Sultry Modern Victorian Editorials

Natalie Dormer Sheds Her Game of Thrones Costume for Esquire UK

Natalie Dormer shows off her sexy side in a tantalizing new spread for Esquire UK’s October 2013 issue. Dormer is most well-known for her roles in period dramas such as ‘The Tudors’ or ‘Game of Thrones,’ so it’s nice to see her in a little more of a modern setting.

The shoot, which was photographed by Chris Floyd, was accompanied by a short video, the theme of which was Newton’s third law: for every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Dormer is serenely swinging on a hammock, gazing at the sky, before catching an apple and stating the law. As for the images, Dormer lounges around a historical-looking home in London, sporting tousled bedhead, smoky eye makeup and various (mostly black) lingerie ensembles. The overall effect is a seductive spread featuring Dormer’s signature pout.
