THE 21 HOTTEST GAME OF THRONES ACTRESSES, RANKED

#21 – Irri (Amrita Acharia)

After she was married off to warlord Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa), Irri became the handmaiden, and right-hand woman, to the “Queen of Dragons” Daenerys. Unfortunately, she was killed off in season one. I guess she wasn’t that easy on the eyes.

#20 – Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma)

Ellaria Sand was Prince Oberyn Martell’s paramour (before he got his head popped open by “The Mountain,” of course). And other than being a freak in the sheets (Martell was known for his kinks), she was also a hardened badass – as demonstrated when she plunged a knife into the chest of Oberyn’s older brother, Doran Martell, to rid the kingdom of “weak men.”

#19 – Olenna Tyrell

Olenna may be on the older side, but she’s on this list for organizing the death of King Joffery – one of the show’s most repugnant and spoiled characters. You go, Olenna.

#18 – Roslin Frey (Alexandra Dowling)

Roslin Frey was offered up for marriage to a reluctant Edmure Tully as a way to reenter a peace treaty among various GoT families. Well, Tully fell for her instantly (who can blame the guy!), and we’re pretty sure that they treaty, well, worked out for the best.

#17 -Talisa Stark (Oona Chaplin)

Oona Chaplin may have only had a brief, 11-episode stint on GoT as Robb Stark’s wife, but she’s certainly not new to acting. As her last name implies, she is the Granddaughter of the great Charlie Chaplin.

#16 – Obara Sand (Keisha Castle-Hughes)

Prince Oberyn (and the rest of the Martells) loved to fool around, therefore there were a lot of babies to be had, and Obara Sand was his oldest daughter. She’s also a “Sand Snake” – a group of women who are the result of the Martell’s, err, extracurricular activities – so she’s a skilled warrior who’s handy with a spear. Hot? Sure. But perhaps a bit more ‘hot-tempered’ than actual ‘hot-hot’.

#15 – Gilly (Hannah Murray)

Gilly isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed (or the bravest character), but she’s a loyal partner to Samwell Tarly and the Tarly family.

#14 – Shae (Sibel Kekilli)

Shae is a prostitute who later on becomes Tyrion Lannister’s main squeeze, and matches his witty personality perfectly with her own brand of seductive linguistic skills (in and out of the sack, we mean). In real life, actress Sibel Kekilli was a porn actress in Germany. Hey, maybe she was researching for this role.

#13 – Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick)

She may not be “hot,” but Meera is as loyal as they come, and when the time comes, she’s who you’ll want on your side when you need to throw down.

#12 – Myranda (Charlotte Hope)

Myranda was a character created purely for the show, so she’s not included in the novels. But, hey, we’re not complaining. Just look at her.

#11 – Nymeria Sand (Jessica Henwick)

Out of all the daughters of Oberyn Martell – and as you know by now, there are many – Nymeria is the sexiest. She has dark, penetrating eyes and luscious, full lips. However, anyone who was stupid enough to move in for a kiss would most likely find themselves on the wrong end of her many poisonous blades. Ouch!

#10 – Myrcella Baratheon (Nell Tiger Free)

Although she was much more likable than her little asshole of a brother, Joffrey, Myrcella was still whacked by Ellaria as revenge for Oberyn Martell’s death.

#9 – Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel)

By portraying Daenerys’s other right-hand woman, Nathalie Emmanuel has gained the love and attention of fans – so much so that one wealthy admirer dropped £35k just to party with her. And then last year she appeared in the movie Furious 7 (as Ramsey).

#8 – Tyene Sand (Rosabell Laurenti Sellers)

Yes, another “Sand Snake” made the list – those Oberyn’s must’ve had good genes. Also, Tyene’ hottest quote of the series, “You want a good girl, but you need the bad pussy,” which she whispered into the ear of Tyrion Lannister’s bodyguard, Bronn, earned her a high spot on this list.

#7 – Ygritte (Rose Leslie)

Also known as the girl who was “kissed by fire,” due to her red hair, Ygritte is a rare beauty in the GoT universe. It’s also an ironic name considering anyone who is on the other side of Ygritte’s bow and arrow is dubbed “kissed by fire.”

#6 – Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer)

Margaery has curling brown hair, big beautiful eyes, and a slim yet shapely figure. So, it is almost impossible to claim that she’s anything else but utterly gorgeous. On top of that, she is highly intelligent and very, very cunning.

#5 – Melisandre (Carice Van Houten)

Melisandre, aka the Red Priestess, is sexy as hell, and uses her “assets” to make men weak at their knees. She’s also quite adept in the dark arts, which is yet another trait that makes even the most influential and powerful men completely helpless in her presence. Simply put, she’s Sexy, deadly, and impossible to resist.

#4 – Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner)

Sansa Stark isn’t just a pretty face. She’s proficient in music, poetry, singing, dancing, and embroidery – pretty much any posh interest that a high-born woman engaged in back then. And all she wants is to be with a brave, handsome knight (sorry, dude).

#3 – Ros (Esme Bianco)

One of the hottest woman to appear on television, Esme Bianco’s character, Ros, managed to seduce and completely own crucial characters like Theon Greyjoy. Unfortunately, her role on the show came to an end when King Joffery – the biggest prick of the series, if you haven’t caught on to that by now – decided to use her as target practice to try out his new crossbow.

#2 – Cersei Lannister (Lena Heady)

If you’re the kind of guy that is into hard-to-get and scornful woman, well, then this one is for you. Cersei Lannister, also known as “The wicked Queen of the Seven Kingdoms,” repeatedly uses sex as a weapon in order to achieve her goals, as she plays ‘the Game of Thrones’, to try and claim the Iron Chair for herself. Though, we probably wouldn’t mind being a pawn in that game of political chess.

#1 – Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke)

Giving Daenerys are number one spot is pretty much a no-brainer, as she has every GoT fan drooling over her the minute that she steps foot on screen. And in 2015, Esquire seemed to be on the same page as they voted actress Emilia Clarke Their “Sexiest Woman Alive.” We really can’t disagree.
