Caitriona Balfe's Oscars Diary Includes a Valentino Dream Dress and Meeting Cheer's Jerry
Caitriona Balfe is having a very casual week. In the midst of promoting Outlander's upcoming fifth season, the actress managed to find time to attend Sunday's Academy Awards, where her movie Ford v Ferrari had five nominations, including Best Picture. Balfe plays Mollie Miles, wife of professional race car driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) and his fiercest champion. FVF ultimately took home two trophies—Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing—and Balfe herself documented it all exclusively for ELLE.com. From dressing room shenanigans (she wore pink and black Valentino) to a run-in with Cheer star Jerry Harris, peruse Balfe's Oscar diary below, then catch up on all our Outlander coverage before the show returns to Starz on Sunday, February 16.
"Marcus Francis creating the perfect part!"
"Prettiest feet jewelry by Giuseppe Zanotti."
"The wonderful Karla Welch serving it up moments after getting off a plane. (She styled Bieber for SNL the night before!)
"We thought about the scarf accessory—and then we rethought that idea! (Red lip smudge not getting anywhere near that dress.)"
"This blouse was like candy floss heaven."
"The stunning pearl and diamond jewelry by Niwaka. You just gotta have diamonds for the Oscars!"
"The completed look."
"I mean, Jerry! The sweetest, most hard-working member of the Navarro Cheer team…who has basically stolen mine and everyone else’s hearts!"
"Mike [McCusker] and Andrew [Buckland], the two Oscar-winning editors from Ford v Ferrari at the Vanity Fair party. Congratulations gentlemen. (Also, I loved my Prabal Gurung dress I changed into.)"
"The Oscar I went home with! Fits in your bag and tastes delish."
