Emilia Clarke Emmy Watch: See ‘Game of Thrones’ Star’s Best Red Carpet Gowns [SLIDESHOW]
It won't be for a few more months, but Emmys anticipation is running high. Emilia Clarke, nominated for her "Game of Thrones" role as Daenerys Targaryen, has a lot of eyes watching out for her Primetime Emmys red carpet gown.
The British actress has a great track record as far as red carpet gowns go. Here are four of Emilia Clarke's best dresses, starting with a dress from her fellow Brit, Victoria Beckham.
In March 2013, Emilia Clarke's "Game of Thrones" Los Angeles premiere dress was a winner! The 26-year-old picked such a simple silhouette in such a high-impact color. Emilia's strapless, mermaid hem dress was a gorgeous shade of blue. Contrasting black trim was the only adornment on the sleek dress. Emilia's clean hairstyle, black clutch, and single bracelet added to her minimalist attire.
Next on the list of Emilia Clarke's best red carpet gown is her ravishing red dress for the 2013 Met Gala, themed "Punk: Chaos to Couture." Emilia combined "pretty" and "punk" with her ruched bodice, sweetheart neckline Ralph Lauren gown. The long gown had a sweeping train, which made for dramatic red carpet poses. Emilia's concession to the theme was the large Fred Leighton cross earring, which she revealed via her side-swept hairstyle.
Fashion designer and "Project Runway" judge Zac Posen is a master of lush, feminine, red carpet-worthy gowns. No wonder Emilia Clarke wore one of his creations to the amfAR New York Gala in February 2013. Emilia looked breathtaking in the plunging neckline, maroon gown. An aubergine sash added another richly colored layer to her attire. Jewelry choice is also one of Emilia's strengths as her emerald drop earrings made for a perfect finishing touch.
Emilia Clarke's best red carpet dress bodes well for what's in store for the actress at this year's Emmy Awards. It was at the 2012 Emmys where Emilia made style watchers take notice. She looked stunning in a Chanel dress. The white number was not a conventional red carpet gown. The sleeveless dress had violet floral embroidery. A central split on the full over-skirt showed off more of that beautiful embroidery. Emilia Clarke's nude heels and voluminous hairstyle complemented her dress perfectly.
