Sophie Turner has undergone an ‘80s makeover in new pictures from ITV drama Joan – which Digital Spy can bring you exclusively.
The new series, which debuts later this month, sees the Game of Thrones star portray real-life jewel thief Joan Hannington as she balances life as a mother and criminal.
In the new stills from behind-the-scenes, Turner wears a fur coat while out on the street, as well as a gold dress in a club and a purple outfit on the beach.

The series is based on Hannington’s memoir I Am What I Am: The True Story of Britain's Most Notorious Jewel Thief, with a trailer released last month.
Turner previously admitted that she was "so excited to be bringing Joan Hannington's fascinating life story to screen”.

The CW is set to air the show in the US, with the network’s entertainment chief Brad Schwartz previously lavishing praise on Turner’s performance.
“That is going to be awards bait, that show," he said on The Hollywood Reporter’s TV’s Top 5 podcast. “The dailies look amazing, Sophie Turner is phenomenal… I’m really, really excited about that one.”
Joan will also star Frank Dillane, Kirsty J Curtis, Gershwyn Eustache Jr, Tomi May, Laura Aikman and Alex Blake.
Joan airs its first episode on ITV1 on September 29, with all six episodes becoming available on ITVX after episode one airs. The drama will be aired on The CW in the US.
