She shared new photos from her Tribeca appearance flaunting her outfit, which she revealed was made completely from sustainable materials, which she dubbed "trashion."

The revealing fit featured her in an asymmetrical top with mixed panels, including a sheer one that showed her black bra underneath, with blue straps running down the sides, paired with black cigarette pants.

The day of, she teased her fans on social media prior to the panel by sharing a look at an outfit that would be right at home in the historical drama.

She was dressed in an elegant and grand blue ball gown, appropriate for the 1700s (the period the show is set in), featuring ruffled half-sleeves, a layered frock, and a structured waist-cinching bodice.

"Maybe I should wear this on Friday," she joked on her Instagram Stories alongside a photo in the gown, although it's safe to say it didn't end up being practical enough to make the cut.

The mom-of-two shared more photos from the Tribeca red carpet previously, posing alongside Outlander's stars, smiling beside them while they sported more serious faces.

"I just don't do enough red carpets to remember I'm not supposed to smile," she joked. "Couldn't help myself as I moderated the panel at the Outlander Premiere at @tribecafilmfestival."
