'Game of Thrones' star posts emotional farewell to hit show

Emilia Clarke paid tribute to HBO's 'Game of Thrones' in an emotional farewell Instagram post. Clarke, who stars as Daenerys Targaryen on the hit show, shared an image of herself from one of the filming locations for the final season.

"Game of Thrones" star Emilia Clarke debuted a drastic new look on the Oscars red carpet Sunday night.

Clarke, 32, showed off her roots (literally) ahead of Hollywood's biggest night, ditching her signature platinum blonde, long hairstyle and instead opting for a brunette bob. The actress, who plays iconic dragon queen Daenerys Targaryen on the hit HBO show, gave fans a preview of her new look on her way to the Oscars.

"Blondes have more fun eh?! Well I will see about that this fine #oscar2019 evening..... let the good times roll," Clarke captioned an Instagram post, tagging her celebrity makeup and hairstylists. The star rocked a lavendermetallic dress by Balmain and statement earrings.

Nearly 1 million people liked Clarke's post within just one hour.

Of course, while on the red carpet Clarke was asked to spill some details about the last season of "Game of Thrones," which will return in the spring.

When Ryan Seacrest asked her how fans will respond to the finale, Clarke had one word: "Shocked"

“It took us a very long time for us to shoot this one for a very good reason,” Clarke explained, according to Page Six, adding that the end result is "going to be huge."

HBO confirmed the series will return in April 2019 with six episodes to conclude its run.
