One of the most iconic superhero actresses of all time had all eyes on her as she rocked up to Schiaparelli’s Paris Haute Couture week show.

Lynda Carter, most known for her efforts as Wonder Woman, showed off her fashion prowess during an appearance at the star-studded event this morning.

The 73-year-old was joined by her daughter, Jessica Altman – who she shares with late husband Robert Altman – and a string of other huge names for the annual show, while Kendall Jenner was among those hitting the runway in the stunning designs.

Lynda opted for a black jacket with gold detailing, worn on top of an embellished black dress and chunky boots.

She clutched a black and gold bag, while accessorizing with chunky gold jewelry.

Jessica also got the color memo, modelling a long black dress with gold embellishments – the 34-year-old covered up against the cold in a matching coat.

The pair were joined at the luxury event by Regina King, Gabrielle Union, Pixie Lott and Carla Bruni.

Emily in Paris icon Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu looked as fashionable as ever while making her way into the venue, while Kelly Rutherford looked as glamorous as her Gossip Girl character, Lily Van der Woodsen, as she joined in the fun.

Lynda has become a staple of Schiaparelli shows in recent years, and also popped up at the Haute Couture Week show last year.

The actress shot to fame in the 1970s after winning Miss World USA in 1972– and placing in the top 15 of the Miss World competition that same year.

She swapped pageants for acting and landed a few TV roles before being cast as Wonder Woman in the hit ABC series, in 1975.

The series aired for three seasons until it ended in 1979, but she went on to become a huge fan favorite with viewers.

Following the series, she went on to land roles in Hawkeye, Law & Order, Supergirl, Smallville, Hope & Faith and Partners in Crime.

But it is Lynda’s dual role as Diana Prince and Wonder Woman that people still praise her on today.

‘People still recognize me all the time as Wonder Woman,’ she told People Magazine. ‘I don’t know that I’ve changed too dramatically.’

Suggesting that’s because she avoided going under the knife for facial surgery, she continued: ‘I don’t cut my face, so I probably look just myself, but older.

“And the reason I’ve never had any facial surgery is just because I’m afraid. It’s scary, because we’ve all seen some bad ones.

‘Actors and celebrities always look so great when they’re on the red carpet, but when you see them in real life, they just look like a regular person with no makeup and their crummy clothes on. Everybody looks the same when they’re not all dressed up.

‘If everyone did a three-hour makeover before they left the house, then they’d all look amazing. What I’m trying to say is, there’s a lot of effort behind those pictures. Don’t think they walk out the door looking like that!’
