As one chapter closes with the end of the Venice Film Festival tomorrow, another begins with the start of the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF), and who better to kick off our coverage than the stunning Caitriona Balfe?
After being notably absent from the red carpet for some time, the ‘Outlander’ star made a spectacular comeback for the premiere of ‘The Cut’ at Princess of Wales Theatre on Thursday evening.
Caitriona’s look was nothing short of show-stopping, and of course, it came courtesy of Balmain—where glitz and glamour are practically second nature.
The black sequin dress, designed by Olivier Rousteing, was an embodiment of bold elegance. With its alluring thigh-high split and crystal-accented dungaree-style buckles, the dress perfectly encapsulated Rousteing’s signature fusion of high fashion and edgy detail. The sparkle from the sequins was balanced by the structured design, giving Caitriona a modern yet timeless red carpet moment.
However, as much as I adored the overall aesthetic, I found myself slightly distracted by the patch pockets on the dress. While they added a touch of cohesive utility to the buckles, I couldn’t help but feel they didn’t serve much of a purpose. That being said, they didn’t detract enough to overshadow the brilliance of the ensemble.
Caitriona’s simplicity of her hair and makeup allowed her natural beauty to shine through, a smart move that added an effortless touch to the high-voltage glamour of the gown.
