Emilia Clarke has officially arrived!

The British actress and Game Of Thrones star is at the top of the New Actor A-list published Wednesday by industry bible The Hollywood Reporter.

The reason? The 28-year-old is getting a rumored $7 million for season seven of GOT, has top billing over Arnold Schwarzenegger in the new Terminator reboot out on July 1 and she turned down the leading role in Fifty Shades Of Grey.

She's got a new throne: Emilia Clarke is named top of the New Actor A-list by The Hollywood Reporter

Riding high: The British actress, 28, looks stunning in black fishnet and dramatic makeup on the cover of the industry trade magazine and says she 'never in a million years' thought GOT would be such a huge hit

Such is her success that she's even able now to call the shots when it comes to nudity - as in not doing it on the HBO hit series.

'There are other women who remove items of clothing on our show, so they've kind of got my nipple count down now,' she told THR.

Clarke also turned down the role of Anastasia Steele in the film version of Fifty Shades Of Grey, a role that subsequently launched Dakota Johnson into the stratosphere.

'No regrets,' is all Clarke said when asked about it.

Out of nowhere: Clarke was fresh out of drama school when she auditioned for the role of the queen Daenerys in the HBO series and five years later, she's got top billing over Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator: Genisys

She plays the lead on the hit HBO series, Game of Thrones, is starring in a hot blockbuster film, and she's on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter . So we know major designers are already scrambling to dress Emilia Clarke.

In the April issue, the Terminator Genisys star wears the latest straight from the runway styles including this silk, organza gown by Valentino.

The breathtakingly beautiful, floor length stunner is available at Luisaviaroma for a whopping $13,500. The translucent material, metallic starfish motif, and plunging neckline give this gown an ethereal look that still oozes sex appeal.

Of course this is quite the investment so we've found some less pricey versions from Alice + Olivia to BCBG that still capture the essence of Valentino's original. Keep accessories simple so as not to steal the spotlight from these showstoppers and you'll be the belle of the ball at your next event.

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT FOR LESS

Red hot career: The actress, seen here in a black top hat and sea green dress with a plunging neckline, has cut back on her on-screen nudity and told THR: 'They've kind of got my nipple count down now' on GOT

The way she tells it, the actress actually thought she'd 'arrived' when, in 2010, she auditioned for the role of the queen Daenerys in Game Of Thrones.

All she could think about, she says, is the craft services laid on for the casting director and producers.

'There was a huge, incredible plateau of fruit,' she recalled. 'I was like, 'Wow, I've arrived. This is a serious audition.''

That audition changed her life and her career.

Game of Thrones has become the most successful show in HBO history, surpassing even The Sopranos, with an average 18.4 million viewers an episode across all platforms.

'Never in a million years did I think Game of Thrones was going to take off like it did,' said Clarke.. 'It's taken me five years to catch up with it. I'm still not sure I'm there.'

At the top of the heap: The Mother Of Dragons has Hollywood at her feet and even had to turn down Oliver Stone because she's so busy

The battle begins in dramatic NEW Game of Thrones trailer

Hollywood is coming calling as a result of her terrific performance as the Mother Of Dragons on the gritty and bloody dynastic drama.

She was chosen for the iconic role of Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genisys for which she underwent some serious weapons training so she could handle a machine gun convincingly on screen.

She gets better billing than Schwarzenegger for the action movie which also landed her a new boyfriend, her Australian co-star Jai Courtney.

Oliver Stone also wanted her to play Edward Snowden's girlfriend in his film about the whistleblower but she was already committed to the tearjerker Me Before You, set to film this summer, and couldn't fit in Stone's movie as well as her GOT commitments.

'My heart broke,' she said of turning Stone down.

She does it all: Clarke, who stars as Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot, learned how to machine gun cyborgs convincingly, and next up will star in the tearjerker Me Before You based on the best-selling novel
