Quoting myself from another discussion because I think it's more relevant here: I found this interesting article about Sansa's hair and Game of Thrones: www.refinery29.com/2017/06/160094/sophie-turner-game-of-thrones-hair-secrets?utm_source=huffpostent&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=pubexchange_article From an interview she did: It goes on to talk about how her hair mimicked Cersei's and then Margaery's while she was in King's Landing, etc. We've talked about how her dresses also were symbolic statements about herself and whatever situation she was going through. So in Season 7, we're seeing Sansa's hair long and straight without much braiding or adornment. Is this symbolic of her going back to her 'natural self' as a Northerner? Her 'armor' dress is quite ornate for northern wear and of course I've already pointed out her chain and needle necklace (which many don't like) is symbolic of her "sewing as her weapon" ... disguising her true self for political gains via her costumes and hairstyles ...

This outfit makes me think of Sansa in terms of Queen in the North. Her hair is reminiscent of Cat in Season one - no muss, no fuss, straightforward like Northerners themselves. The dress does have an armor quality that shows her resolve to the world at large. She may not fight in the battles, but she wants to be included in the discussions. And I happen to like the new necklace, it would make a wonderful garrote.

I love Dany's new outfits. It makes so much sense! 1. She's riding a black dragon, so her darker outfits will blend in in battle and not make her a target 2. She's riding a dragon so sturdier and heavier materials are more practical and will protect her. 3. It's winter now 4. She's not a little princess anymore, the end of her Mereen arc symbolises her embrace of the 'dragon' as a conqueror. Let's not forget Arya has a beautiful new Northern outfit. She looks just like Ned

belle I think that's her coronation dress just without the shoulder things. Looks cool either way.

The new Pop Funko Cersei that's coming out should have totally had a glass of wine in her hand.

I said this in another thread, but this costume (now seen in better lighting) is absolutely stunning in it's subtle under-stated tones and patterns. This is the dress of a woman in full command of herself and her people. Long gone are the frilly things she wore in Essos and not just because it's colder in Westeros but because those were the cloth types and patterns of a girl, not a woman, and certainly not a Queen preparing to go to war. Daenerys Stormborn is MY Queen. Also worth noting again how similar this costume is to the concept art of Rhaegar ... it's a beautiful easter egg for us Rhaegar fans!

I agree this is a much better picture of the dress. The pleated underskirt has almost a brownish tint to it, and the red seems to shine black at certain angles. Just like Drogon's scales, the look changes depending on what direction and what light you look through. A fitting tribute to the beloved brother she never knew and the dragon who is her spirit animal.

While all of the characters are dressed much differently this season, I have to say Cersei's shocking transformation (which we got to see by the end of Season 6) is by far the most dramatic. The black with ornate beadwork, plates and spikes is amazing. Really. It's just stunning. I think it was you who was saying you miss Dany in her more exotic Essos costumes and colors. But look at Cersei! She used to wear such luxurious brocades, florals and gold damask type dresses that were the trademark of Westerosi royalty in King's Landing. Now look at her... strikingly ornate while at the same time dark and ominous. Losing the last of her children really did complete her transformation to the dark side.

Losing the last of her children really did complete her transformation to the dark side. i do think the dark and elegant/badass look fits cersei much better than dany. part of it is that i think emilia is a bit tinier than lena so i feel like some of her season 7 costumes is too much for her frame. like this for example: and the other is that since cersei is the ~evil queen~, i think that kind of dramatic OTT look works for her better. I do like Dany's black and red rhaegar outfit and i think grey dress/coat is decent. its sansa's season 7 look that i hate. hideous imo lol.

I can agree with this for some of them and maybe it's just the lighting and angle that makes it look worse. That EW photo for example is "real life" (off-screen) so it looks more costume-ish, the way you see people do with CosPlay outfits they made themselves in a way. But still, you're right about Emilia's build being so petite it's harder for her to pull off this darker, more militaristic style they're going for this season with all of the characters. Lena is longer in frame and build and with a more mature cut to her face - of course she pulls off Cersei's dramatic looks (and royal costumes) better than Emilia who lets face it, is just so cute and petite. Essos costumes worked far better for her.
