Emilia Clarke was having a blast as she danced with her co-star Haley Lu Richardson at the premiere of Ponies in New York on Wednesday.
The Game Of Thrones star, 39, and the actress, 30, were all smiles and giggles as they got their groove on while posing on the red carpet.
Emilia looked regal in a black floor length gown with a bateau neckline and pointed heels as she posed at The Whitby Hotel.
She completed the classic look with a silver necklace and styled her hair in a low bun, with a slick of pillar box red lipstick providing a bolt of colour.
Haley-Lu turned heads in a racy brown mesh leopard print mini dress with white lace frills that revealed her thong underwear, teamed with black peep-toe heels.

Ponies is a spy thriller set in 1970s Cold War about Bea (played by Emilia) and Twila (played by Haley) investigating their husbands’ death as the pair work as CIA operatives together.
Emilia was seen leaving her hotel in SoHo earlier in the evening as she wrapped up in a navy coat which she wore over her shoulders.
Her appearance comes after she revealed she suffered a ‘full mental breakdown’ when Game Of Thrones finished – and admitted she’s now done with the fantasy genre.
The actress, who played Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO fantasy series, spoke about the hit show ending after it being such a huge part of her life for nearly a decade.
She said: ‘It was the first time in my professional life that I stopped. I had a full mental breakdown. It was almost as if the timing of the pandemic was bang on.’
The show aired from 2011 to 2019 and also starred the likes of Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Kit Harington.
While speaking with The New York Times, Emilia said that it was only after the show ended that she took the time ‘to realise that I could try and get some autonomy over my choices, my work.
‘So much of my career didn’t reflect my taste, I just sort of shot out of a cannon.’
The pair looked as though they were having a ball as they enjoyed their big moment

Emilia began playing the role when she was only 22 and it was only her third acting job, meaning she felt she ‘never had time to stop and consider the meaning of it’.
She also shared that she is now done with the fantasy genre, saying: ‘You’re highly unlikely to see me get on a dragon, or even in the same frame as a dragon, ever again.’
Last June, Emilia told The Big Issue she feared being fired from the hit show after she suffered brain haemorrhages.
The star suffered bleeds on her brain in 2011 and 2013, which she said left her ‘altered on a dramatic level.’
She first had a haemorrhage after the first season of Game Of Thrones finished filming, and lost her ability to speak as she nearly slipped into a coma.
The second one left her in need of surgery after scans showed it had doubled in size, and Emilia previously detailed that she is in a ‘really small minority’ of people who have survived and been left with ‘no repercussions.’

Also in attendance of the premiere was Vic Michaelis, 32, who plays Cheryl, who looked incredible in a double denim oversized suit with a floral pattern
Artjom, Haley, Emilia and Nicholas laughed together as they posed on the red carpet
She told the magazine: ‘When you have a brain injury, it alters your sense of self on such a dramatic level. All of the insecurities you have going into the workplace quadruple overnight.
‘The first fear we all had was, ‘Oh my God, am I going to get fired? Am I going to get fired because they think I’m not capable of completing the job?”
Emilia had surgery to restore blood flow, as well as taking medication to relieve the pain.
Also in attendance at Wednesday night’s premiere were Ponies stars Vic Michaelis, 32, Nicholas Podany, 29, Artjom Gilz, 39, and Petro Ninovskyi, 27.
