Everyone Thinks Gwendoline Christie Dressed Like Jesus at the Emmys

All hail Brienne of Tarth.

Gwendoline Christie, who is up for her first Emmy tonight, arrived on the purple carpet in a Gucci confection worthy of only the greatest knight.

Christie famously submitted herself for the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series after learning that HBO would not. “I just had to do it for me,” she told the L.A. Times of her decision. “And I had to do it as a testament to the character and what I feel she represents.”

The actress, whose Emmys look is drawing comparisons to Jesus, arrived in a medieval-style beige gown with a red robe and golden embroidery. She styled her hair in loose waves at her shoulders and accessorized with a pair of shoulder-length gold earrings.
