Emilia Clarke put on a glamorous display at the 49th Deauville American Film Festival in France on Sunday.
The Emmy award nominee was snapped beaming from ear to ear as she received the prestigious Nouvel Hollywood award at the annual event.
The star, 36, posed proudly with the award ahead of the presentation of her latest movie.
Emilia was pictured receiving the award from the French director Alexandre Aja, member of the Jury of Revelations, ahead of the presentation of her movie.
Dazzling in a black sequined gown, the star showed off her slim physique in the dress which featured a plunging neckline.

Stunning: The 36-year-old looked incredible in the black sequined gown with a plunging neckline as she cut an elegant figure
The actress seemed to be in great spirits as she attended the film premiere for her latest project The Pod Generation.
Showing off her natural beauty, the star tucked her brunette locks behind her eyes and kept her makeup fairly natural aside from a bold red lip.
Accessorising the fit, she wore a pair of dangly pearl earrings and elevated her height with some simple black heels.
Emilia stars alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor in the science fiction romantic comedy film written and directed by Sophie Barthes.
Set in the not-so-distant future, the film follows Rachel (Emilia) and Alvy (Chiwetel) as tech giant Pegazus offers couples the opportunity to share their pregnancies via detachable artificial wombs or pods.
And so begins Rachel and Alvy’s wild ride to parenthood in this brave new world.
The 49th edition of the Deauville American Film Festival kicked off on Friday and will run until Sunday 10th September.
It is film festival season as the 80th Venice Film Festival also kicked off earlier this week and Toronto is gearing up.
Yet the hotly-anticipated events won’t be full of their usual Hollywood sparkle due to the writers’ and actors’ strike which has paralysed Hollywood for several weeks.

Venice has already felt the effects of the strike after the Day two of the festival proved to be a low-key event on Thursday as only a handful of stars turned out for the Ferrari premiere.
The festival marks the start of the awards season and regularly throws up big favourites for the Oscars. Eight of the past 11 Best Director awards at the Oscars went to films that debuted at Venice.
Yet while it usually attracts the biggest name in Hollywood, stars have been shunning the event this year because the SAG-AFTRA strikes has prevented them from promoting their work there.
The writers union, the WGA, went on strike on May 2, and were followed by SAG-AFTRA, the actors union, on July 14.
It seems Deauville will be similarly effected, as stars Natalie Portman, Jude Law, Peter Dinklage and Joseph Gordon-Levitt reportedly all cancelled their visit despite being billed to receive a Deauville Talent Award.
