Clara Oswald Costume Guides

How to dress like Clara Oswald from Doctor Who.

ABOUT CLARA OSWALD:

Clara Oswald (portrayed by Jenna Coleman) was one of the main companions for both the Eleventh (Matt Smith) and Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi). We first meet Clara in the seventh season of the revamped Doctor Who in the episode “Asylum of the Daleks“. The Eleventh Doctor finds Clara and her team of scavengers trapped on the planet Skaro where they intend to salvage valuable materials from the Dalek homeworld.
