OLIVIA Cooke has posed for Savage X Fenty’s latest campaign.

The House of the Dragon actress – who plays Alicent Hightower in HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel series – has joined forces with Rihanna’s lingerie brand as the face of their October collection.

In profession­al shots shared online, the 28-year-old star can be seen in the Rose maxi slipdress, miniskirts, bras and black lingerie.

Sharing a picture on her own Instagram account, she quipped: “Would jump off a cliff for Rihanna so this felt like a better option.”

And Savage X Fenty added in a campaign post: “Serving bawdy … high in her tower.”

House of the Dragon fans were stunned by the shoot, particular­ly as she made sure to sport her character’s signature green in some of the pictures.

One fan replied: “Ooooooh myyyy I think I’m #TeamAlicen­t now.”

Another follower quipped: “I guess we’re all Team Green now …”

And a third person commented: “Put that GREEN ON, MISS ALICENT! Hightower bringing the HEAT! (sic)”

It’s been a big year for Savage X Fenty, as the brand unveiled plans in August to launch a loungewear category, with the first drop arriving on September 8.

At the time, Rihanna said in a statement: “At the core, Savage X Fenty is about feeling sexy and confident.

“The lounge collection is giving all of that with a chill, laid-back twist.

“I wanted to bring comfort and realness to everyday pieces that can be styled in whatever way lets you do you.”
