Emilia Clarke x Violet Grey, June 2016.

'Me Before You' and 'Game Of Thrones' actress Emilia Clarke sparkles, literally, in a new editorial for online magazine Violet Grey, styled in the likes of J. Mendel and Rodarte.

Emilia on what she learnt from her Mum about make-up: "How to do no-makeup makeup. Now, if I’m going out with my mates, I will do their makeup and teach them. I also help them put on red lipstick, which I always encourage people to wear. The key is finding the right shade for you."

Drowners - 'On Desire' album review.

Drowners’ eponymous debut secured the band a small yet solid fanbase, upon which upcoming album ‘On Desire’ seems certain to build. ‘On Desire’ strays from the formulaic indie-rock of its predecessor, sounding all the more intoxicating for stretching beyond the band’s most obvious influences. The Smiths are out, and Echo And The Bunnymen are in. The result? A swathe of post-punk minor-key melodies laden with unforgettable guitar lines and explosive choruses.

An Emilia Clarke x 'Me Before You' appreciation post.

Emilia Clarke is an actress who’s played many a different character - her latest role as Lou in ‘Me Before You’ is totally different to her regular character as the Queen Of Dragons (a.k.a. Daenerys Targaryen) in ‘Game Of Thrones’, but she owns the screen just as well.

To celebrate the release of her new film, ‘Me Before You’, we’ve decided to compile a list of things that we currently appreciate about Emilia.

But first, here’s some official information about the film:

Watch: Matty Healy mention New Zealand in a live Q&A.

In a live Q&A with BBC Radio 1, Matty Healy of The 1975 spoke about his intentions to return to New Zealand.

Though he initially appears confused, he begins to understand as the questions start to roll in. Also Ross in the background is my favourite part of this whole video.

As well as revealing his favourite frontman of all time - spoiler alert, it’s himself, he was also asked: “Come back to New Zealand?” to which he responded, “Yes.”

Never give up on your dreams, New Zealand.
