Ursa's (Sarah Douglas) complete costume from Richard Lester's superhero sequel Superman II. One of the Kryptonian criminals led by General Zod (Terence Stamp), Ursa wore her costume throughout the film as she descended upon Earth after being freed from the Phantom Zone, in which they were imprisoned.

This costume consists of a sheer black voile jumpsuit, a matching belt, and a pair of thigh-high shiny black leather boots. The jumpsuit features a matt black nylon trim, with black faux-leather piping that runs around the neckline, down the crotch, and down the wrists. Each leg and sleeve has a side split opening, and a printed costumier's label is sewn into the back of the jumpsuit; this reads "Sarah Douglas, 15153 Harness, Superman II". The right boot features a zip closure down the inside seam, while the left boot's zip closure is located along the back seam.

Also included are three promotional stills of Douglas in her costume, and a group on-set photograph depicting Ursa, General Zod and Non (Jack O'Halloran), which has been autographed by each performer in silver pen.

The costume comes presented on a custom headless mannequin mounted on a black display stand. This lot exhibits wear from production use and age, including a strip of tape replacing the hook-and-eye fasteners on the belt; patches of black tape applied to the boots to fix imperfections; and a broken zip closure on the left boot, which has been sewn up loosely to secure it in place. Dimensions: 175 cm x 83 cm x 50 cm (69" x 32 3/4" x 19 3/4")
