If they're trying to make the outfit more practical, I can understand the pants. But with that reasoning, they should at least give her a top that fits. If they're trying to make the top sexier, then why can't she have the more bathing-suit trunks? I wish the top looked more like a corsette, made of more substantial material. Even leather would look nicer.
I will say, that the red boots and darker pants are an improvement. I knew the stars were there before, but this offsets them a little better. The gold details still look a little cheap. But other than that, I think her boots are very cute. I'd love to buy a pair and repaint them with a nicer gold color.

Linda Carter HAS aged very gracefully. She is and will always be my WW. My thoughts on the new suit was summed up perfectly by Bizarro Lois. Leather corset and darker colors. The hardware looks like it was vacuuformed. Way too cheap. Not that anyone has really cared but her lasso seemed to have gained a extra 12" since Linda owned the mantle. Just puttin' that out there. 
Wow. I'm usually the wet blanket that hates new, innacurate, on-screen, redesigned super hero costumes.
This I like!
I love how everybody says she looks like a hooker or looks silly. Have you SEEN the original costume??? Lynda Carter, yes she looks like the classic Wonder Woman. Are you going to tell me HER costume DOESN'T look like a hooker's? Hell, this new one is more CONSERVATIVE! It looks more practacle with the pants and the (my favorite part) FLAT boots. This looks functional and still keeping with the original look of the costume (yeah, I know, her boobs can pop out during crime-fighting) but they had to keep some apects of the orignal costume.
It comes down to this: fans will be unhappy if they change the costume at all. But it's going to look like a "hooker" outfit no matter how you cut it. You want to avoid that? Don't do Wonder Woman.

It's an improvement. The top still looks ridiculous to me though. It's like they're putting her in a wonder bra and tightening the heck out of the top so they don't push her out.
They need to breathe, it shouldn't be squeezing them in so tight! :lol

I don't think the outfit looks like a hooker. It still looks like a superhero costume. There are plenty of heroes whose costumes look more whorish than Wonder Woman's(classic or TV). However, I think that in some shots, this actress had a little too much blush on, and that was what made her look like a hooker. I'm more annoyed with how cheap some of the costume elements look(and I mean cheap in terms of quality/craftsmanship).

Leather= better. Can't have enough animal skin on a superhero costume these days.

It has a major case of the shakey cam, but here's some footage of Adrian and her stunt double filming.

Anything shiny or glossy like that top on a woman and a man automatically thinks hooker. No two ways about it. If it had been muted leather or even fabric, the hooker look would be diminished. Think Xena the Warrior Princess.
I have dated Models who could run the 50 yard dash in high heels as if they were wearing Asics!
Put a pair of choos at the finish line and they could beat any NFL player! :lol

As one who spent many years in a club scene geared towards victorian gothic fashion, I do have to agree with the above sentiments that the corset should have been done in leather. It would look simply amazing with the right kind of boning and cut.
Not only does leather provide a modicum of protection against knife slashes and cigarette burns on the dance floor, it can be finished to any number of different shines and has enough give for an action hero without looking like Rubies was the production costume designer. I'm also not thrilled with the pants - I actually liked the first ones better, but I would have gone with a shiny motorcycle leather there as well.
The poor woman looks like she's been crammed into a top two sizes too small, and despite knowing the TV censors would never let it happen, we can all visualize a wardrobe malfunction clearly in our heads. I suspect they want the ultimate boob jigglage like in the Linda Carter gif, to titillate the teenage audience and the nerds in their man-caves clutching their boxes of Kleenex. In this case, the shiny spandex/pleather/pvc-looking blend works quite well.
Finally, when you've got (real) leather for the base costume, you can really make gold and silver accessories pop in amazing ways that don't look like they came off a cheap vacuform machine in Greg Stone's basement.

I can definitely visualize a wardrobe malfunction happening (or maybe I should say fantasize a wardrobe malfunction) but I'm sure there's enough double-sided tape involved that it'd take an act of God for that thing to fall down even a half-inch no matter how much jiggling was involved. I don't think we can expect to hear about any "Price Is Right halter top accidents" anytime soon :lol
I do think leather would have been a better choice, at least for the top even if not the pants. I can understand them not wanting to use PVC or leather pants... I imagine that'd be difficult and uncomfortable for the actress on a daily production shoot for a possibly ongoing series... but they should have at least done the top in leather. The gold pieces could look better too... at least they could look like metal and not plastic.
All told, I dig it. it could be better but I like it. And Adrianne is very easy on the eyes IMHO.
