Stylish Sophie Turner debuted her new brunette hair as she proudly posed with her award at the star-studded Newport Beach Film Festival UK & IE held at Raffles in London on Thursday night, Daily Mail reports.
The actress, 29, put on a leggy display in a dark green leather skirt and matching jacket for the occasion.
Sophie Turner completed the look with black leather boots and wore her fresh new tresses in loose waves after ditching her usual blonde tresses.
The Game of Thrones icon was seen beaming as she accepted the gong on stage in front of the crowds.
The star posed with the award for Artist of Distinction at the event.
The awards also attended by the likes of Paul Mescal, Edith Bowman, Timothy Spall and Sam Claflin.
It comes after earlier this week Sophie Turner battled the rain as she filmed dramatic knife fight scenes for the new Tomb Raider series in Surrey on Wednesday.
The actress, who is the latest to take on the role of Lara Croft, was seen making a swift escape on a motorbike, driven by her co-star Martin Bobb-Semple, 28.
The pair have thrown themselves into action as filming for the intense and physically demanding scenes began after dark in a wooded area.
Sophie Turner looked worse for wear as she got into character, wielding a knife as she ran between the trees before being rescued by Martin.
The night shoot saw the quiet location transformed into a muddy battle ground which was lit by floodlights.
Martin will star as Zip, who is hired by Lara as her trusted tech support man and friend.
Sophie Turner follows in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander in the iconic role and has been in training for stunts for over a year.
Speaking to ScreenRant, she said: ‘I can’t say much, but my preparation began in February [2025].
‘I’ve been training for a long time now, coming up on a year, and we’re going to start shooting in January.
‘I’m really excited, but I feel prepped, and I feel really lucky to have such a great relationship with Amazon, and I’m excited for the world to see what we do with Lara and Tomb Raider. I think it’s going to be something special.’
She joins the likes of Sigourney Weaver and Jason Isaacs in the video game adaptation.
It hasn’t been easy for the cast, with Sophie revealing she suffered a recurring back problem during the gruelling training process .
Appearing on The Julia Cunningham Show, Sophie Turner said: ‘We’ve been doing eight hours a day, five days a week since February last year, of training. Yeah, so it’s been a lot.
‘I’ve learned I have a perpetual back problem, but I also realised that it’s much easier to kind of build muscle if you’ve ever worked out before in your life, which I never had, so it has taken me months and months and months to get into good shape.’
Sophie is best known for starring as Sansa Stark in the HBO series Game Of Thrones, but she insisted her years on the show didn’t help prepare her for Tomb Raider because she was never involved in any action scenes.
‘No, I was the cool queen who, like, didn’t have to do that. I also just kind of was the one that got beat up, not the one doing the beating,’ she said.
‘So, it’s quite nice to learn how to throw a punch and not just take it.’
Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge is behind the new project, serving as creator, writer and executive producer.
