Lynda Carter attends a gala in Washington, D.C. without shoes

Lynda Carter.

Lynda Carter made a strong first impression.

At the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Woman of Leadership Award presentation on Friday at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the Wonder Woman actress walked the red carpet in her pants.

Carter, 70, looked stunning without the typical heels in a sequin dress with a slit up one thigh.

She was present to support her friend and fellow designer Diane von Furstenberg, who was given the Feminist Award during the event. The prize was created by Julie Opperman, the late chairman of the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation and associate justice of the Supreme Court.

Carter might be emulating a look that Selena Gomez popularised.

The “Spring Breakers” actress and Martin Short presented an award at the most recent 2022 SAG Awards while the actress walked on stage barefoot. The 29-year-old actress removed her black shoes from the red carpet after tripping and falling to her knees in front of the cameras.

“It’s been one year since I said goodbye to my husband, Robert A. Altman,” she wrote alongside a photo of the two of them last month. “There are years that feel just too short, and then there are years that seem to go on forever. This year without Robert has felt like a decade. Each day, I have had to learn how to live my life and understand who I am without him.

“I wake up and strive to create things that bring others joy, because that is exactly what my husband did every single day,” she went on. “More importantly, Robert always cared so deeply for the people around him. Whether he was your husband, father, son, brother, or simply a friend, he was the best you could ask for. Robert lived life to the fullest and made a resounding impact, and he will continue to be loved and remembered. I am just a breath away from you, Robert. I will always be in love with you.”

Carter and Altman married in 1984 and had two children.
