We're used to seeing them swathed in leather and fur, dirty faced or adorned in fantastical medieval garb.

But at the LA premier of Game of Thrones Season 7, the series' biggest stars were the epitome of Hollywood glamour.

Arguably the coolest faces on television, the stars brought their unique senses of style to the carpet and, as the first episode airs today, we've rounded up ten of the best looks:

1. SOPHIE TURNER

Famed for her portrayal of Sansa Stark, Turner made a bold choice with this silver sequined, Japanese-inspired Louis Vuitton mini dress.

2. KIT HARRINGTON

The man who plays the recently revived role of Jon Snow looked unusually dapper in an all-black suit paired with black velvet loafers.

3. ROSE LESLIE

Rose Leslie wore an embroidered yellow and black dress with velvet bow detailing at the back. The Erdem gown made for a stunning colour contrast to the bright blue carpet.

4. MAISIE WILLIAMS

Playing the tomboy role of Arya Stark, this was a seldom seen, mature look for Williams. She chose a figure-hugging emerald green slip dress, paired with black heels and a black sequin clutch. Striking green eye liner amplified the dramatic look.

5. GWENDOLINE CHRISTIE

Christie is about as far from her armour-clad on screen character, Brienne of Tarth, as is possible in this embellished silver and beige dress with plunging neckline. She topped off the look with silver heels and Ara Vartanian jewellery.

Our very own Kiwi-born Keisha chose a metallic, emerald and navy striped dress that made her look every bit the Hollywood star.

7. HANNAH MURRAY

Hannah Murray, who plays Gilly, chose a black and gold J. Mendel creation. The British actress added black nail polish and rock chic inspired earrings to complete her look.

8. IAN GLEN

9. INDIRA VARMA

Actress Indira Varma looked stunning in a floral pink and white printed maxi. The fluted sleeves and hem were the perfect contrast to the event's decor.
