What do the colors on Wonder Woman's costume stand for?

Answer 1

Let us go back to the days of an Historical Wonder Woman, Catherine the Great! In Catherine"s lengthy reign ( 32 Years) She formally adopted Red and Gold as the official Russian colors- Power and Blood, power and beauty, etc.This has been retained even in the KGB Badge ( which indirectly she founded with the help of Major Potemkin, her live-in Lover at the Kremlin) She once got him a present of a tame squirrel- maybe a tie in with acorns and Oak Leaves- Major"s badge of office!) anyhow there is the Royal Red and Gold and we remember the fact she is a Princess. The stars on her lower quarters ( panties) are an obvious reference to the Stars and Stripes without being Flag-disrespectful The Red Star on her Crown seems borrowed from the Russians, but no Mallet and Scythe underneath so it is not the Communist order of the Red Star. and so on we go. the Platinum-alloy bracelets are also a badge of rank- did you ever think this was the forerunner of modern Campaign Ribbons? well Herc and them had to show who was Boss, right- and Bracelets did the job.Anything else is conjecture. the star-spangled pants obviously a USA touch.
