Because Xena has a more roundish face and Gabrielle looked more feminie by that times beauty standards and it takes some time for us to overcome the standards society has burdened us with and develop our own taste.

At least that's what it was for me. Today I think they're both absolutely stunning women. But at that time I was 14, living in a relatively conservative home and felt threatened by strong women.

Actually I think it's because Xena covers up more in later episodes and Gabrielle always showed more skin. And in some seasons had shorter hair than here. When was OPs picture from I wonder?

Xena is wearing a Katana, she only aquires one in Episode 133 of 134.
That's S6E21 "A Friend in Need Part I"

So OPs picture must be from the last or second to last episode.
