It’s a publication focused on everything masculine.
However, GQ decided to shake things up by featuring Gal Gadot sporting a crop-top on one of the four covers for their December issue, titled Men Of The Year: The New American Heroes.
Given the title Wonder Woman Of The Year, in reference to her blockbuster movie, Gadot appeared alongside Colin Kaepernick, Stephen Colbert, and Kevin Durant on the cover of the magazine.
Gal Gadot, named Wonder Woman of the Year by GQ, showcases her toned figure in a crop top for the American Heroes cover. Despite her unexpected rise to fame, 2017 has proven to be a standout year for the 32-year-old actress. Previously unknown, Gal gained recognition after starring as the superhero in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, it was her portrayal of Wonder Woman in this year’s hit movie that truly catapulted her into stardom. The film shattered box office records, earning over $821 million worldwide. Kaepernick, an NFL star, was also recognized by GQ as the magazine’s Citizen of the Year.
Description: In addition to Gal, GQ showcased NFL player Colin Kaepernick as their chosen Citizen Of The Year in their latest issue.
Penalized: Despite his skill, the athlete went without a team this year for initiating the ‘take a knee’ movement to draw attention to police violence against individuals of color.
Despite being a skilled sportsman, this year has seen him without a team after he initiated the ‘take a knee’ movement by kneeling during the National Anthem to raise awareness about police brutality against people of color. The magazine places him in the same league as Muhammad Ali and Jackie Robinson for daring to take a stand. Collecting insights from a diverse group of ten of his friends and acquaintances, which included Selma director Ava DuVernay, rapper J Cole, and NFL player Eric Reid, the magazine put together a profile of the player who was once featured for his exceptional talent.

Nessa, Colin Kaepernick’s significant other for three years, also shared her thoughts. She expressed her admiration for his compassion towards others, attributing it to his upbringing by his adoptive parents who had tragically lost two of their biological children to heart conditions.
“I feel incredibly lucky to have Colin by my side,” she said. “Our relationship is built on love, care, and a mutual commitment to make a positive impact in the world. We constantly encourage each other to keep striving to bring about change.”
The Bad Hombre Of The Year title goes to Stephen Colbert, providing some comedic relief in these challenging times. Nessa, on the other hand, encouraged ordinary Americans to take a stand against racism in their own families this Thanksgiving. She emphasized the importance of having tough conversations, even if they get heated, with relatives who may hold racist or prejudiced views. By challenging these beliefs based on opinions, lies, or misinformation, there is an opportunity to educate and make a difference. It may not be easy and could lead to arguments at first, but it’s a necessary step towards progress.
