Back in 2015, Emilia Clarke was already struggling to stay out of the public eye. Even without the long blonde wig she famously wore as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, fans recognized her instantly.
At the time, the 28-year-old actress joked about how she sometimes had to change not only her look but also her voice. Her go-to disguise? A spot-on “Cali from the Valley” accent inspired by Clueless.
Hear Emilia’s playful Valley Girl impression of Cher Horowitz—a movie she called one of her favorites:
The day before Emilia debuted her Valley Girl accent on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she hit the gray carpet at the premiere of Terminator: Genisys at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Emilia mesmerized photographers and attendees in a Rosie Assoulin Fall 2015 gown with a hypnotizing striped pattern.

The pannier skirt and waist cutouts added to the dress’s structured style. Toning down all the sharpness was Emilia’s loosely tied half-updo and soft pink makeup.
While her stunning red carpet gown captivated attention, Emilia Clarke’s subtle bee tattoo, done by Dr. Woo, adds a unique personal detail to her overall fashion statement

Emilia worked the gray carpet with her star power, all right, but like any regular girl, she still had a hard time maneuvering her ball gown in the toilet. See her hilarious behind-the-scenes Instagram photo of her trying to do her business in her striped dress:

Although Emilia Clarke’s shoes weren’t visible on the red carpet, they were identified as Miu Miu. At the time, she was still recovering from a foot injury and occasionally using crutches, making it likely that she opted for a lower-heeled option. A pair of black-and-white Miu Miu sandals would’ve complemented her striped Rosie Assoulin gown perfectly—both stylish and practical.
Still, a foot injury didn’t stop Emilia from stepping out in 5-inch Balenciaga heels previously—so we doubt she’d shy away from the 4-inch Miu Miu slides shown below. The genius of Miu Miu lies in its ability to strike a balance between high-fashion quirk and practical wearability.
