Original Lynda Carter ‘Wonder Woman’ Bodysuit Just Sold at Auction for a Large Amount
When you think of Wonder Woman, odds are high that you think of the beautiful and strong Lynda Carter in her trademark red, white, blue and gold bodysuit, tiara, boots and “Lasso of Truth.” Now, lucky fans purchased the entire original Americana uniform bodysuit worn by Carter, along with her tiara, earrings, “Lasso of Truth” prop and even her knee-high boots, during the Julien’s Auctions “Channel Surfing” auction event on May 8.
The “Channel Surfing” auction offers much more than Wonder Woman’s outfit, however; it also features props, costumes and memorabilia from other television shows including the couch from Roseanne, costumes from The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour and Mama’s Family, props from Star Trek and Lost in Space and many, many more items perfect for nostalgic collectors.
Julien’s Auctions
What might the costumes go for at auction? It was estimated that the bodysuit with bracelets would fetch around $100,000-$200,000, and indeed sold for $100,000 while the tiara and earrings went for $20,000, the “Lasso of Truth” sold for $25,000, and thigh-high red boots sold for $40,000. There was also a classic Wonder Woman doll, a costume sketch, and smaller costume elements that were available for bids.
Wonder Woman’s TV costumes
While she only played the character for three seasons, Carter and her classic bodysuit costume have been cemented in pop culture history. But do you remember the other pieces she wore on the show, which ran from 1975 to 1979? Several episodes saw alternate costumes, including a Western look in “The Bushwhackers” and a blue wetsuit that came out whenever she needed to go underwater or strangely enough, on a motorcycle. In the 1975 pilot film The New Original Wonder Woman, she wore a skirted costume that looked the most like the one from the 1940s comic books and is the rarest of all of her looks.
The “Channel Surfing” auction took place live and online on Wednesday, May 7th, and Thursday, May 8th.
