Deepica Mutyala South Asian Wonder Woman transformation

New Delhi: After the 'South Asian Artists' movement on Twitter, beauty blogger Deepica Mutyala has kept the momentum of the movement going by transforming into an utterly gorgeous South Asian Wonder Woman - complete with bangles, maang tika and a saree for a cape! Though the Los Angeles-based Indian-origin blogger did this as a Halloween tutorial, she writes that it is much more than just that. "The larger picture was to get a point across that you can be whoever you want for Halloween and not feel any limits," she writes on YouTube.
 
"One of the reasons I started my channel is that there's not a lot of Southeast Asian women out there. My followers are diverse, but girls like me don't feel like there's anyone out there to relate to," said Deepica to Bustle in a 2015 interview. Today, she writes, "Just because you don't see a hero (or any character) that looks like you out there, doesn't mean you can't be them."
