From wild warrior to stunning chic... Rose scrubs up well
SHE shot to international fame as the uncouth and feisty wildling Ygritte in Game of Thrones.
But Rose Leslie looked as far away as possible from the fur-clad warrior on Wednesday night as she showed off her chic summer style at the Sky Box Sets Club launch.
Arriving at trendy venue 30 Pavilion Road alongside a host of famous faces, the 29-year-old flaunted her fantastic figure as well as her legs in a flattering mini dress.
Arriving at the event solo – presumably because her boyfriend Kit Harington was performing on-stage at The Duke of York Theatre – the Scottish beauty ensured she kept her sartorial streak on par.
However, the actress clearly feels more comfortable dressed down. After posing for the cameras she wore trainers, comfortable trousers and a shirt to leave the venue.
Miss Leslie, who also appeared in Downton Abbey and Luther, is the daughter of the chieftain of Clan Leslie and grew up in the family’s 16th century Lickleyhead Castle near
‘Child psychology has always been my plan B’
Insch, Aberdeenshire. Last year she said she had a back-up plan if her acting career took a turn for the worse – becoming a child psychologist.
Miss Leslie said: ‘Child psychology has always been my Plan B. There are seven years’ training for that, so it’s something that shouldn’t be done half-heartedly.
‘If this dries up, that is a real passion of mine that I would like to pursue.’
Earlier this month Mr Harington told how he and Miss Leslie fell in love while working on Game of Thrones.
Explaining why filming in Iceland had been one of his favourite parts of the series, he said: ‘Because the country is beautiful, because the Northern Lights are magical, and because it was there that I fell in love.
‘If you’re already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love.’
Miss Leslie is set to appear in two films later this year – Sticky Notes with Ray Liotta and Morgan with Kate Mara.
