In the second season of Starz TV adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books, the time-tossed WWII combat nurse 'Claire Randall' (Caitriona Balfe) and her Scottish Highlands love 'Jamie Fraser' (Sam Heughan) head across the channel to the aristocratic and fashionable 18th century French Court of Paris.

When husband and wife
'Jamie and Claire Fraser travel from
Scotland to infiltrate high society
Paris, we get to see our heroine out of tartan and wearing some fabulous gowns like the ones on display at this exhibit.

During the second season
Jamie Fraser may sport finer silk outfits to fit into
Parisian culture, but
Sam Heughan still looks pretty fine when he's wearing his tartan kilts and leather frock coat.
For
Claire, the only problem with traveling through time is not only do you have to juggle multiple husbands, but you also have to wear era appropriate wardrobe too.

Fans of these period outfits can also check out more
costumes from Outlander's first season on display at
The Grove shopping mall last year.

In the sophomore season
Claire Fraser also meets another time-traveller in the form of
'Master Raymond', an apothecary in
Paris in 1744. Each panel of his coat is dedicated to a different disease.

Only time will tell whether
Outlander's costumes can win an
Emmy award this September.
