She's got some front! Emilia Clarke takes the plunge in semi-sheer lace dress at photography opening in LA

She's hunted Terminators and is the Mother Of Dragons.

But on Thursday evening, Emilia Clarke was the queen of the red carpet as she attended the REFUGEE Exhibit at Annenberg Space For Photography in Los Angeles.

The 29-year-old looked fabulous in a plunging semi-sheer lace dress as she showed off her glowing complexion.

The Game Of Thrones star displayed her trim waist in the frock, which went completely sheer around her midriff.

She was joined at the exhibit by fellow celebs Kristen Bell, Amy Adams and Rashida Jones.

The actress, who also plays Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, recently opened up to Comingsoon.net about her possible involvement in any future Terminator movies.

Emilia did not mince words when asked if she would possibly reprise her role as Sarah Connor.

'No. Can I say that? It's okay. No. Uh-uh. But I have some very different roles coming up.'

While she's obviously most famous for her portrayal of the dragon queen in HBO's hit Game of Thrones, it was recently revealed by producers that the series would probably end after season eight.

Luckily it seems the talented star has lots of other projects lined up for her fans.

She told the website that she was particularly excited about her role in the upcoming drama Me Before You.

'I read the book and it was just the most beautiful thing I had ever read,' she said, before recounting a somewhat humorous anecdote about her discovery of the tome.

No smiles here: Emilia went on to point out how much the role differs from her icy Game of Thrones character

'I was shooting Terminator at the time and had a rocket launcher in my hand while crying like a little girl. I felt like the author, Jojo Moyes, had found a part of me and just wrote it down. I knew that I just had to play the role.'

The book details the relationship between a woman and a young paralyzed man she's been hired to care for.

Emilia went on to point out how much the role differs from her icy Game of Thrones character.

'Khaleesi doesn’t laugh. She doesn’t smile. She’s really serious. She takes her work very seriously. This role is the complete opposite. It’s affecting, but it’s a comedy as well. There’s some very funny moments in it… It’s a simple love story that talks about people’s rights.'

She plays the love interest, who has not just one but two men vying for her attention, in romantic comedy Cuban Fury.

And Rashida Jones showed exactly why she was picked for the part as she made a stunning red carpet arrival at the premiere held at The Vue, Leicester Square on Thursday evening.

The 37-year-old actress made sure she didn’t go unnoticed in her very bright frock, revealing her long and toned legs - no doubt a result of all the salsa dancing she does in the film she stars in alongside Nick Frost.

Bright and breezy: Rashida Jones looked amazing at the premiere of Cuban Fury in London on Thursday evening

The American star, who is known for her role in The Office, wore a dress printed with the image of a woman’s face with a colourful swirled pattern surrounding it.

The loose-fitting dress showed off her tan perfectly and she added a further pop of colour with her almost neon orange heels.

Rashida wore her hair loose around her face with her fringe slightly parted - falling just above her hazel coloured eyes.

Leading men: Nick Frost (L) conceived the film and also takes on the lead, while Chris O'Dowd (R) plays his love rival

Setting the scene: An impressive troupe of salsa dancers brightened up the red carpet

Fortunately for the pretty star, who plays Julia in the film and her co-stars they were able to escape the terrible weather.

Discussing the film at the premiere she said: ‘It's a good one for Valentine's Day because I think both genders will be equally happy by what they see.

‘Guys won't feel it's too girlie and they got dragged, and girls won't feel there's too much action and they have to close their eyes.’

She was joined by Nick Frost who takes the lead, Bruce, in the film, as well as coming up with the plot which centres on him trying to impress his new boss Julia played by Rashida.

When he discovers she is also a secret salsa lover, he decides to once again take up dance – after being a child prodigy who let himself go a bit.

Golden gal: Olivia, who plays Bruce's sister in the film, wore a skintight gold dress while Ian McShane (R) plays his teacher

Let's dance: Dancers lit up the red carpet - entertaining the waiting fans

He enlists the help of his former dance teacher, played by Ian McShane, in order to win his boss’s heart.

Things don’t run entirely smoothly though as he is forced to compete for Julia’s affection with his less than charming colleague Chris O’Dowd.

The film also stars Olivia Colman, who plays Bruce’s sister and former dance partner.

The Peep Show actress looked sensational at the premiere wearing a skintight gold dress which fell to the middle of her calves.

Very fun: Paloma Faith opted for floral dress with a pink coat and fun platform heels

Dancing boy: Nick plays a former dance protege who tries to pick up his skills again

The 40-year-old wore her hair off her face in stylish chignon, and she wore a pair of black heels to finish her ensemble.

Star of the evening Nick looked in very high spirits as he walked the red carpet alongside a troupe of salsa dancers.

The charismatic actor wore a fun pin stripe suit, with red tie while his love interest in the film - Chris - wore a far simpler suit.

Rain, rain go away: Paloma looked super chic with her fancy floral umbrella

Nick revealed he came up with the idea for new dance comedy to make amends for not dancing with his wife at their wedding.

Speaking at the premiere he confessed: ‘I have a funny relationship with dancing, in that I kind of like doing it but I don't like anyone watching me do it.

‘I messed my wedding up by not wanting to dance with my wife in front of everyone and I kind of felt like this was a way for me to say sorry and to make amends, and to get over that fear.’

