She may be as fierce as she is in Game Of Thrones, but Emilia Clarke has left her dragons behind in a stunning new photo shoot.

In the emotive magazine spread, the 26-year-old pieces together who exactly she is through fashion while on a dreamlike road trip.

While looking amazing in the Vs. Magazine feature, the British actress has opened up about her own insecurities.

Who's that girl: Emilia Clarke shines in a new photo shoot for Vs. Magazine

The Game Of Thrones star told the magazine she avoids reading things about herself: 'If you come out of the doctor’s and they tell you that you have an ailment, never Google it. I believe searching yourself comes under the same bracket. It will only end in tears.'

While the star plays someone who is tough enough to deal with dragons, the British star says she is not beyond have a cry at harsh criticism.

'Playing feisty hard-hitting women gives me a chance to be everything I’m not. No, I’m not fishing for compliments.'

Natural beauty: Most people are used to seeing the 26-year-old as a blonde as she is in Game Of Thrones, but she is naturally brunette

Quick getaway: The star appears to be on the run through the back streets of Los Angeles and its desert outskirts

In disguise: Playfully referencing the fact she has shed the platinum blonde of the character, the beauty makes her escape by wearing a host of sexy ensembles and a very bad blonde wig

Speaking of compliments, the actress - who plays a Khaleesi named Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones - was just named number one in AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women on 2014 that saw more than one million votes.

And it is not hard to see why in the new Vs. shoot, which taking inspiration from the amnesia movie Momento, the star appears to be on the run through while trying to work out her identity the back streets of Los Angeles and its desert outskirts.

Playfully referencing the fact she has shed the platinum blonde of the character, the natural brunette makes her escape by wearing a host of sexy ensembles and a very bad blonde wig.

Being an icon: Emilia at one point does try to channel Marilyn Monroe wearing the short platinum wig and pouting in Polaroids

Reluctant stunner: Despite being named the world's most desired woman, the British actress will not Google herself fearing she will read negative things

In the massive spread, Emilia at one point does try to channel Marilyn Monroe wearing the short platinum wig and pouting in Polaroids.

In the shoot, the stunner makes the transition from cocktail dresses to edgy leather ensembles seamlessly, and is not doubt hoping she will able to do the same thing in her acting.

This is because Emilia will soon leave her Mother of Dragons character behind briefly to play the iconic Sarah Connor from Terminator.

Urban cowgirl: For the shoot Emilia was dressed in a stylish mix of fabrics and couture including this leather fringed one shouldered dress

Glamor girl: The large fashion spread saw Emilia wear everything from leather to fur to girl cocktail dresses

Emilia said: 'I have an older brother. I definitely watched it as I was growing up. The first time I was way too young, maybe eight or nine.

'But then when I watched it again, I remember being engrossed in her story and thinking it’s very much about the girl.'

A chance to to be an action star has also got the British beauty excited.

'I love playing a character that has a skill set that I don’t have, so I have to learn.

'I think this is one of the best things about being an actress - to come away with so much more knowledge of various aspects of different careers.

'I’m going to be awesome at wielding weapons, driving fast cars and generally being bad-ass. I’ll be hanging out with Terminators and whatnots, introducing them to flat whites and generally chilling,' she said jokingly.
While many fear that Terminator has lost its way since the departure of popular director James Cameron, Emilia is more that confident Terminator: Genesis will be great.

'I’m not worried because Megan and David Ellison, who have bought the rights, are geniuses. Alan Taylor is directing Terminator: Genesis and he’s my man. He was with me throughout Game of Thrones series 1 and 2 and so the rapport is already there.

On a road to nowhere? The star made a journey across Los Angeles and across fashion styles for the shoot

On the map: Emilia has come a long way since the role of the Mother of Dragons on Game of Thrones catapulted her onto Hollywood's radar

'It doesn’t seem big and scary. It seems exciting.'

Emilia has certainly come a long way from the terrible advertising commercials that she could not land at 19.

'There was this one for a deodorant and they were going to play a song that I had to dance to. It was a particularly sordid song, and I looked around the room as I walked in and thought, ''Am I being pranked?'''

Fur real: In one shot the brunette donned a stunning red fur jacket with a white bandeau top
