Closer Look at Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman

Catwoman, aka Selina Kyle, is equal parts deadly and chic. Most famously portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992’s Batman Returns, she and her killer wardrobe are just as memorable today as it was when it first graced the big screen almost three decades ago. (Who can forget Pfeiffer’s patent catsuit, designed by Mary Vogt and Bob Ringwood?) Since then, other actors have squeezed into the role’s skintight leather uniform, and the latest to do so is Zoë Kravitz. The star is portraying Catwoman in 2022’s The Batman, with Robert Pattinson starring as the titular character. And today, we got a closer look at what Kravitz’s Catwoman style is going to look like in the film.

Kravitz was spotted in character this morning, filming a scene for the movie in the U.K. She wore a leathery look—would you expect anything less?—consisting of a shiny trench coat, lace-up boots, and even a matching fascinator hat to go with it. Now, this is likely a snapshot of Selina Kyle, her out-of-costume alter ego, but the nod to Catwoman’s signature aesthetic is both clever and high fashion. The character’s outfits are clearly in good hands: Jacqueline Durran, who also worked on Little Women, 1917, and Anna Karenina, is the film’s costume designer. Now, we just sit back and wait to see what her actual Catwoman costume will look like. We got the briefest glimpse in the teaser trailer, but we need more—Meow!
