Emilia Clarke channels Game Of Thrones alter ego Daenerys Targaryen by swapping brunette locks for a platinum wig for Vogue cover shoot
Emilia Clarke has graced the front cover of the May issue of Vogue magazine.
The 28-year-old Londoner was undoubtedly asked to do the honours as the season five premiere of Game Of Thrones is on the horizon.
With that in mind, it's little wonder why the British publication's hair and makeup team decided to style the actress just like her character in the hit show Daenerys Targaryen – aka Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea for the publication.

She was nominated for a 2013 Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, played Jude Law’s daughter in Dom Hemingway (2013) and starred as Holly Golightly on Broadway in Breakfast At Tiffany’s.
This summer she graduates to blockbusters as the female lead in Terminator Genisys alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.
As a mark of just how big a deal she now is on the back of Game Of Thrones, she was also offered the saucy female lead in Fifty Shades Of Grey – a part she declined with ‘no regrets’, saying that she had ‘done nudity before and was concerned with being labelled for doing it again’.

It was never pretending to be a show for kids! It’s gritty in a good, realistic way.’
And, as she jokes, ‘There are other women who remove items of clothing on Game Of Thrones, so they’ve got my nipple count down now.’
That said, she admits that when she started filming the show in 2010 some of the scenes were shocking, including an initiation ritual in which she ate a horse’s heart.
‘It tasted like congealed jam, with a hint of bleach. I did the occasional double-take during season one when I saw the script but now, less so.
'I didn’t watch the first couple of episodes with my parents but now they love it.’
