"Game of Thrones" belle Natalie Dormer caught everyone's attention yesterday at the Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris when she sported a slightly visible black bra beneath her heart-patterned blouse.
She is widely known for her tough roles as Margaery Tyrell in the HBO series-hit "Game of Thrones" (GoT) and Cressida in the widely acclaimed film Mockingjay. The British actress has never failed to brandish her exquisite allure on her shows and films, whether scantily-clad, nude, well-dressed, or fully clothed.
Her outfit was designed to accentuate her admirable slim waistline through her high-waisted black trousers. With minimal and natural-looking makeup and only a glint of lip gloss, the 34 year-old beauty embodied quite the unique appearance as she walked on the star-studded event's pink carpet.
Dormer's public display of a slightly see-through blouse can be loosely tied to some issues recently. There have been reports suggesting that GoT is "sexist", which she defended on behalf of the show.
Following the finale episode of GoT's sixth season, accusations have been made throughout the drama's run that the show has sexist and misogynistic overtones. Dormer was initially hesitant to address this.
"My job is to be the vessel of what has been written down by the writers," she said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She further said it wasn't her job to defend what the show is about. Their opinions as actors shouldn't matter because their job description is to carry out and empathise with whichever perspective their given, she said.
Eventually, she claimed that GoT showrunners DB Weiss and David Benioff are very, very far from being misogynistic. It feels a little unfair for her sometimes that they have to defend the choices and intentions of the show, as she said in The Mirror.
She further explained that it's just a matter of being accurate to the different tones and colours that exist in our society today. The portrayal of misogyny in their writing makes people have conversations about it, and that's what good drama does.
Dormer acknowledges the existence of misogyny in society, and ironically even in fantastical worlds, but she believes they are only be used as metaphors for the reality of these situations in the real world.
