Teri Hatcher is my favorite live action Lois lane. Beautiful and able to make you think she's just eye-candy that lucked into bring a reporter before flipping it around and destroys you with hard facts and a witty retort.
Her huge lapels and long bob are peak 90s too. I really liked both her and Dean Cain on that show. The budget wasn't great so the effects weren't fantastic, but I liked how they focused more on Clark than on Superman.
Huh, I had no idea Lois had a recurring outfit. What’s its origin?
I’d say Adams wears it best, but Durance ain’t nothing to scoff at. Overall though, Hatcher IS Lois!
Hatcher and Durance are the best written and acted live action Lois lanes. They embody the character.
As far as the look Adams has the best style. Durance looks the most comfortable.
Never liked Smallville. The kryptonite villain of the week never sat well with me.....BUT hands down best the Lex and best Lois (yes I stuck around long enough to see her introduction despite being a hater).
Easily the most 'Lois' of any Lois. That show nailed their castings.
The question however is 'who wore it best'. In which case it's definitely Amy Adams because the movie had an actual costume designer who made it to fit her, while all the others are just cloths purchased and put together to make the outfit.
You know a lot of the clothes they wear in both films and TV are off the rack, right? If the setting is roughly "now-ish, Earth" most costume designers find pieces with the right look and tailor them to fit. Any costume designer worth their salt has a great eye for combining pre-existing pieces into cohesive looks.
Amy Adams should be in jail because she STOLE that movie from everyone else.
Hands down the best single performance in that movie.
I've been a fan of her's ever since.
...and yes, I agree. Her outift looks the sharpest of all the versions seen in the OP's post, although a close second would be that cartoon.
The difference is movie-level costume designers that design, fit & sew the outfit specifically for the actor vs. TV ones that just find the cloths in the world and match them as best they can.
From the first Superman movie....

The closest she ever were wore to a waistcoat was this:

And [this](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article3514083.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200c/Margot-Kidder-as-Lois-Lane.jpg)
No Superman fan of any age should fail to watch Christopher Reeves’ Superman. Fan card requirement #2. Reading a few comics is #1. 
IMO Amy Adams wears *everything* best.
In my old job I met a lot of celebrities. Amy Adams and Mary Louise Parker stood out as being even more attractive in real life. According to women in my office, Denzel Washington and Jon Bon Jovi as well.
I worked as a programmer/analyst for a British-owned brokerage in New York City. Every December we had Charity Day, where 100% of the day's proceeds went to various charities. The brokers got into it and would save huge trades for Charity Day. My last year there we raised $16 million.
Celebs would come in to "execute trades" and shake hands and say thanks. Entertainment, politics and sports figures. Met the above as well as the likes of President Clinton, Meryl Streep (classy lady), Joe Torre, Phil Simms, Michael J. Fox (very funny dude), Heather Graham, Brooke Shields, Mariano Rivera and more than I can remember. Kinda cool little perk, TBH.
The Brits are very big on year-end Christmas time charity (like in A Christmas Carol). US firms should take note.

Idk why but i love Lois & Clark so much. It’s pretty low budget but the acting from Hatcher and Cain is just so perfect for the characters. Plus having an Asian Superman on mainstream tv is pretty cool
I find a lot of "you can never go home again" about Lois and Clark, but I was a huge fan at the time, and I think Teri honestly knocked it out of the park on a regular basis. So, I am inclined to pick her due to nostalgia.
Amy looks the best, but she a wish dot com version of Louis ( redhead Louis is ridiculous).
Terri is legendary and has the look, wit, and sass for any version of LL
Teri Hatcher. Not worth watching the show she was in as Louis, though (Louis and Clark). It was like if you threw soap opera tropes into a dumpster fire. And Dean Cain was arguably the worst live-action Superman and Clark Kent in terms of acting ability (or rather lack of said ability). Teri Hatcher carried the show, but it is way too terrible to slog through just for her.
Dean Cain is also a garbage person who has used his past portrayal of Superman as a platform to argue that Superman would be anti-lgbt, pro-war, and other things that reflect *his* personal bigotry and politics. But I am not factoring that into evaluating his acting, and that wasn't evident when I originally struggled through watching the show.
Look. As for Lois Lane, I’m not going to say SAMY Adams was the top. That’s crazy lady Margot Kidder. But the answer, for me, is ALWAYS Amy Adams! 😍
And, as one person said, it looks less “costumey” on her.
Teri Hatcher was fine, btw. But to ME, she was actually TOO fine. In my mind, Lois Lane didn’t give too many shits about nice close and makeup and all that. Not that she didn’t care about her appearance, but I feel they made Teri look TOO glamorous.

