Supergirl’s new costume for Season 5 was revealed on Instagram by star Melissa Benoist. The biggest change, you’ll notice, is that the skirt has been swapped out for a pair of pants.
Take a look:
The new look also features a revised gold belt, hand guards that extend to her knuckles, and a fresh hairdo sporting bangs.
According to a piece on the new Supergirl costume over at EW, the showrunners have been discussing the possibility of creating a new suit with pants since Season 1 but held off until they could use the costume change to represent a shift in Supergirl’s story.
