The stars of Outlander were out in force on Friday as they attended the season 7 premiere of the hit show at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
Leading the glamorous arrivals at the BMCC Theater were Caitriona Balfe and Sophie Skelton, who both stunned on the red carpet in gorgeous floor-sweeping gowns.

The 29-year-old's usually dark hair had been dyed blonde and she wore it in a chic updo with minimal makeup, letting her natural, radiant beauty shine.

The on-screen family posed up a storm on the red carpet, where they were joined by their fellow co-stars David Berry, Izzy Meikle-Small, Joey Phillips, Richard Rankin, Charles Vandervaart and John Bell.

Speaking about the impact the drama has had on her life while appearing on the Irish chat show, The Late Late Show, Caitríona said: "It's changed my life.
"I was very late to start acting. I changed my career at 30, which is usually the age when people say, 'You haven't made it, it's over,' and it gave me everything. It's opened so many doors for me.

The new series consists of 16 episodes and will be split into two parts with the first half premiering June 16 and the second half airing in 2024.
© GettyThe story will pick up from the harrowing events of season six, which saw Claire on trial for the murder of Malva Christie while Jamie is en route to save her with the help of Young Ian and John Quincy Myers after being rescued from Richard Brown and his men.
The synopsis continues: "In the seventh season of Outlander, Jamie, Claire, and their family are caught in the violent birth pains of an emerging nation as armies march to war and British institutions crumble in the face of armed rebellion.
"As the conflict draws them out of North Carolina and into the heart of this fight for independence, Jamie, Claire, Brianna, and Roger are faced with impossible decisions that have the potential to tear their family apart."
