Emilia Clarke Has Gone Full-On Daenerys Targaryen In Real Life & We’re Obsessed

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan – you’d know that Daenerys Targaryen is one of the biggest characters on the show – and, everyone’s favorite. Not only is she fierce, empowering and strong – she’s also drop-dead gorgeous and stunning. Her long, blonde locks have been her signature Mother of Dragons look for seven seasons straight and every single season – I have to fight off the urge to go to the salon and go full-on blonde bombshell (I did it once, it didn’t turn out well).

While her blonde hair is her signature look on the show – many people neglect to remember that Emilia Clarke – the actress that plays Daenerys – is actually a brunette in real life.

In fact – a lot of people had no idea that Emilia Clarke was a brunette.

And – a lot of people actually prefer her brunette hair to her long, blonde locks.
