Milly Alcock Turned Up to Her Supergirl Premiere in New York in Head-To-Toe Black and Opera Gloves
Milly Alcock walked out of The Bowery Hotel in a strapless black bodice, tailored trousers, and opera-length leather gloves before heading to the New York premiere of Supergirl.
Days earlier, asked during Pride Month why fans read Kara Zor-El as a queer icon, she said the character “doesn’t live inside the binary of what we think a woman should be,” and that the film works because “it’s not centred around a man. It’s not centred around love at all, if anything.” Then came the line that took off online: “She’d probably go both ways.”
She told reporters she was “honored” fans see the character that way, pointing to her own queer friends. The movie, she’s said, leans on Kara’s emotional resilience over her physical powers, and her cape was remade using leftover material from Christopher Reeve’s 1978 Superman costume.
