   Emilia Clarke tops AskMen’s annual list of Most Desirable Women in showbiz

AskMen has just released its annual list of most desirable beauties in showbiz, be it from film, music, or sports, and fans of “Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence, last year’s winner, will probably be saddened to learn that she is no longer reigning queen. Emilia Clarke is.

The list isn’t based on looks alone, as the magazine makes it clear from the start.

Finalized taking into consideration input both from the magazine’s editors and readers’ votes, the annual chart is actually a celebration of “beautiful and successful females who have recently made remarkable contributions to the worlds of film, business, sports, comedy, fashion, music, and philanthropy.”

Emilia Clarke is most famous for her role on HBO’s hit series “Game of Thrones,” in which she plays the rightful Queen of Westeros Daenerys Targaryen, also known as the Mother of Dragons because, well, she actually is mother to three very real, fire-breathing dragons.

“The ‘Mother of Dragons’ has evolved from a shrinking violet into a fierce leader, a champion of the weak and a warrior, and the strength of her character is inspiring. The actress is also a charmer who knows how to work her assets, not least of which are her, um, eyebrows?” AskMen writes.

Soon enough, Emilia will be taking on another very popular and incredibly strong female character, that of Sarah Connor, in a new planned reboot of “Terminator,” which will also star Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jason Clarke, no relation to the stunning Emilia.

“Terminator: Genesis” will be out in theaters in 2015.

Back to the AskMen list, it also includes newcomers Alison Brie (on second position, no less), Emily Ratajkowski, and Margot Robbie. The top 10 is comprised of Clarke, Brie, Ratajkowski, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson, Kate Upton, Kerry Washington, Amy Adams, Robbie, and Kate Moss.

Other celebrities in whose ranking you might be interested in are Miley Cyrus (99), Kim Kardashian (87), Zoe Saldana (75), Sandra Bullock (57), Gal Gadot (39), Amber Heard (33), Amanda Seyfried (27), Cate Blanchett (21), Lolo Jones (15), and Beyonce (11).
