Emma D’Arcy, at this point in their career, has become synonymous with the core character Rhaenyra Targaryen from ‘House of the Dragon’. They have made a big splash in the entertainment industry with this role, but there’s more to Emma than playing a stoic and badass Monarch – their distinct personality and style shines through in every scene.
The Rise of a Star
Emma D’Arcy started on stage before moving into TV, with an early role in the show BBC drama Wanderlust. They have starred in some impressive plays, including The Pillowman at the Oxford Playhouse in London, Romeo and Juliet at London’s Southwark Playhouse, and A Girl in School Uniform (Walks into a Bar) at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds. Many might not know that D’Arcy helps lead Forward Arena Theatre Company as one of its Artistic Directors, too.
However, it was playing Rhaenyra Targaryen, a fierce and determined princess, that really brought them enormous fame. Their portrayal of the fierce Targaryen princess was nothing short of remarkable as they brought forth the character to life with a powerful performance. The series, a prequel to Game of Thrones, gained a huge following, and D’Arcy quickly became a fan favorite as their standout performance won the admiration of audiences globally.
Emma D’Arcy’s Real Style is Completely Opposite to Their Rhaenyra Look
Interestingly, Emma D’Arcy’s personal style is complete opposite to the opulent and regal attire of Rhaenyra. While the character is often seen in lavish gowns and intricate jewellery, D’Arcy’s off-screen fashion choices are decidedly more understated. They have a penchant for clean lines, well-fitted clothes with a hint of androgyny – a style that is both sophisticated and effortlessly cool.
With this look, the British actor joined other famous celebs like Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles, Kristen Stewart, and Billie Eilish who also love to mix and match clothes in new and interesting ways. The transition from the medieval grandeur of House of the Dragon to the modern red carpet has been seamless for D’Arcy. At the show’s premieres, they’ve stood out with their unconventional silhouettes, bold colours and statement accessories, always managing to look confident.
A recent example is Emma’s outfit at the House of the Dragon premiere in London. They wore a stylish monochrome suit by the men’s brand Çanaku. To complete the look, Emma sported bright red cowboy boots, sleek dark sunglasses, and shiny gold grill that matched the theme perfectly.
Emma first impressed everyone with their stylish look at the 2022’s big premiere of HBO’s series. They wore an eye-catching oversized suit that is about to become their statement style.

Emma D’Arcy’s style has evolved over time. Their rise to the top of the fashion world has been gradual but steady. With each public appearance, they’ve become more of a style icon. As their career takes off, there’s no doubt their fashion influence will only grow.
Playing Rhaenyra Targaryen has definitely put Emma D’Arcy in the spotlight, however, it’s their talent, charisma, and distinct style that made them stand out. As they take on new roles and push creative boundaries, one thing is for sure; there’s no stopping Emma.
