Game of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke’s Style Is More Fairytale Princess Than Mother of Dragons


As Game of Thrones‘ Daenerys Targaryen, Emilia Clarke is best known for her tumbling blonde hair, draped gowns, and, yes, those dragons. Off-screen the Brit is quite the opposite: a natural brunette, no mystical creatures, et al. And when it comes to her red carpet style, Clarke is much more risk-taking than her admittedly very daring character. Upon emerging in Hollywood, Clarke quickly became a fashion darling, dressed by the best designers in the world, including Altuzarra, Chanel, and Proenza Schouler. The actress has come to be known as quite the style chameleon, trying everything from a caped Valentino gown at the Golden Globes to a form-fitting Vivienne Westwood number at last year’s Emmy Awards. Here, a look at Clarke’s best red carpet moments.