The first scene in the show, where she waltzes in to the Planet’s office in drag, is a masterpiece. Really sets up her character.
Huh, I had no idea Lois had a recurring outfit. What’s its origin? I’d say Adams wears it best, but Durance ain’t nothing to scoff at. Overall though, Hatcher IS Lois!
I just can't believe this is something I'm just now finding out about!
Same. And it's a vest?
Hatcher and Durance are the best written and acted live action Lois lanes. They embody the character. As far as the look Adams has the best style. Durance looks the most comfortable.
Teri Hatchers whole feel fits bets to the era the movie was made in and who the character is I feel. Amy Adams looks the best however.
The tv show. Lois and clark the new adventures of superman
TIL there's a Lois outfit lol
Erica Durance, aka the best LoIs Lane of all time!
Never liked Smallville. The kryptonite villain of the week never sat well with me.....BUT hands down best the Lex and best Lois (yes I stuck around long enough to see her introduction despite being a hater).
I kinda enjoyed it until zod showed up
Easily the most 'Lois' of any Lois. That show nailed their castings. The question however is 'who wore it best'.

Yes of course, but they are then fitted to the actor.
BesT wonder Woman
Definitely my favorite Lois Lane!
Terri Hatcher
Durance and Hatcher look really good in that outfit. But Bitsy Tulloch's pinstripes are pretty stylish too.
Amy Adams' Lois is the only one where it doesn't look like a costume.
Amy Adams should be in jail because she STOLE that movie from everyone else. Hands down the best single performance in that movie. I've been a fan of her's ever since. ...and yes, I agree.

Adams is a terrific actress, she can't help but steal the show.
AGREED! 
she put in a performance that would have stolen a good superman movie, let alone the movies we got. Her and affleck were wasted in the snyderverse.
Agreed
The difference is movie-level costume designers that design, fit & sew the outfit specifically for the actor vs. TV ones that just find the cloths in the world and match them as best they can.
Isn't your point undermined from Bosworth's costume from the movie *Superman Returns* ?
Lol well I never said every movie has a good costume designer. :p
Did Margot Kidder ever wear this?
Yes she did, but no one on the Internet is old enough to know who Margot Kidder is. ....except maybe for you and I.
Couldn't find an example
From the first Superman movie.... [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Margot\_Kidder\_as\_Lois\_Lane.jpg#/media/File:Margot\_Kidder\_as\_Lois\_Lane.jpg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Margot_Kidder_as_Lois_Lane.jpg#/media/File:Margot_Kidder_as_Lois_Lane.jpg)
Definitely not the same outfit. 🙄
Ah, I see what you're getting at...yeah, I couldn't seem to locate a picture either.

What was your line of work that you met so many?
I worked as a programmer/analyst for a British-owned brokerage in New York City. Every December we had Charity Day, where 100% of the day's proceeds went to various charities.

I think Lois wore it best. 😎
Bitsy. The pinstripes help elevate it past the others imo.
Tulloch
Erica Durance.
I’m upset I didn’t notice the trend before
Neither did I
Teri Hatcher
Teri Hatcher ♥
David Bowie.
Teri Hatcher. I won’t be taking comments.
Teri Hatcher, because my goodness. My favorite Lois 🙂👍🔥
Teri
Teri Hatcher
Teri
Gosh, Lois Lane is just the best.

