If you speak to stars Sam Heughan, Caitriona Balfe, Sophie Skelton or Richard Rankin, these actors will be the first Outlander cast members to heap praise on the makeup and hair departments that help make their portrayals so realistic. And they wouldn’t be alone in handing out the accolades. In addition to all of the core Outlander actors, the series’ costume design team, headed by Terry Dresbach, has twice been nominated for an Emmy for its period costume designs. It was also nominated for set design for its second season when the show moved from Scotland to Louis XV’s sumptuous court at Versailles. As Outlander is gearing up to release Season 6, in which Scotland will once again double as western North Carolina, we have put together a gallery that compares the entire core Outlander actors in their 18th century getups to what the actors look like in modern life. Take a look. A few cast members you may not even recognize, but some are very much the same! Want more Jamie Fraser? What we learned about Sam Heughan from his book Clanlands.
