Laoghaire From Outlander Couldn't Be More Stunning In Real Life

On-screen, there's something slightly terrifying about Laoghaire, the "Outlander" villain portrayed by actor Nell Hudson. Laoghaire is a period drama stalker, obsessed with Jamie and with eliminating Claire as her romantic rival. When Hudson embodies the character, she can be creepy and uncanny. "There's something very bunny-boiler-ish about that smile," joked one Reddit user.

But, like Ma from Netflix's "Little House on the Prairie," who couldn't be more stunning in real life, Hudson transforms when she's off-screen and out of her historical drama wardrobe. In real life, she has a timeless, ethereal beauty that's far more inviting. "I love her eyes and facial expressions," wrote one Reddit user. "For me, she's up there with Scarlett Johansson in terms of seductiveness."

Hudson has the kind of doe eyes and high cheekbones that fit perfectly into the historical period drama of "Outlander." In fact, even Hudson herself described her beauty as old fashioned. "I have an old fashioned face and have a huge overbite and I think it makes me look like I'm from the past somehow," Hudson told Hello! Magazine.

Though she is devoted to her beauty rituals now, Nell Hudson explained that she mostly learned about glamour and self-care while on set. "My mother was very intellectual and not one of these mothers that taught me how to look after my skin and hair and all that sort of thing. I'm very grateful for her but she wasn't that type of mum," she told Hello! Magazine. "So I kind of learned how to look after my skin and my hair from being an actor and from being on set. That was my education."

Now, as an adult, Hudson is extremely thoughtful about how she cares for her face, especially since she's dealt with rosacea for most of her life. She doesn't skip sunscreen, which is one of the best ways to prevent wrinkles according to our expert. While she's no stranger to a little Botox, she's also committed to maintaining the natural expressiveness in her face [timestamp 00:17]. In her own way, she's trying to resist the intense Hollywood pressure to appear ageless, making her one of the celebrities who are confronting aging with confidence. "No one ever explicitly tells you, as a woman, that you have to look a certain way. It's just, sort of, implied," she explained to Happiful. "I follow a lot of body-positive accounts on Instagram that are just little reminders for me that I am more than my body. I'm more than that."
