An actor’s ability to dominate the fashion world isn’t always a given. If not for the right stylist, a keen eye and an unwavering sense of self, it’s easy to get lost in the chaos of the red carpets and flashing cameras. For Emma D’Arcy, however, that hasn’t been the case.
After making an immediate name for themselves as the blonde-haired, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in the Game Of Thrones prequel, House Of The Dragon, it wasn’t long before a global fascination took hold. Of course, with a certain level of fame comes a certain expectation to be publicly accessible, which is a new reality D’Arcy admits they aren’t always comfortable with.
“The red carpet especially is a very unnatural environment,” they told W Magazine. “It’s not normal to have that much attention focused on you—and it’s a lot of cameras if you’re camera-shy.”
It makes sense then that their stylist, Rose Forde, later told Vogue that D’Arcy enjoys playing with costuming, leaning into high-drama, performative looks (which once included clown makeup).
“Emma likes to play with the idea of costume and the performative element of clothes and we tend to lean towards having either high drama or finding a character to explore in a look.”
Below, Emma D’Arcy’s best fashion moments so far (with many more expected to follow).
Arriving at the Haider Ackermann + FILA show in November 2022, Manchester.
Sitting front row for the show, D’Arcy arrived in a white sweatshirt, satin track pants and Asics sneakers (Awake x Gel Preleus to be exact).

Fiery red hair was the perfect compliment to an all-leather ensemble on the red carpet, where the Matrix aesthetic met biker chic, courtesy of Alexander McQueen. A pair of metal-capped, black boots peeped out underneath their wide-leg leather pants, with antique silver jewellery and a belt tying everything together.

Serving a major lesson in chic comfortability, the actor sported an oversized denim shirt, grey oversized chinos once again, their trusted Asics sneakers.

Donning a custom look from Acne Studio’s Spring ’23 Collection, a gold lurex vest was likened to “armour” by D’Arcy when they spoke to W Magazine about the meaning behind the ensemble.
Drawn in by the brand’s “playful theatricality,” the vest possessed the ability to look like chainmail from a distance, but up close displayed softer, tinsel-like qualities that added an entirely new level of dimension. Underneath, an oversized white shirt hung loosely, while a pair of black vinyl pants from Acne Studio’s Spring ’23 Menswear collection were more fitted. A pair of patent, dark blue Roker ‘Lea‘ platform heels and beaded Acne Studios gloves offered an added layer of edginess, while pearl jewellery handmade in Tokyo offered a softer element.

This all-black, oversized ensemble came courtesy of Vetements, paired with Balenciaga platform Crocs in stark white.
“I wanted the clothes to feel like full armour, so that’s what we did,” the actor told GQ. “The Vetements look was boiling, but there’s something about all that fabric felt like a barrier.”
