The featured article titled “Taking Wing” showcases Gal Gadot’s hunger for more significant and deeper roles beyond her career as an actress. The editorial spread features the actress adorned in a Valentino Haute Couture dress and Tiffany Co. earring, styled by Tonne Goodman and photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vogue’s May 2020 issue. The article was written and reported before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the United States, but it went to press during a time of profound changes to daily life across the country. Like most individuals, Gal Gadot’s life was also affected by the pandemic, with the closure of her children’s school and the postponement of her upcoming movie, Wonder Woman 1984, from June to August. Despite these challenges, Gal Gadot remains optimistic and hopeful for a brighter future when everything returns to normalcy.
The cover look of Gal Gadot features her in a Louis Vuitton dress and Tiffany Co. earring, achieved with Revlon products including PhotoReady Candid Glow Moisture Glow Foundation in Creme Brulee, PhotoReady Candid Antioxidant Concealer in Bisque, PhotoReady Instant Cheek Maker in Sugarplum, So Fierce! Mascara in Black, Colorstay Browlights in Soft Black, and Super Lustrous The Luscious Mattes Lipstick in If I Want To. Her hair was styled by Renato Campora and her makeup was done by Sabrina Bedrani for a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz for Vogue’s May 2020 issue.
Spending time with Gal Gadot is a laid-back experience as she exudes nonchalance, allowing anxieties to dissipate and tensions to drain. Despite the demands of her busy life, which includes raising two children and pursuing a successful career in show business, Gadot remains calm and relaxed as if she were leisurely strolling on a Sunday afternoon. Because of her upbringing near Tel Aviv and her fluency in Hebrew and English, conversing with her feels like exploring a new world and discovering new things. During a drive from her gym to a photo shoot, Gadot shares that she always feels like a foreigner in Los Angeles, but the experience is made more surreal by the quiet glide of her Tesla and the large screen in the middle of the dash that creates a sense of levitation.
