Olivia Cooke cuddled up with her co-star Fabien Frankiel as she was joined by Rhys Ifans and the rest of the House Of The Dragon cast at a photocall in Paris.

The 30-year-old actress looked effortlessly chic as she stepped out at L’Automobile Club with the Eiffel Tower in the background on Thursday.

Olivia, who plays Alicent Hightowe in the Game Of Thrones prequel series, wore a beautiful black maxi dress with a racer neck, featuring a piece of button-up fabric.

She paired the chic look with flat sunglasses amid the French rays, while her dark locks were straight and sleek.

Actor and writer Steve Toussaint, 59, put on a cheeky performance during the photo shoot as he grinned and pointed the camera.

Steve looked smart for the occasion in a light gray double-breasted suit, which he teamed with a dark shirt and black leather shoes.

House Of The Dragon – a prequel to Game of Thrones – follows the feud between Alicent and Rhaenyra as they battle over who will ultimately rule from the Iron Throne. The highly anticipated eight-episode second season debuts June 16 on Max.

Last month, fans got another action-packed look at season two.

In a new trailer for the next chapter of the Game of Thrones prequel, we see Matt, Emma and Olivia all return for what is sure to be another dramatic season.

“The Targaryen who sits on the Iron Throne is not just any king or queen. They are a protector of the realm,” Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (D’Arcy) can be heard pondering at the beginning of the trailer.

“Now I find myself in an impossible position,” Rhaenyra continues.

As King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) approaches his throne, D’Arcy muses, “The enemy has usurped my throne.”

Rhaenyra looks at a collection of swords before swinging them confidently.

Meanwhile, during a tense meeting, King Aegon asks, casually pointing his blade at the others, “What are we going to do about it?”

“Proceed with caution,” Queen Alicent Hightower (Cooke) sternly advises.

‘F**k dignity!’ Aegon suddenly shouts, before adding in a cooler tone, “I want revenge.”

As soldiers prepare for battle, Daemon is seen musing, “I didn’t think they would want to die so much.”

“The empire’s only hope lies in a leader strong enough to unite it,” Daemon remarks at one point while riding a dragon.

In a powerful moment, Rhaenyra asks Daemon, “Do you accept me as your queen and ruler?” A long pause follows.

The trailer shows action-packed battle scenes as the civil war rages on.

“War is coming,” Rhaenyra notes breathlessly. “And maybe neither of us will win.”

Season one of House Of The Dragon premiered on August 21, 2022.
