10 Looks From 'Game of Thrones' Star Emilia Clarke That Prove She Has Full Claim to the Red Carpet Crown
You don't even have to be a die-hard Game of Thrones fan to fully appreciate the beauty, grace, and fabulous fashion sense of its mother of dragons, Emilia Clarke. The British actress — who burst onto the scene in 2011 in the HBO hit series — may be tiny, but she packs a big punch when it comes to red carpet style, a fact she's proven again and again during her short time in the spotlight. Want to see for yourself? Just take a look at 10 of the birthday girl's best red carpet looks from the past three years.
2012 SAG Awards
Channeling some of the GoT drama into her first big red-carpet appearance, Clarke made quite the first impression in a shredded-tulle Chanel gown that got a little extra boost from its gem-encrusted waistband and severely structured shoulders that even Dany would envy.
2012 Primetime Emmy Awards
Wearing Chanel (again), Clarke changed style gears for her walk down the Emmys red carpet, choosing a peek-a-boo gown whose violet, Tyrell-style embroidery and full, white skirt gave the actress an instant, high-fashion edge.
2013 amFAR New York Gala
Just when everyone was starting to think the up-and-coming actress was Chanel-exclusive on the red carpet, she showed up to the amFAR gala in this exquisite, plunging, horse-heart-red gown from designer Zac Posen, proving she could do sophisticated glamour just as well as chic couture.
'Game of Thrones' Season 3 Premiere
With its strapless cut, hourglass shape, and rich blue hue, Clarke’s Victoria Beckham gown made the actress look svelte and statuesque in a snap.
2013 Actor's Fund Gala
Even Clarke’s most classic looks take on a bit of edgy glamour, like this strapless, midi-length Christian Dior dress that featured a metallic belt and all-over crystal embroidery.
2013 Met Gala
Looking like the timeless beauty she is, the actress stunned in a radiantly red, satin Ralph Lauren gown that looked polished and romantic thanks to its ruched, sweetheart-neckline bodice and classic column skirt. Good thing Melisandre wasn’t there — she’d have stolen this crimson frock in a flash.
2013 Toronto International Film Festival
With porcelain skin and super-dark locks, Clarke can pull off almost any color in the book. But she looked exceptionally exquisite in this yellow, draped Vivienne Westwood number, which she paired with a pretty pink lip and sleek, center-part bun.
2013 Emmy Awards After-Party
The actress looked positively ethereal in a cream Donna Karen Atelier creation at the 2013 Emmy Awards. Contrasting the delicate, folded-fabric detailing with a structured, metallic silver belt, Clark struck the perfect balance between bold and sweet.
2014 Golden Globes
Clark brought out her inner bombshell at this year’s Golden Globe Awards, showing up in a strapless, peplum-waist gown from Proenza Schouler that highlighted both her envious curves and her effortless sense of style.
2014 SAG Awards
From its beaded detailing and liquid, one-shouldered silhouette, nothing could have made this Calvin Klein creation look more gorgeous or tailor-made for the glamorous Clarke.
