Before she became a global fashion favorite, Emilia Clarke was already making waves with her red carpet style. Best known as Daenerys Targaryen—or “Khaleesi”—from Game of Thrones, the actress began establishing herself as a style icon early in her career.
One standout moment came during the Game of Thrones panel at Comic-Con in July 2013, where she wowed in a striking red Christopher Kane dress paired with matching Charlotte Olympia “Debbie” pumps. The bold, monochromatic ensemble showcased her sophisticated taste and highlighted how a statement shoe can elevate a red carpet look.
