Emilia Clarke Wore the Most Epic Khalessi Braid to the Game of Thrones Season 8 Premiere

Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons—that's how most of us came to know actress Emilia Clarke on Game of Thrones. But we should also probably add Master of Red Carpet Beauty to her title.

Seriously, she (and her glam squad) never disappoints, whether it's debuting a new hair color or going all in on dramatic hair and makeup, as she did for the GoT season-eight premiere at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Wednesday night.

Let's start with the hair, complete with an intricate braid that hairstylist Jenny Cho confirmed was a nod to Clarke's most famous character. "EMILIA 🐉. For tonight's look, I wanted to incorporate a braid as a nod to #DaenerysTargaryen, the queen of dragons #khaleesi," Cho captioned an image of the look on Instagram. From the loops and varying braid widths to the sprigs of hair springing forth and visible from the front, it's everything Dany stans could dream of.

The makeup, by Kate Lee, was equally dramatic—with both a bold eye and lip—and fit for a queen.

Lee also shared a shot of the Chanel makeup kit she used to create Clarke's look. She broke down all the products she used in her Instagram. For the strong nineties lip, she combined Chanel Le Crayon Lèvres in Rouge Noir ($31), Chanel Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care ($50), and the darkest shade from Chanel Les 4 Ombres Multi-Effect Quadra Eye Shadow ($62) as a lip powder.

On her eyes Lee relied on Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Mystère et Intensité ($62), Troy Surratt Smoky Eye Baton in Canons de Beauté Burgundy ($35), Chanel Inimitable Mascara in Brun ($32), and Chanel Le Volume Mascara in Ecorces ($32). She also filled in Clarke's beautifully strong brows with Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Miineral Brow Pencil in Brown ($37) and Chantecaille Full Brow Perfecting Gel ($40).

Excuse us while we now try to go re-create this perfect vision for the weekend.
