Celebrate 'Game of Thrones' Season 5 Premiere With Emilia Clarke's Top Beauty Moments

Daenerys Targaryen's beauty game is pretty unparalleled in the Seven Kingdoms — after all, who else has that ultra high impact platinum hair paired with Cara Delevingne-level brows? It's a winning look, to be sure — and even though Emilia Clarke is usually sans silver hair in real life (she made an exception for her first Vogue UK cover), she still has a pretty enviable portfolio of beauty looks as well. Whether it's copper eyeshadow paired with bright berry pink lipstick, or a simple eye and lip that let her brows do the talking, Ms. Clarke's makeup looks are always top shelf. So, in honor of Sunday's Game of Thrones premiere, let's take a look at some of her best moments!

The neutral eyeshadow keeps things gorgeously soft-focused, and the berry lip is the perfect combination of bright and subtle.

Nothing quite like bold brows paired with a bold lip.

One of my favorite looks, in part because it’s so easy to dress up or dress down: All you need is a nude shimmery eyeshadow and a berry tinted lip balm —oh, and some major brow pencil.

Her natural look and long, loose waves are definitely Khaleesi-approved.

There’s no denying the fact that Emilia really wears neutrals well.

The lighting and her eyeshadow is so dramatic — Margaret Keane painting, anyone?

She doesn’t usually go for the full-on black liner, but this is pretty spectacular — and it’s a nice nod to that year’s punk theme.

Emilia usually tends towards pink or berry lips, but when she wears red, she knocks it straight out of the park.

Maybe it’s all the neutrals, but there’s something very Daenerys about this.

Her dress choice for the evening was suspect, but her makeup choice was on point.

I think we should all track down this particular shade of lipstick and wear it every day for the rest of our lives.

So much pretty in one person (and she should wear pink lip gloss more often).
