Claire Danes adds a little edge to patterned red dress with a black leather biker jacket as she heads to Stephen Colbert appearance
Her signature character on Homeland is currently battling postnatal depression, leaving her constantly on edge.
But luckily for Claire Danes, the only edge she seems to be dealing with has to do with her own personal style.
The 36-year-old actress mixed up her style by adding a black leather biker jacket to a rather dressy look upon her arrival for a taping of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Thursday.

Despite taking the fashion risk, the blonde beauty looked fantastic while making her way to the legendary Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City for the appearance.
Along with the cool jacket, she wore a long, patterned red dress featuring a low-cut neckline as she teamed the look with strappy grey leather stilettos.
She accessorised the look with a large leather clutch, silver bracelet and black lacquer on her fingernails.

The Romeo + Juliet star's straight blonde locks were worn straight down as they blew wildly in the Big Apple wind while heading onto the studio.
Claire let her natural looks show as she opted for more complimentary make-up on her face highlighted by a swipe of pink lip along with dangling earrings.
She was on the late night chat show to promote the fifth season of her Showtime series Homeland, which returns on Sunday.

The talented actress recently discussed what a challenge portraying her character Carrie Mathison has been as the television character suffers from postnatal depression, especially considering that she's mother to a young child herself.
‘It wasn't great, especially when I had a child the same age,’ she said in the November issue of Marie Claire Magazine. ‘And I am far from having murderous feelings about a child, but I know the complexity of what it is to be a mum, even when everything's going well.
‘There is a resistance and there is resentment even if you're not in postpartum agony.’

The American star - who is married to fellow actor Hugh Dancy, with whom she shares three-year-old son Cyrus - described postpartum depression as ‘one of the last remaining taboos.’
Although Claire explained having a strong family network around her as well as being in a great relationship helped shape up her successful career.
‘I can be much more omnivorous and daring in my career if I feel safe,’ she explained. ‘I'm lucky that Hugh and I both want that kind of experience. We are very interested in what it is to be married and we love each other.’
