Not even a debilitating foot injury could keep Emilia Clarke from looking her best at a movie premiere!
While promoting Terminator Genisys in 2015, the then 28-year-old actress used crutches for a mysterious injury. Despite this, Emilia attended the Berlin premiere of the highly anticipated film in towering stiletto sandals!

Would you wear heels after suffering a foot injury? We understand the need to be fashionable, but we hope Emilia didn’t further damage her feet.
While we weren’t able to find her exact pair of Balenciaga sandals, we found a similar style from the brand at Nordstrom that features more sensible heels.
