornate maang tikka with beautiful rubies. Gone are the bracers, exchanged for an abundance of different bracelets. An embroidered transparent sari replaces Diana's cape and intricate henna designs adorn the back of the hands.
In my head, it bothered me that she assumed I'd be Jasmine because of what I looked like on the outside, ”Mutyala said. "It took me back to my childhood," she added. “I always wanted to be Posh Spice but I was always told to be Scary… I was always Lisa Turtle, not Kelly Kapowski. Later on, I tried to dye my hair blond and get colored contacts because I always had to fit in. I want to tell girls that you should stand out.
In the following making-of video, she shows us how Deepica becomes the Indian warrior princess:
