Such a natural beauty! Games of Thrones star Emilia Clarke

She plays a mythic ivory-haired queen on HBO's Game of Thrones.
Yet Emilia Clarke was every inch the brunette stunner while leaving a matinee performance of Breakfast at Tiffany's Sunday afternoon.  
The actress has assumed the iconic role of socialite Holly Golightly in the stage production, which is based on the 1958 Truman Capote novella of the same.

Clarke follows in the footsteps of Audrey Hepburn, who made the coveted role famous after starring in the 1961 film version of Capote's manuscript directed by Blake Edwards.
The 26-year-old had minimal make-up on her visage and wore her chestnut locks loosely-styled outside Broadway's Cort Theater.
The Berkshire-raised star dressed classically, layering a charcoal wool blazer over a grey V-neck T-shirt and pairing the two with belted boyfriend jeans.
Nude pointed pumps, a black leather tote and tortoiseshell sunglasses topped off her tailored look.

The actress has perfected the role of Daenerys Targaryen on TV's wildly popular Game of Thrones, which just received the green light for a fourth season slated to premiere in 2014.  
However, she honed her craft on the stage, performing in plays since childhood and graduating from London's Drama Centre in 2009. 
And her experience shows.
Clarke's turn as Golightly has earned mostly positive reviews, with the New York Post declaring her a 'poised and confident' performer.

The newly single actress recently split from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, 39.

The couple, who dated for less than a year, cited distance as the primary reason for the relationship's dissolution.
They remain amicable despite the separation.

Outside the Cort Theater's stage door, eager fans gathered to greet Clarke, who obligingly signed autographs and posed for photographs with admirers. 
A young girl even presented the glowing actress with a personalized drawing, which she proudly displayed to a crowd of nearby photographers. 

The on-the-rise beauty will continue her foray into film with a turn in crime drama Dom Hemingway, also starring Jude Law.
