Too much patriotism can come off as daunting, especially when literally wearing your heart for America on your sleeve. But when done right, one piece at a time, some stars, stripes, red, white and blue can look fantastic. Here are the top 15 patriotic pieces we love right now during our month of Americana.

- The new television Wonder Woman has nothing on Lynda Carter, not to mention that her costume looks like a cheap Jeremy Scott cast-off. [Socialite Life]

MAC Cosmetics will launch a Wonder Woman line this spring. So when you don your satin tights to fight for your rights, you can coordinate your reds, whites and blues. Sidebar: am I the only one who thinks the “Wonder Woman” theme is the best song ever?

I thought coming home would take me completely away from the fabulous world of fashion, yet there I was this morning, in my union suit and floral-print kimono, breaking up newspapers to build a fire (Little Homo on the Prairie, anyone?) when I came across an old article from the Poughkeepsie Journal. Chances are Kelly Cutrone and I may have shared a stroll in the local mall.

First MAC cosmetics decided to team up with some heinous Disney villains, but now they decided to work with some good guys. Well, a good girl to be exact, Wonder Woman. The limited edition range will be launching Spring 2011 and includes lipsticks, eye shadows, blush and nail polish. I can’t wait to see the mix of red, blues, and yellows.

Richard Branson invited my idol Dita Von Teese to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Virgin Airways’ direct London Gatwick to Las Vegas flights. In true pin-up style, she’s been posted on the side of a Boeing 777. Officially, the hottest thing in the air.

Megan Fox gets the glam treatment in this new spread from Wonderland Magazine. On a side, can we get this girl to play Wonder Woman instead of Catwoman? I’d appreciate her in American booty shorts over latex anyday.

Diane von Furstenberg’s comic book collaboration with Wonder Woman and DC Comics is hitting the street and it’s one book we’re more than willing to put down. Aside from the lame attempt at female empowerment (Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be?!? Are you serious?) it’s some of the worse illustration we’ve seen in a comic book in some time. Bordering on pure camp, this book looks like it was drawn by Diane herself.
Try your best to skip this one indies. If you don’t it might become a regular series, or worse, might get the big screen treatment. And honestly folks, aren’t the American Express commercials that attack Project Runway every week enough!!!

I might be hitting supehero overload. Last night I hit up an early showing of Iron Man with Rebecca and Lauren (totally worth seeing). Next week we’re heading to the Met to check out the Superhero exhibit and now we hear that Diane Von Furstenberg is creating a capsule collection in collaboration with DC Comics. In the immortal words of Joey Lawrence from Blossom, “Whoa!”
It seems we have finally hit a trend. The Superhero.
And rightfully so. In a world where war and terror are all around us (at least according to Fox News it is), we are all looking for a hero. Designers have picked up on this need and now clothing and outfits are hitting the runway inspired by Batman (Gareth Pugh) and plated like suits of armor (Balenciaga).
Diane, being the superwoman she is, has just followed the natural course of action. Skip the inspiration and go straight for the source. Wonder Woman, a lot like Diane, is the quintessential power femme. She’s an Amazonian with superior strength and the ultimate accessory, a lasso that makes men tell the truth. If ever there was a role model for women it’s this chick.
So congrats to Diane for grabbing the rights to this hot property. With a Wonder Woman movie already in the works, Furstenburger is sure to get props amongst fannies and fashionistas alike.
Hopefully Diane’s collection won’t be as cheesy as this fan made Wonder Woman preview. Although, a corseted wrap dress with stars and stripes might not be that far off.
