House of the Dragon star Olivia Cooke just gave social media a taste of her Japan getaway, including a beachy bikini snap that had fans breathing fire. The actress, who plays fan favorite Alicent Hightower on the hit Game of Thrones spinoff, took to Instagram to share a candid series of shots.

In the carousel, she included a snap of her in a string bikini, looking out over the sea. Cooke, holding a drink by her side, sports a pair of shades as her brunette hair cascades down her back.
Along with the sizzling beach shot, Cooke regaled fans with fun snaps from Japan. They included the actress gearing up to play “Guess” karaoke, eating fancy ramen alongside locals, and an amusing sign warning folks not to stand and squat on toilets (seriously). She even kicked off the carousel with a picture from a sumo match.
However, the final picture in the series of snapshots was perhaps the show-stopper. In the candid selfie, Cooke revealed a new (to fans) chin-length bob cut.
In the caption, Cooke also seemed to flex on how behind the curve she is with her smartphone purchases. She wrote alongside the series of shots: “shot on iPhone 6.” That model dropped back in 2014. We’re currently on the iPhone 16.

Other fans urged Cooke to share some footage from that karaoke tease. “Looking forward to the “Guess” karaoke performance video,” the hopeful onlooker wrote. “Need the Guess karaoke vídeo,” a second fan agreed.
Many Instagram denizens expressed a range of emotions over the Bates Motel star’s hair revelation.
“Short hair Liv OMFG,” one fan gushed. “The hair shut uppppp,” a second fan added. “The BOBBBBBB,” a third fan exclaimed.
Of course, at least one Apple lover couldn’t help but question Cooke’s caption. “iPhone 6? 6???? lol do you mean 16? Cause 6 is crazy,” they insisted.
