Is St Paul referring to physical appearance of man and woman when he speaks of creation in God's image in 1 Cor 11: 7?

St Paul, while referring to the need for a women to cover her head during worship says in 1 Cor 11:7 (NSRVCE): > For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection of God; but woman is the reflection of man. But then, we read in Gen 1: 27: > So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. One can hardly interpret the terms ‘humankind’ and ‘them’ as comprising only Adam and his male progeny . In fact they comprise both Adam, Eve and their progeny of both sexes. But then, why does St Paul give a different type of interpretation of Gen 1: 27, putting a limit to the concept of creation in God's image? Is he only referring to the physical appearance of man and woman for the purpose of supporting his teaching that woman should cover her head during worship ? In fact, he goes on to state in Verses 14 & 15: > Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. **My question therefore is**: According to Catholic scholars, is St Paul referring to physical appearance of man and woman when he tells of creation in God's image, in 1 Cor 11: 7?