Dancing king: In the film Nick starts dancing again to win the heart of his boss

It's black and white: Ophelia Lovibond (L) opted for a white dress, while one-time WAG Lizzie Cundy went for a black ensemble

Suited and booted: There was no way Simon would have missed his close pal's premiere

But he admitted he is yet to give his wife their first dance.

‘She doesn't salsa and I tried to teach her a little bit when we were doing the training, but she's a Swedish lady and she doesn't like to be led by a man,’ he said.

And the British star of comedies Spaced and Hot Fuzz, admitted he was still wary about dancing.

He said: ‘The risk with a dance film is you run the danger of getting what I call John Travolta syndrome, where people just ask you to dance in everything.’

Stylish shirt: Lake Bell, who is currently filming in London with Simon Pegg, was on hand to support Nick

Co-stars: A very skinny Simon Pegg cosied up with Lake Bell - they are currently filming Man Up

Chris meanwhile revealed he used the steps he learned at his wedding to Dirty Dancing fanatic Dawn O'Porter.

‘I'm a massive Dirty Dancing fan too, and I tried to incorporate some of the salsa training into our first wedding dance, which was nice.’

Pirates Of The Caribbean star Ian revealed that Nick had asked him to join the project when they starred together as two of the dwarves in Hollywood blockbuster Snow White And The Huntsman.

The 71-year-old actor said: ‘When Nick told me the part he said 'Ron Parfitt, salsa dancer'. I said, 'You had me at Ron!'.’

Cuban Fury is due to be released in UK cinemas on February 14th - Valentine's Day.

From flattering to frumpy: Rihanna swaps trendy street wear for shapeless silver dress and stockings as she steps out at Fashion Week runway show

She usually impresses in her choice of casual but uber trendy streetwear.

And Sunday morning was no different for Rihanna who stepped out looking stylish in New York in a letterman jacket, denim shorts, trainers and sunglasses.

Unfortunately, her efforts to glam up later didn't go quite as well.

Fashion fail: Rihanna's look for the Opening Ceremony show wasn't quite up to her usual standards as she wore a frumpy tea dress with clumpy 'creeper' shoes in New York on Sunday

Casual class to dressed up faux pas: Rihanna looked trendy in her letterman jacket, cropped denim shorts and trainers earlier in New York on Sunday before looking a little frumpy at the opening ceremony of New York Fashion Week

Flashing the flesh: Rihanna's ensemble seemed less demure when she sat down, showing off the tops of her stockings

The star stepped out in a rather ill-fitting silver dress, unwisely teamed with clumpy black shoes and spotted black stockings.

An oversized black choker, and her new 'mullet-style' hairpiece completed the look as she arrived at the New York Fashion Week show for the Opening Ceremony clothing brand.

The 25-year-old star's outfit looked a little less demure when she took her seat in the front row, with her dress riding up to reveal the tops of her stockings.

Bosom buddies: Rihanna and her friend Melissa Forde are inseparable, they do everything together and often wear the same clothes

Rihanna joined the likes of Justin Bieber, Miguel and Rashida Jones to see the collection, alongside her friend Melissa Forde.

Rashida looked pretty in a sleeveless black and pink patterned top teamed with a green, black and white patterned skirt, pink high heels and matching lipstick.

Bieber, meanwhile, stuck to his tried and trusted casual style in a white T-shirt, gold chunky necklace and backwards baseball cap.

The pint-sized star rubbed shoulders with Opening Ceremony's design team Humberto Leon and Carol Lim after the show, which saw models stroll down a 'road' catwalk among carefully placed cars.

Miguel, meanwhile, opted for a more daring ensemble, sporting a white short with a heart pattern and what appeared to be denim shorts worn over trousers and boots.

Street smarts: Rihanna showed off her toned legs in the short denim shorts during a shopping trip in Manhattan earlier that day

Shop til I drop: The Umbrella singer carried a gold bag of goodies, while her assistant joined her also toting a shopping bag

This was the second fashion-related event Rihanna has attended in so many days.

On Saturday night, she arrived at Alexander Wang's after-party, showing off her new mullet hairdo in a self-proclaimed 'goth-ghetto' look.

Her appearance sent the rumour mill into overdrive after she was led directly to rumoured new beau rappy A$AP Rocky, who was hanging out in the VIP section behind the stage with his entourage.

A source told the New York Post: 'Rihanna went right to him. They were talking really close. Bodyguards were stationed all around them so that no one could get pictures.'

Clashing patterns: Rashida Jones looked pretty in a sleeveless black top and floral skirt

According to further unconfirmed reports, Rihanna was spotted leaving A$AP Rocky’s hotel in Chelsea on Thursday morning.

Rocky has reportedly been dating model Chanel Iman, who walked in the Cushnie et Ochs show at Fashion Week.

The star may have had more of a vested interest in this year's fashion week as, for the first time, Adam Selman, Rihanna's costume designer debuted his first ready-to-wear label on Thursday night.

Star studded: Rashida seemed to be looking forward to the runway show while actor Jason Schwartzman wore a striped shirt and suit jacket

Channelling Rihanna: Model Leigh Lezark wore a risqué sheer ensemble with her modesty just protected by embroidery

And Rihanna is not going to be in the city for long, so is sure to make the most of her time in The Big Apple.

The Battleship actress is next scheduled to take her Diamonds World Tour to the Cotai Arena in Macau, China on September 13.

Rihanna also just reached four billion views on YouTube, making her the most viewed artist ever. They're in fashion: The models strolled in between carefully placed cars on a 'road' style catwalk
