The ‘Wonder Woman’ who wore a blue sash dress by Lebanese fashion guru Elie Saab for the National Board of Review Awards Gala here earlier this week might have upset some her fans.
Elie Saab’s Instagram page posted an image of Gadot with a description of the “flawless” actor in the brand’s Ready-to-Wear Spring Summer 2018. But since there are tensions between Israel and Lebanon, the post immediately sparked a backlash online before being removed altogether.
The post, which was later deleted, sparked social media outrage with many criticizing the brand for praising Gadot who openly shows support for Israel Defense Forces.
I don’t have a problem with her wearing @ElieSaabWorld but I do have a problem with posting her picture from Elie Saab’s account and bragging about an ex Israeli soldier wearing his dress! Don’t ruin one the few things that make us proud Lebanese people! Elie Saab makes us proud. pic.twitter.com/V5VGpDyS8o

This is not the first time the Lebanese have spoken out against Gadot though. Just last year, her superhero film Wonder Woman was banned from cinemas across Lebanon.
