Halloween Is Coming! Here’s What You Need To Create Your Own Game Of Thrones Halloween Costume
August 21, 2018 by Lisa Cupido
HBO’s award-winning Game of Thrones is about to enter its eighth and final season. Rather than lament the end of an incredible show, this DIY Game of Thrones Halloween costume celebrates two strong female characters that have evolved so much over the years, yet remain incredibly complex and interesting: Daenerys, Khaleesi Mother of Dragons, and Sansa Stark.
The Best DIY Game Of Thrones Halloween CostumeSimilar to how these two characters have changed as the result of taking on challenges and being forced to succumb to the will of other male characters, their wardrobes have also shifted from season to season to reflect their worlds.
A Daenerys Game Of Thrones Halloween Costume:In season one of Game of Thrones, Daenerys, played by Emilia Clarke, is a beauty with very little power. Her clothing, which includes plenty of flowing, Grecian goddess gowns, reflects her status. As Daenerys’ power increases and she becomes a bona fide warrior, her clothing style shifts to more structured dresses with severe shoulder padded capes and a signature palette of deep red and black.
A Sansa Stark Game Of Thrones Halloween Costume:Sansa Stark, played by Sophie Turner, is a Northern girl through and through. At the show’s start, she is often portrayed wearing cool shades of ice blue, ruffles that prove her high status, and feminine details like floral appliqués and wide sleeves. The eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell and Lady Catelyn is a victim of abuse at the hands of characters like King Joffrey. A romantic, naive woman at heart, she slowly learns to adapt and harden in order to survive, and in the process, her ruffles and pale blues give way to deep purples, gold (who can forget that wedding dress?!), and dark, somber shades of black and grey with cloaks and furs that will come in handy when she needs to wage and win wars.
No matter which character you choose to emulate on Halloween, these pieces from Amazon will help, and they won’t cost you a fortune. In honor of GoT’s eighth season, we stuck by Daenerys and Sansa’s latest style choices.
