Claire Randall Fraser from Outlander Season 2
Claire Randall (played by Caitriona Balfe) is the main protagonist of the Starz series Outlander. Claire travels through time to 1700s Scotland where she meets Jamie Fraser, whom she eventually marries. In Season 2 of the acclaimed series, Claire finds herself in the French Court, where she dons a beautiful red dress and matching earrings and shoes.

It will be nearly impossible to find Claire’s intricate period shoes, so look for heels with a low profile and straps to evoke a similar feel.
