Superman’s weakness is Kryptonite. Lois’s weakness is a certain red dress.

Lois’s iconic red dress was introduced in the Superman & Lois season three episode ‘The Dress.’ We learn that it was a special dress that Clark bought for her during the early days of their relationship. Lois almost gave the dress away when she was undergoing chemotherapy but decides to keep it.

The red dress makes another appearance in the afterlife sequence during the series finale. The scene of Lois welcoming Clark to the afterlife in her red dress was meant to be sentimental, but for Lois’s actress Bitsie Tulloch, it was torture.

“All I remember was when the door opens and [Lois’s] in this red dress, I was thinking, don’t scream, don’t scream,” Tulloch says during a panel at GalaxyCon Raleigh 2025. “I hated that dress so much. They had to reline it three times. It was like death by a thousand paper cuts. For some reason the sequins were cutting into my skin.”

“There was an episode in season three called ‘The Dress,’ so I’m trying on all these spectacular red dresses. I see this one, and I’m like, ‘No, I’m not even putting it on, because they’re going to see it, and they’re going to pick it, and it hurts.’ So, when I don’t want to wear something, and I’m forced to be photographed in it for the producers, this is how I stand.”

Tulloch then demonstrated a boring pose. “The other dresses I was like…,” Tulloch says as she strikes a more interesting pose.

“And I’m like, they’re not going to pick it up. It got picked. I had little paper cuts everywhere. They lined it. It just kept showing up. And I’m like, ‘Guys, enough with the dress.’ And then of course I read the series finale, and I’m like, ‘Ugh, the dress.’ I saw that it was getting auctioned off online for a lot of money and people loved it. I’m glad you guys loved it. If I saw it again, I would burn it and light it on fire.”

Whoever won the auction for the dress, don’t let Bitsie Tulloch near your closet. Especially if she has matches.
