Gal Gadot will be among the attendees at Sunday’s 2018 Golden Globes, and likely one of the many women wearing all-black looks as a symbol of protest against sexual harassment in Hollywood.

So on Tuesday, it was no surprise to see the 32-year-old Israeli-born actress go in the opposite direction when choosing her gown for the 29th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala sponsored by Cadillac.

The Wonder Woman star walked the red carpet at the Palm Springs Convention Center in a fitted sleeveless bright yellow gown with a plunging asymmetrical neckline, an open back, and thigh-high slit.

Gadot accessorized her look with tan heels, black earrings and matching nail polish. She wore her brunette hair up in a tight bun.

Among the evening’s big winners were Chastain (Chairman’s Award for Molly’s Game), Willem Dafoe (Icon Award for The Florida Project), Hunter (Career Achievement Award, The Big Sick), Janney (Actress Spotlight Award, I, Tonya), Sam Rockwell (Actor Spotlight Award, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Ronan (Actress Desert Palm Achievement Award, Lady Bird), Gary Oldman (Actor Desert Palm Achievement Award, Darkest Hour), Blige (Actress Breakthrough Performance Award for Mudbound), and Timothée Chalamet (Actor Breakthrough Performance Award, Call Me By Your Name).
