Milly Alcock’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow costume has finally been unveiled through new DC Universe set pH๏τos. Kara Zor-El is getting her own solo film for the first time since 1984’s Supergirl, as Alcock is set to bring the famous Kryptonian heroine to life in the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow movie. However, one of the biggest details from the upcoming DCU installment is Alcock’s actual suit, as fans have been waiting to see her in the DC costume.
With Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow still in the midst of its principal pH๏τography, @UnBoxPHDFILM was able to snap the first set pH๏τo of Alcock in her actual costume.

The Supergirl costume, as it appears from the back/side in the set pH๏τo, 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. The Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow set pH๏τo shows the тιтular heroine on top of what could be a military truck, or some other kind of armored vehicle.
Thanks to @UnBoxPHDFILM, additional Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow set pH๏τos have now made their way online, giving a closer look at Alcock in the super-suit.

While there are still no other Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow cast 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 PH๏τo Reveals About Milly Alcock’s Costume
Given that Supergirl. Woman of Tomorrow is adapting the comic of the same name, it’s not a huge surprise that the set pH๏τo is revealing what appears to be a very comic book-accurate version of the suit. From the key characters that have already joined the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow cast, 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 original Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow writer 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 the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow set pH๏τo 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 that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow may 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 original Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow story 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 latest actor to play Supergirl in live-action, it’s worth looking into how her Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow costume 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’s Supergirl, 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 the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic.
Alcock’s costume in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow takes the character back to a more classic look, as Sasha Calle’s armored-inspired suit in The Flash movie was more in line with the design that Lara Lane-Kent, the daughter of Lois and Clark in the Injustice timeline, 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 in the DCEU movie timeline didn’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’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow suit 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 on Smallville only 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 PH๏τo Revealing Milly Alcock’s Costume
While it’s hard to see the full costume close-up, it definitely looks like they are adapting the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow costume design for the 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 of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as they get closer to wrapping filming.
