The secret behind Game of Thrones star’s red-carpet look at the Emmys

Sep 22, 2015

One of our favourite looks from Sunday night's Emmy Awards was Game of Thrones star, Maisie Williams.

She donned a very soft retro look with a pastel pink strapless gown and fluff-top heels (which we adore).

Something else we adored on the night was Maisie's make-up.

Her skin glowed from one end of the red carpet to the other and we have just found out that's all thanks to Kiehl's skincare.

Makeup artist, Kindra Mann, was responsible for the stars look on the night.

“I was totally inspired tonight by Maisie's retro feeling pink dress. I loved that the colour and texture gave it a vintage feel."

"We wanted the makeup to feel that same way, but with a more modern twist.”

“To keep Maisie’s skin looking fresh all night I started off by pressing a few drops of Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate onto her skin before applying a little of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream for added moisture."

"I prepped the under eye area with a little of Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado.”

Sounds like a dreamy pampering session to us!

“For the lips we wanted a nice nude color that was a little softer than the pink in the dress. I started off by applying Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 to hydrate the lips."

"I then added Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo in #1 Pale Pink Nude to give it that perfect nude color.”

And what's more, we can get our hands on these gorgeous products too! Everything used on Maisie is available from Dundrum Town Centre and Arnotts!

Thought you knew what would happen in GOT? Think again…

Just incase you haven't watched the last episode of Game Of Thrones, or haven't heard about this by now, which seems very unlikely then let us just warn you… *SPOILERS*

Ok so following the finale of GOT season 5, fans worldwide all had their own theories as to what really happened with Jon Snow the night the knights watch turned against him.

To some people it all seemed so obvious "He was stabbed like 62 times in the stomach he's ded" but other didn't believe this so easily, "The red woman is there, she will bring him back to life. He can't be dead".

Well Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the television show, spoke to E! news and pretty much killed the dreams of anyone who was holding out hope for the safe return of Jon Snow.

In the interview, Maisie literally caused the breaking of a thousand hearts when speaking about whether Jon will be back or not saying, "I'm like, ‘I don't think so. I'm very sorry!' I don't know, maybe he wanted to keep the hair in the end."

She then goes on to make sure we don't have one fleeting ounce of hope by squashing another theory about Jon coming back as a white walker. After all, we think white walker Jon Snow is better than no Jon Snow at all.

"We saw him get stabbed like five times in the chest," Ms Williams says. "I think he's gone. I mean, I could be wrong, but I really don't think so."

"And people are like, ‘He's going to come back as White Walker!' I'm like, 'Really, we'd bring back Jon Snow as a White Walker?!' OK, you can believe what you'd like."

Thanks Maisie, that's our Thursday ruined…

Game of Thrones star SLAMS Emma Watson in interview

Remember Emma Watson’s United Nations address back in September?

Well, while the rest of us were hugely impressed by the actress’s impassioned speech and unwavering poise, not everyone was particularly moved by the Harry Potter star’s call for gender equality.

17 year-old Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in the hit HBO show Game of Thrones, was decidedly unmoved, saying: “A lot of what Emma Watson spoke about, I just think ‘That doesn’t bother me.’”

Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, the young British star went on to say that: “I know things aren’t perfect for women in the U.K and America, but there are women in the rest of the world who have it far worse.”

Emma, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, was promoting the HeForShe campaign when she called for people to address the misconceptions surrounding the word ‘feminism’ and highlighted various issues of inequality. The 24-year-old’s speech went on to garner worldwide praise.

Despite tweeting her support of the campaign at the time, Maisie has now said she doesn’t really identify with Emma’s ‘first-world feminism’.

We wonder if the 17-year-old will change her mind on the issue over time.

Game of Thrones actress, Maisie Williams, has found herself in something of a Twitter war with British Airways.

The actress, who plays Arya Stark on the show, voiced her displeasure at being banned from the business lounge as she is under 18 years.

Maisie tweeted the airline, writing: “Denied from the business lounge again for being under 18 and without an adult.. @British_Airways sort your shi** out.”

The 17-year-old then went on to say that she does not feel as if she deserves special treatment because of who she is, writing: “I’m not saying I deserve special treatment…Just saying if 16-18 year olds are grown up enough to travel 5,400 miles around the world.. I’m sure we can handle sitting quietly in the damn lounge.”

British Airways responded to the actress by saying: “Hi Maisie, we’re sorry if you were disappointed, lounge guests must be 18 or older. We look forward to welcoming you soon.”

The official trailer has been released for GOLD, a new film by IFTA winning writer and director Niall Heery, and it looks it could be up there with some of the best Irish films to date.

The film tells the story of Ray, a father on a mission to re-connect with the daughter and ex-girlfriend that he hasn’t seen in 12 years. However, it turns out they are now living with his former controlling and regimented P.E. teacher and as you can imagine, his attempts to reconnect with his daughter don’t go as planned.

The film stars Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones, David Wilmot from Calvary, Kerry Condon from The Runway and James Nesbitt from The Hobbit, and judging from the trailer, they give a great performance throughout.

We can’t wait for this to be released this autumn – we’ve a feeling there will be many a laugh had at ‘Frank the Wank’s’ expense!
