In March 2013, Emilia Clarke and other celebrities were present at the Broadway adaptation of Breakfast at Tiffany’s opening night party at the Edison Ballroom in New York City.

The Game of Thrones actress plays the lead role, Holly Golightly. During the opening night, she wore the classic finger wave hairdo and light makeup, but during the after-party, she got her hair pulled back, complete with dark smokey eyes and red lip shade.

I must say that Emilia stunned me during the after-party in her black number. Check her out below, along with other celebrities who donned exciting dresses.

1. Emilia Clarke’s Enchantment: A Closer Look at Her Dolce & Gabbana Masterpiece

Is it just me, or does this look remind you of Black Swan? I love this entire look. I like the sexiness and sophistication of the dress. It has a bodysuit inside and is covered with a sheer overlay designed with daisy flower appliques.

Emilia’s dark eye makeup and dark red lip shade complemented the dress well. Although she could have worn black pumps for a dark glamour finish, her white pumps added chic contrast.

2. AnnaSophia Robb: Stripes and Style with Alice + Olivia

19-year-old AnnaSophia Robb did not just embrace the black-and-white trend. She also embraced the stripe trend of the new season. This young actress knows what’s hot today, huh?

Her diagonally striped Alice + Olivia sleeveless dress is made of leather and has an A-line silhouette. While she could have kept her look in harmony by wearing black or perhaps white pumps and carrying a monochrome clutch, AnnaSophia chose to play with some colors. She brought a green bag and teamed her dress with pink Jean-Michel Cazabat pumps.

3. Kate Cullen Roberts Sparkles in Sequin Splendor

Kate Cullen Roberts ensured she would catch attention as she donned a dress embellished with navy-colored sequins. While some sequined dresses look too glitzy, her dress still managed to look toned down and elegant.

Her minimal accessories, including stud earrings, a gold cuff, and black shoes, made the entire ensemble sophisticated.

4. Krysta Rodriguez: Elegance and Edginess in a Stunning Black Gown

Smash actress Krysta Rodriguez chose to dress sexy in a black gown. The halter dress features a plunging neckline and some cutouts at the sides, and as if the exposed skin isn’t enough, her gown also boasts two thigh-high slits.
