Emilia Clarke is used to playing the sensual - and often naked - Daenerys Targaryen in HBO's hit series Game Of Thrones.

So unleashing her inner temptress for a provocative and very revealing spread in Violet Grey was no huge stretch for the 29-year-old English actress.

Emilia doffed the clothes and posed topless in one sultry black-and-white snap that shows her with arms crossed to protect her modesty while giving the viewer a smoky-eyed gaze over bare shoulder.

The ends of her dampened dark hair reached the middle of her shoulder blades, the contours of her back exposed.

Another photo saw Emilia sprawled on the floor in a relaxed, post-party slump, and clad in a Disaya dress with embellished detailing and matching coat tossed upon a nearby chair.

One elbow rested on the plushly upholstered chair cushion as her manicured hand rested on the crown of her head in a sort of luxurious after-party glow.

A close-up photo displayed Emilia at her most sultry with heavily made-up eyes, darkened brows and a natural pout.

And peeking from beneath an elaborate ring, a small and very real tattoo could be detected.

'It’s a bumblebee, which is symbolic to my character in Me Before You. I had the best time working on the film and I wanted to remember it forever,' Emilia said of the distinctive inking.

Brunette beauty: Emilia reveals that she once dyed her hair at age 14, saying, 'I thought I would add in some redder highlights... Instead of getting a richer brown I just turned my hair red. I wouldn’t do that again'

Emilia delves into her inner vixen for a shot that sees her wearing a plunging J. Mendel midnight-blue sequin gown, her cleavage accessorised with pendant necklaces.

She wore the dress while posing for a black-and-white photo that showed her leaning somewhat forlornly against the post on the front porch.

If the surroundings looked at all familiar it's because the shoot took place at the Beverly Hills estate belonging to Robert Evans, the now larger-than-life producer of such iconic films as Love Story and The Godfather.

Thinking about... a bath? Emilia gushed about one thing that makes her go weak in the knees, telling Violet Grey, 'Bathtime is a ritual'

Emilia got to meet the now 85-year-old legendary lothario, telling Violet Grey: 'He was quite the charmer. He assured me it wasn’t the last time I would be in that house.'

One monochrome frame shows the actress relaxing on the couch with Evans, who is wearing his customary white bathrobe, while another kindly gentleman in waistcoat and tie sits between them holding a bowl of white roses.

The remaining pictures allow Emilia to exude high levels of glamour mixed with sensual undercurrents.

In the accompanying interview, the naturally brunette star - who wears a long white-blonde wig in Game Of Thrones - discussed the 'interesting episode at age 14' and only time she ever dyed her locks.

'I thought I would add in some redder highlights and make it richer,' Emilia said, adding: 'Instead of getting a richer brown I just turned my hair red. I wouldn’t do that again.'

Like her character on Game Of Thrones, she does enjoy a steamy warm bath from time to time.

'Bathtime is a ritual,' Emilia gushed. 'You’ve got to get the right temperature, you must have good bath salts or Epsom salts and dissolve them properly, and you need bath oils to get some scents going. I don’t do bubble bath - it makes me feel too much like a kid. I have to soak for at least half an hour.

'If I had time I could be in that bath for three hours, although me having three hours to take a bath is like finding a leprechaun at the end of the rainbow.'
