Just something you’ve Throne on to pop to the shops, Emilia?
€3,100 bomber jacket. €570 ankle boots. Fetching mask...
MOST of us give little thought what we wear on a trip to the corner shop, but when you’re one of the hottest names in Hollywood the fashion stakes are higher – even during a pandemic.
Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke donned a designer outfit worth more than €3,600 when she popped out for some essential supplies near her London home this week.
But the effects of making a fashion statement in her oversized €3,100 Fendi bomber jacket and €570 Saint Laurent Blake suede ankle boots was largely in vain, given that her woollen hat and black face mask rendered the actress almost unrecognisable.
The 33-year-old – worth an estimated €12m thanks to her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the blockbuster TV series – also wore matching brown leather gloves. Given the spring sunshine, her aim was surely to reduce the risk of infection, rather than to keep warm.
It is thought that the actress may be isolating alone after she split from long-term boyfriend Charlie McDowell, an American film director, last year, citing work commitments.
She said last month: ‘I am single right now. Dating in this industry is interesting. I have a lot of funny anecdotes, a lot of stuff I can say at a fun dinner. I was [dating actors] but I’m not now.’
Ms Clarke is also waiting for work to resume. She was due to appear in a new West End production of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, but the show has been postponed because of the coronavirus lockdown.
