Emilia Clarke is "a secret hardcore fashion girl" and has devoted "entire rooms" of her house to her clothing collection

She told Vogue: "I'm a secret hardcore fashion girl. I have adored fashion for as long as I've been alive, and I've been poring over Vogue since I was, like, six.

"I'm sort of in awe of it all. There are now entire rooms in my house that have become additional wardrobes.

"I care deeply, deeply about clothes. I bloody love it ... Being brave on the red carpet is a difficult thing to do. It's a totally different arena to fashion week, and sometimes, you don't get the right opportunities. That's why I love shooting editorials. I get to be immersed in something mental."

Emilia went on to admit she loves going to fashion week shows but she still feels "like a tourist".

She added: "I've come to learn over the years that I'm a tourist in this world ... My publicist would say that it's 'a mutually beneficial' thing for me to be photographed here [at Paris Fashion Week].

"But I do it because I love fashion. Breathing the same air as all these people who have put an inordinate amount of work in is a treat. I mean I clearly go weak at the knees for a coat."

Emilia previously shared the best fashion advice she's ever been given is to buy clothes and then get them tailored to the perfect fit.

She told Harper's Bazaar: "The best piece of fashion advice I've ever been given is to get stuff tailored. I'm five foot two, and it's a problem because nice clothes are usually designed for tall people. What we wear matters so much: it can transform your mood and make you feel different."

She added: "I've also learnt a lot about beauty, mostly from my mum. She always told me not to pluck my eyebrows. They're strong and they're here to stay."
