To celebrate her 37th birthday, we're sharing our favourite outfits from this fashion forward actress

Claudia Kim is the master of monochrome. The Korean actress, who stars in the newest Chimera series and played Nagini in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, is well versed on how to make black, white and other neutral colours look extremely luxe. Of course it has quite a bit to do with her graceful appearance, but she's also got an eye for proportions and the movement of a garment.

She'll often wear a silky suit or a floaty gown on red carpets and to events, and there's just something about black on her fair skin tone that looks so chic. White is also an elegant choice, but when there's a delicate ruffle or a flared trouser involved, it's hard not to admire her fashion choices. 

To celebrate her 37th birthday, we look back at some of her best looks:
