Olivia Cooke changes into a low-cut pinstripe dress and sunglasses as she parties with co-star Matt Smith after House Of The Dragon premiere
Olivia Cooke cut a stylish figure as she swapped her princess gown for a low-cut pinstripe dress to attend the afterparty for House Of The Dragon's series three premiere in London on Monday.
Earlier in the evening, the actress, 32, who plays Queen Alicent Hightower, stunned in a bold white strapless dress while posing on the red carpet with co-star Matt Smith at the event at Odeon West End.
As she later partied with leading man Matt, 43, and their fellow cast members at The Old Sessions House, Olivia ensured she let her hair down in style in a chic grey number and dark shades.
The beauty's dress hugged her curves and featured a split at the back, with Olivia boosting her height with a pair of black patent heels.
She looked in great spirits as she gave a small wave to onlookers as she headed into the afterparty where she mingled with her fellow actors.
The event saw the likes of Matt, who portrays lead role Daemon Targaryen in the HBO series, also switch up his look, swapping his navy blazer for a black one.

Emma D’Arcy (Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen), Tom Glynn-Carney (Aegon II), Phoebe Campbell (Rhaena Targaryen), Ewan Mitchell (Prince Aemond Targaryen) and Annie Shapero (Alysanne Blackwood) were also spotted heading to the bash after earlier posing on the red carpet.
The premiere comes days after co-creator Ryan Condal declared: 'These sequences, I will confidently say, are unlike anything that's ever been done on television before.'
Ryan joined the panel at SXSW London where he insisted House Of The Dragon will be bigger than ever.
The fantasy series House Of The Dragon is returning for an eight-episode third season which will launch from June 22 on HBO Max, with further episodes airing weekly until the finale on August 10.
Book readers will know immediately that he's referring to 'The Battle of the Gullet', an epic and gruesomely bloody clash that takes place across land and sea and is the defining centerpiece of Targaryen civil war in House Of The Dragon that predates the events of Game Of Thrones by about 200 years.
The entire series has been leading up to this moment, which even fictional historians would deem to be the bloodiest naval battle in Westerosi history.
'The amount of construction that you guys did for just the one episode is kind of crazy and frankly irresponsible,' Ryan teased. 'But it was necessary to tell the story, and this is such a seminal moment for the show.'
The conflict was originally sparked by a fatal misunderstanding at the end of season one, when the dying King Viserys (Paddy Considine) whispers a prophecy about 'Aegon the Conqueror' to Queen Alicent (Olivia Cooke).

Alicent mistakenly thinks her husband has ordered their son Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) to become king instead of his chosen heir, Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy).
As Alicent and her cohort crown King Aegon II and shut down the Red Keep, Rhaenyra takes off on her dragon to go on the attack.
Season two ended as family tensions turned into a full-scale civil war and season three will pick up seconds after that.
The prequel to HBO smash-hit Game Of Thrones, hit screens back in 2022 and dropped its series three trailer back in April.

Writing in the YouTube comments section, one fan penned: 'Now we are talking; This season is dark and full of terrors; My boy, Daemon finally getting the Action he deserves!!
'This series is so dark, so tragic and epic...pure gold; This looks better than season 2. Let's hope it delivers.'
