New Supersuit ?

New boots, same style of boots....her boots were getting pretty scruffy, so I'm sure they have several pairs and each season she starts with a new pair. It however looks like they have reinforced the toe on this new pair probably simply for more protection and comfort.

Yeah, the reinforced boot is new. But the main costume appears the same. At least what little we can see. You can even spot the red lining on the outer cuff of the sleeve. The costume has likely not changed.

Don't get me wrong. With Melissa's hair drastically changed, this would be the season for a new suit. But I'm not seeing any significant changes, yet. It is odd that she's covered up like that in the middle of summer, though...we'll see if there is a reason!

That looks like a robe you wear when getting your hair styled or serious makeup applied. Maybe she’s on her way to the makeup artist. It doesn’t look like she’s had her makeup done yet in this picture. She might have just had her hair done and didn’t bother taking off the robe to walk to makeup.

I think I would agree with your summation here Kelly. This might be a very, very slight change to the suit without any major ones.

Thanks Brierrose! I was wondering why she was wearing such a baggy garment. Just one more thing I've learned from the gang on this site!

bah ha ha ha I took a screen shot of the same picture, wondering the same thing because of the new boots. Looks like they would be much more comfortable, especially when shooting action sequences. I always thought the old ones looked like might feet would hurt in them.

Maybe they also fixed the leather part by the knees. They seemed to be somewhat floppy in BTS shots.

I doubt it's a costume redesign, at most a couple of very very small tweaks for comfort. I don't think the new boots will even be mentioned storywise. They probably start out season with at least a couple of freshly made suits to put in rotation as they wear out. I've always liked the boots and appreciate that all of the women in the Arrrowverse fight in sensible footwear. LOL Supergirl wears sensible boots for fighting but as we found out last season Kara, Lena and Eve can all run in heels.

The boots are clearly still over the knee and that makes sense from a practical standpoint of providing protection for Melissa and the stunt doubles. There's just not a great way to do a boot that doubles as a knee pad without some weirdness.

I was just wondering if the flap is now less floppy. For sure they're still tall. The toes appear to be more reinforced, more squared, and the soles look a tad thicker with more treads. Oh, and soles are red. More comfy, I suspect.

Vancouver's highs barely get into the low 70s, couple that with a stiff breeze in downtown Vancouver, it can get cold very quickly.

Speaking of Melissa's boots and hair. Then add to it the fact that DC recently released this episode of DC Superhero Girls:

I'm left wondering a few things:

1. Will we see Kara heat vision cutting her hair?

2. We've yet to see how will Kara style her hair (as Kara) to keep her secret identity.

3. Season one stock shots of Supergirl mostly in flight but also sometimes in action have been reused all the way to the end of season four. With new boots and hair style, those stock may no longer be useful. How will this affect each episodes budget?

With Melissa's hair drastically changed, this would be the season for a new suit.

That may be part of the reason they started filming so early, needing time to get in new shots....who knows. I guess we will see when it airs how they took care of those things.

Melissa just confirmed new suit this season going to pants not the skirt....

They are filming on location Tuesday. Paparazzi will be all over it. Too bad too because I know PR would want that revealed at con.

Yep.....Kevin Smith spilled the beans....lol

I eagerly await what the new suit may look like, but I hope it still looks dope. I love the classic look, I really do. But functionally, I get why they are changing it.

I hope, stylistically, it's kinda reminiscent of the Overgirl pants. That suit looked amazing.

By the looks of her arms, I suspect it won't be much different in design--minus the skirt. Unless, the picture was from an episode pre-suit switch. But, I'm leaning towards it looking much the same as before.

I suspect Winn will make a funny comment upon his return.

perhaps this pic is of her season 1 - 4 suit, and the new suit wont appear until after crisis and it will be her post crisis suit?

Is it just me, or are those new boots ?[attachment]FB_IMG_1562857204456.jpg[/attachment]

HA !!! I knew it, I wasn't seeing things !!!

Agreed, kdogg87. That was a great suit.
It definitely portrayed the power of the character.

Agreed as well, I think a combination of that suit and Red Daughter would be fantastic.
