Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke has been named the “Sexiest Woman Alive” by the editors of Esquire magazine. The big reveal came at midnight on Monday after the magazine teased the unveiling throughought the day. It’s a title previously held by Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.
“She manages to bring together a number of opposites, to make them natural: sweetness and toughness, emotionalism with a kind of cold-blooded determination,” the magazine wrote in the accompanying article. “Something in these contrasts explains her sex appeal, too. She can play queen and kid sister, dominatrix and pal.”
This is the second big magazine shout out of the year for Clarke, who was named Woman of the Year by GQ in September.
