Last night's Met Gala wasn't a particularly Jewish affair (it was themed Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination) however actress Lynda Carter decided to inject some Judiasm into the award ceremony.
The original Wonder Woman - who while she is not Jewish, is married to one, Robert Altman, and has two Jewish children - swapped her character's gold crown for one bearing the legend "Never forget" in Hebrew: βleolam al tishcechiβ. She finished the look by tying her hair back with a clip in the shape of a Star of David.
Continuing her theme, Carter carried a bag designed by the iconic Holocaust survivor Judith Lieber.
Jewish actress Sarah Jessica Parker (who carried a Judith Lieber bag as her alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And the City) went in the other direction. She also wore a headpiece but her crown depicted an entire Nativity scene.
Fans took to social media to praise Carter for her choice of outift and to publicly enjoy her accessories.
LYNDA CARTER'S CROWN SAYS "NEVER AGAIN" IN HEBREW. I'M CRYING.
