Fashion Crush Friday: Catriona Balfe

For those of you who somehow haven't seen Outlander, this is a PSA. Catriona Balfour is dynamite. Plus, for unknown reasons, she embodies what I imagine Rowena Ravenclaw to look like more than anyone else I've ever seen, which naturally established a girl crush. Note the Ravenclaw-esque scarf.

She definitely has that Keira Knightley effect where she seems to belong in a period piece at all times, but the more you see her on the Red Carpet the more you see how adaptable she is. Plus, anytime I see her and Sam together I see ultimate #couplegoals even if they're just together in my daydreams. 

This crushed velvet short suit is so adventurous and sweet, while also being menswear inspired. 
I love the way that she uses rich jewel tones to play off that gorgeous dark/light contrast between her hair and her skin tone. 


At the Golden Globes, this dress was fantastically romantic, and I love the slip-style bust portion. Then she can go completely demure and Samantha Cameron in a long sleeve, floor length column.


It makes sense that she is a time traveler in Outlander because she's a style chameleon in real life as well. Here she looks completely at home in sharper, sleeker silhouettes. I actually find her a bit hard to pin down style-wise as she seems to cover a wide range. 



Do you prefer her in more romantic period pieces, or sharper modern looks? And are you watching Outlander??
