Emilia Clarke Poses Topless In Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive"

Staking her claim as one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, Emilia Clarke has been named "2015's Sexiest Woman Alive" by Esquire. The "Game of Thrones" starlet wears nothing but a strategically placed silk sheet and necklace during her November cover shoot.

Esquire writer Benjamin Markovits shares his thoughts on the Daenerys Targaryen actress' nomination, "Half pal, half dominatrix. Half kid sister, half sexy queen. The movie star who plays, in her real life, an anonymous, funny beauty. This is the gorgeous balance of Emilia Clarke." While Lisa Hintelmann, reveals why Clarke was the clear choice for the title, "Emilia Clarke is unforgettable in Game of Thrones and was hands down the number one choice of Esquire's staff, friends and family."

Clarke, who was named GQ's Woman of the Year in September, joins the list of former "Sexiest Women" winners, Penelope Cruz (2014), Scarlett Johansson (2013), Mila Kunis (2012) and Rihanna in 2011.
