Emilia Clarke was the belle of the ball at Thursday evening’s Vogue World Show at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.
The Game Of Thrones star dazzled in a black gown as she arrived at fashion’s big night out in the West End.
Emilia looked chic in a lace-trimmed black tulle gown, which featured quirky cut-out detail on the chest.
She added a pop of colour with her bright red lipstick and carried a white handbag.
The finishing touch was a smattering of diamonds.

Billed as a ‘multi-act celebration of the British performing arts’, the glittering one-off extravaganza, which kickstarts London Fashion Week, saw Sienna Miller, Rita Ora, Jodie Turner Smith and Winnie Harlow hit the red carpet – while Victoria Beckham slipped in through the back entrance.
Thursday’s event will serve as a fundraiser for Britain’s performing arts industry, with Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour overseeing proceedings.
The first Vogue World event featured a fashion show and street fair when it took place in New York’s meatpacking district in 2021, but the London ceremony is expected to be a grander affair.
The dress code was Opening Night, with the invitation revealed a West End stage decorated with by blood-red velvet curtains.
Masterminded by BAFTA and Olivier-winning director Stephen Daldry, show director Emily Burns, and creative producer Fran Miller, along with the Vogue team, the evening featured a vast array of performing arts.
Guests watched opera and ballet and theatre at the event which sits at the start of London Fashion Week and acts to unveil and showcase talent.
Contributing designers for the guests and performers included 16Arlington, Ahluwalia, Burberry, Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY, Erdem, Maison Margiela, and SS Daley, among many other fashion giants.
Wintour previously claimed the performing arts industry is ‘under threat” meaning all proceeds from ticket sales will go to a range of theatre companies – among them the National Theatre, Royal Opera House and the Royal Ballet.
