Outlander fans are feeling conflicted over Jamie and Claire's hair in the final season

As a die-hard Outlander fan who’s been following the series since its inception, I must say that the leaked photos of Jamie and Claire from Season 8 have stirred quite the debate among fans. While I appreciate the effort to make our beloved characters age realistically, I can’t help but feel a tad nostalgic for the younger days of our time-traveling duo.

Over the past few days, photos taken on the set of Outlander‘s eighth and last season have been circulating widely. These leaked images have given fans a glimpse into potential storylines, as well as revealing updated appearances for characters like Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitriona Balfe).

Of course, since the conclusion of Season 7, it’s only natural that their appearance has changed due to the passage of time. However, these alterations, noticeable in their hairstyles, makeup, and costumes, have left some viewers feeling less enthusiastic about the changes.

What fans are saying about Jamie and Claire’s transformation in Season 8—especially Jamie

Throughout the changing seasons, I find Claire’s transformation to be consistently stunning and graceful. She truly embodies a unique charm that allows her to age exceptionally well. Even in the recently leaked images from Season 8, she continues to exude this beauty.

In the final season, I found myself marveling at a change in Jamie’s appearance – instead of his signature pulled-back and tied ponytail, his mane was now loose and untamed. It flowed freely without any restraint, a stark contrast to how it used to be held back before.

Reddit users were swift in expressing their reactions and feelings towards these alterations. One enthusiast commented, “Wow, Jamie’s half ponytail is really touching my heart,” but they also added, “I genuinely appreciate Caitriona and Claire is fantastic, but why do her changes make her look like a school teacher? I don’t mind the white hair, it symbolizes power, but does she have to appear old enough to be Jamie’s mom? Once this is over, we should find out more about the wigs.”

Other fans stated they loved Claire’s hair, and were adamant about embracing old age.

It appears that many viewers believe Claire is being portrayed as overly old and resembling Jamie’s mother rather than his wife. Some speculate that the extensive graying of her wig might be excessive, but it’s unlikely to detract significantly from or spoil the narrative in any way.

Additionally, let’s keep in mind that these images have been leaked and their context remains unclear. It’s uncertain if there’s a misunderstanding about the storyline or if it’s an error from the makeup team. Regardless, I believe the overall quality of the final season will hinge on various factors beyond just the hairstyles.

Tune in to watch the premiere of Outlander Season 7, Part 2 on November 22nd on STARZ.
