    From standout red carpet moments to chic off-duty dressing - it's Maisie Williams' style decoded...

    Maisie Williams may be just 19-years-old, but that hasn't stopped the Brit actress from making her mark on the style scene.

    Launching onto our screens playing Ayra Stark in Game of Thrones', Maisie's not your average teenager. With a number of coveted awards under her belt (Games of Thrones is currently on season 6 in the UK), the brunette beauty has clocked-up a fair few red carpet appearances, and naturally, has caught our eye thanks to a slew of incredible looks.

    On our screens, Maisie's character mostly finds herself in loose-fitting, androgynous-style clothes - think plenty of linen in shades of brown and khaki, all layered together and fastened with a tough-looking leather belt, and a splash of mud on the face for good measure - which although comfortable, doesn't make for the most glamorous of wardrobes. So it's fairly understandable that off-set, Maisie is a little more experimental when it comes to her own personal wardrobe.

    On or off-duty - Maisie's firmly got her sense of style nailed. From bandeau, prom-style midi dresses to cool two-piece short and blazer combos, Miss Williams has clearly figured out what works for her petite frame, and rightly so, sticks with that style formula.

    It seems to be the right move as the results so far have been pretty impressive, and have landed Maisie on plenty of best dressed lists, launching the sassy starlet onto the fashion map and onto our radar.

    There's been plenty of designer looks that have caught our eye for all the right reasons, but some of our favourite looks have come from Self-Portrait, the hottest A-List label to love right now, and one we can actually afford, giving us all the more reason to embrace Maisie as our new style muse.

    Alongside those standout red carpet frocks, we've spotted Maisie's penchant for quirky accessories, too. Not quite satisfied with a showstopping designer frock, each look is pulled together with a standout bag, shoe or earring. Be it an ultra-fluffy pink heel to offset a ladylike pencil dress or a perspex clutch bag - there's nothing boring about Maisie's approach to event dressing.
