“It’s my real costume,” 26-year-old Clarke said. “I thought I was dreaming. I got an email from amazing HBO publicist Mara, saying, ‘Madonna would like to borrow the costume, is that okay?'”

“I thought, ‘God, this must be a dream. This can’t be real,'” the British actress continued.

Madonna, 55, shared yet another Instagram photo of herself dressed as Daenerys on Thursday. “Need my Dragons today!” she captioned the pic, which again included two little dragons perched on both shoulders. (On the HBO smash series, Clarke’s character is often referred to as the “Mother of Dragons” for well, the three dragons she helped hatch herself.)
