The Supergirl costume, as it appears from the back/side in the set photo, has long blue sleeves, a wide gold belt, red skirt and what appear to be red boots. Alcock also seems to be wearing a short cape, which may be lengthend with CGI. TheSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowset photo shows the titular heroine on top of what could be a military truck, or some other kind of armored vehicle.
Thanks to@UnBoxPHDFILM, additionalSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowset photos have now made their way online, giving a closer look at Alcock in the super-suit.

While there are still no otherSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcast members seen in the images from@UnBoxPHDFILM, this is the first time Alcock has been spotted in her costume with the full cape attached. Even though it’s from a distance, Alcock’s Supergirl costume has the same House of El symbol as David Corenswet’s Superman, reaffirming the connectivity across their two DCU movies.
What The Supergirl Set Photo Reveals About Milly Alcock’s Costume
Given thatSupergirl. Woman of Tomorrowis adapting the comic of the same name,it’s not a huge surprise that the set photo is revealing what appears to be a very comic book-accurate version of the suit. From the key characters that have already joinedtheSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcast, even though they have not been spotted yet, to Alcock’s suit, it’s clear that they intend to keep the DCU adaptation as closely to the book as possible. With originalSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowwriter Tom King also attached as an architect to the DCU movie, it makes sense that Kara’s costume from his book gets to be properly done on screen.
While theSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowset photo sees Kara on what appears to be a military vehicle, it’s unclear why she is dealing with a military force. Even though it remains to be seen,it’s always possible thatSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowmay have Kara dealing with an army at some point in the film. What is more interesting is whether this scene is meant to take place in space, which is where the originalSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowstory is based, or if Kara is somehow on Earth.
How Milly Alcock’s Supergirl Costume Compares To Other Live-Action Versions
As Alcock is becoming the latestactor to play Supergirl in live-action, it’s worth looking into how herSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcostume differs from the many versions that have come before. In terms of cinematic incarnations, Alcock’s suit has the color scheme of Helen Slater’s costume from 1984’sSupergirl,but the material doesn’t look like the traditional spandex that the latter had several decades ago. The biggest difference between those two suits is that Alcock’s costume comes with the bigger, gold belt that became a huge standout from theSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcomic.
Alcock’s costume inSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowtakes the character back to a more classic look, as Sasha Calle’s armored-inspired suit inThe Flashmovie was more in line with the design that Lara Lane-Kent, the daughter of Lois and Clark in theInjusticetimeline, wore during her brief hallucinated appearance in the comics.Not only is Alcock’s suit going back to the skirt design, but it includes red boots, which Calle’s Kara inthe DCEU movie timelinedidn’t have. The only similarity between Alcock and Calle’s Supergirl suits is that both of them have S-logos that are not the traditional House of El logo.
When looking at Alcock’sSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowsuit in comparison to Kara’s live-action TV appearances,Melissa Benoist’s incarnation in the Arrowverse is the only one that can be compared with the DCU counterpart, since Laura Vandervoort’s Supergirl onSmallvilleonly donned a proto-suit during season 10. The biggest difference is that Alcock’s suit has a brighter color tone, as all of Benoist’s costumes went with a darker blue and red. Once an official look has been revealed for Alcock’s Supergirl, it will be easier to tell how else her costume stands out.
Our Take On The Supergirl Set Photo Revealing Milly Alcock’s Costume
While it’s hard to see the full costume close-up, it definitely looks like they are adapting theSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowcostume design forthe DCU timeline,as Alcock can clearly be seen with Kara’s big golden belt. Ideally, before they shoot more scenes in public, Gunn and DC Studios reveal an official look at Alcock in her DCU suit. But for now, the world will have to wait and see what else comes out ofSupergirl: Woman of Tomorrowas they get closer to wrapping filming.
