Description
A red cape with an EU flag stuck to the back of it. The EU flag is a navy rectangle with a circle of twelve gold stars.
This cape is part of a Wonder Woman costume worn by artist and activist Madeleina Kay to protest Brexit.
The outfit was worn to the People's Vote March in 2019 which called for a second referendum.
Madeleina Kay, also known as EU Supergirl, is an artist, musician and poltical activist who commonly wears superhero costumes to campaign against Britain's departure from the European Union. She was famously told to leave a European Commission press conference, despite having press accreditation, for wearing a Supergirl outfit.
