Caitríona Balfe’s Custom Prada Is All About the Details

Caitríona Balfe joined her co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones for the Sense and Sensibility LA premiere, held at The United Theater on Wednesday.

The Irish actress wore a custom Prada pearl-grey silk-wool column dress with an embroidered carré extending into a geometric train in black cotton organza, a detail drawn from the Fall 2026 collection.

The column silhouette and fabric are classic Prada, but it’s the embroidered carré cascading into that black train that introduces a romantic element, making this an appropriate choice for a Jane Austen adaptation. I particularly love the contrast between the grey dress and the sheer black overlay.

We could be nitpicky and say the dress needed to be half an inch shorter to avoid that slight break at the hem. We could also question the visible darts, although they’re a familiar Prada detail. But despite those minor issues, Caitríona is selling this look to me.

Stylist: Nicky Yates.
