Long before she became a red-carpet regular, Game of Thrones breakout star Maisie Williams was already showing early signs of her fashion potential.
Best known at the time for playing the fearless Arya Stark—a character who often disguised herself as a boy—Williams surprised fans with a refreshingly feminine look at a 2013 press conference in Warsaw, Poland.

Dressed in a green cowl-neck dress cinched with a utilitarian belt and accented by a bold gold cuff, the then-16-year-old actress offered a striking contrast to her rugged on-screen persona.