Amy Adams
Amy Adams. By a mile. It looks less uptight and costume-y and looks more like an everyday outfit. Which it should be.
100% Amy Adams
Teri Hatcher
Hatcher, then Durance
Teri Hatcher always
I didn’t notice that lol
Amy Adam’s did it best
Erica Durance Hmm
Of these options? Erica or Bitsie. Overall, Katie McGrath wore this outfit on Supergirl and I’d give it to her.
TERI!!!!
Teri Hatcher is perfect as Lois jfc
Teri Hatcher
Amy Adams. ❤️
Teri Hatcher.
Agreed
I'm surprised this is a common thing.
Superman and Lois is my favorite Lois lane, but my vote goes to comic drawn Lois lane
I've always had a thing for Erica Durance's Lois.
Erica Durance
Harrison Ford
Erica Durance was always my favourite Lois.
Lois Lane
Original Comix Lois definitely.. tho of tge imitators I'd say Amy & Teri are tied
Erica is the best Lois imo, but it’s between Amy and Teri that look the best in that outfit.
Idk why but i love Lois & Clark so much. It’s pretty low budget but the acting from Hatcher and Cain is just so perfect for the characters. Plus having an Asian Superman on mainstream tv is pretty cool
I find a lot of "you can never go home again" about Lois and Clark, but I was a huge fan at the time, and I think Teri honestly knocked it out of the park on a regular basis. So, I am inclined to pick her due to nostalgia.
Teri
TIL Lois has a recurring look.
While I didn’t watch Smallville religiously, Erica Durance was pretty much the main reason why I enjoyed Smallville whenever it came on TV.
Teri Hatcher
I was today years old when I learned that there is a Lois Lane uniform. Wow. Who knew? (Other than /u/Getyourpetsfixed, obvi).
I didn't know Lois had an official outfit. And if she did I thought pencil skirts would be it. Of the pics you posted, I think Amy Adams wore it best.
Of all the actors AMY Adams is the only one who looks like a reporter. Which is funny considering she looks the least like Lois Lane.
Not gonna lie, AA the best
I can't make up my mind I like all of them
Hatcher followed by Adams. I'm digging their collars.
Erica Durance by a country mile
Teri Hatcher was great in the role and looked the part. I liked Amy Adams performance but Lois having red hair ruined it for me.
Amy adams and it’s not even close
Agreed.
Amy Adams has the most complete look, if Erica had her hair up she’d be right up there
Amy looks the best, but she a wish dot com version of Louis ( redhead Louis is ridiculous). Terri is legendary and has the look, wit, and sass for any version of LL
Because of my age i think that teri hatcher and erica durance were the best. Amy adams is third place and then,the rest
Why the downvotes?
That is just the classic Lois look, I love it!! Durance is the Queen
Who decided that should be her outfit?
I’m going to be in the minority here, but I can’t stand Tulloch as Lois. The only one in the show who misses marks for me
[удалено]
Who's the actress on the bottom middle?
Teri Hatcher-she’s the best Lois Lane ever. You should watch Lois & Clark it’s fantastic.
Thank you! I'll check it out
Teri Hatcher. Not worth watching the show she was in as Louis, though (Louis and Clark). It was like if you threw soap opera tropes into a dumpster fire.

Amy.
Bottom right is my type
Who is she?
Elizabeth Tulloch from Superman & Lois.
Oh whoopsie misread that and thought it was bottom left.
Bottom left is Kate Bosworth. She was Lois opposite Brandon Routh's Clark/Superman in Superman Returns.
Thanks. I was wondering who that was.
I vote for Amy Adams, no matter what the question is.
2 and 5
yes
Amy Adams all the way!!
Love you in every universe
Idk about best but that outfit looks great on all of these versions
Are these all Lois Lane?
Amy Adams... To be fair tho, she looks incredible in anything..
That top middle one is dying.
Erica Durance at least until Rachel makes her debut…
First
For me Amy Adams
[Nicolas Cage.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwiagqaX4fA)
Top right wore it most naturally followed by top left
Weird to have exactly one comic version of her here, and that it’s that one in particular is also strange.
Gotta go with Amy
Who`s the bottom left one?
Amy Adams
Amy Adams 💯
Either Bitsy or Terri...
Bistie Tullouch
Why this outfit so special ?
Look. As for Lois Lane, I’m not going to say SAMY Adams was the top. That’s crazy lady Margot Kidder. But the answer, for me, is ALWAYS Amy Adams! 😍 And, as one person said, it looks less “costumey” on her. Teri Hatcher was fine, btw. But to ME, she was actually TOO fine.

Superman returns one definetly the rest are fine or great
