An In-depth Analysis of the Costumes of Daenerys Targaryen in “Game of Thrones”

Daenerys Targaryen who was on the other side of the world seemed to be living in another dimension. So her style completely jumped out of the rules and regulations of ancient costumes, which was a free creation.

Before turning on the switch of the Queen, Daenerys was bullied by her brother and forced to marry Khal Drogo, a chieftain of a Dothraki khalasar. Two fluttering tulle dresses set off a weak and helpless girl Daenerys.

The left and middle ones are date dresses to show Drogo the mature body of Daenerys. The picture on the right is the wedding dress of Daenerys.

The Dothraki are a nomadic people with a low level of civilization. They dress in response to the call of nature, with animal skins wrapped around their lower bodies and hay-woven tops.

The one-sided shoulder armor of the dragon mother in the middle picture is for the baby dragon.

After relying on recruiting a large number of Srakis, Daenerys officially made great strides on the road of the queen. The first stop she came to was the port city of Qarth, which was wealthy.

The local tyrant of Qarth prepared this exotic blue dress for her. It is the most popular costume among fans. There is a cicada on the waist of Daenerys. People in Qarth love to decorate their clothes with insects. So is Gucci.

In fact, this piece is not exclusive to Daenerys. It is the traditional costume of the women in Qarth. Almost all the female guests at the party wore the same style. The only difference is the color.

In the original novel, the clothes of Qarth people have to show a chest. The designer designed a set of topless clothes. But later, the team felt it would distract the audience, so they changed it to the current style.

The decorative armor with a hole in the chest can not play a protective function, but at least it looks bluffing. By the way, Daenerys was on it the first time she successfully trained the dragon to defeat her opponent.

Many Qarth female guests at the party wore the pierced gold armor in the left and middle pictures. Perhaps inspired by the dress, Daenerys was keen to dig holes in the clothes for a long time.

After making her first pot of gold, Daenerys upgraded her wardrobe in the third season. The classic blue dress shape is also here.

In fact, there are two blue skirts with the texture of dragon scales, both of which are backless. The left is more casual, and the right has more embroidery and gold beads.

In the fifth season, we can see the look of Daenerys even became popular in the continent of Essos.

To cut to the chase, Daenerys started to wear jewelry after having money, although it was still the rugged style of the primitive.

Daenerys has worn the ring in the left picture since the first episode of the first season. It is a relic of her mother. (I can not believe that the heirloom ring of Queen Targaryen is so unkempt.)

The ring is from Gloria Carlos, a London-based handmade jewelry brand. The snake tongue bracelet worn by Daenerys in the right picture is also from the brand. It looks like broken copper and iron, but actually very expensive. The ring and bracelet are nearly $700.

Well, the boss got rich, which glories her subordinates. Big Bear followed Daenery and got his excellent employee benefits, and a new set of armor.

He put on a new suit of sophisticated equipment with a dragon embossed on the shoulder and the bear on his family coat.

Why two belts? The upper one is used to fix armor, and the other one is used to hang swords and knives.

With the improvement of political strength and the increase of titles, Daenerys has more and more foreign and domestic affairs. That is to say, she needs new outfits to meet various people.

Three simple halter neck dresses. The collar is not for good looking but to imitate the dress of slaves to experience the life of the underclass.

When she was the queen of Meereen, her clothes can constitute a complete series.

Each piece of clothing in the series has a common theme. By arranging and combining different elements, the differences between each piece are easy to see, but they are closely related. In the whole drama, only Daenerys's clothes can do this.

Even if the same style with a hole in the chest and double slits are in different colors, materials, and collocations.

Daenerys's wardrobe has a practical reference value. We can find that she matches the worn clothes and accessories separately to create a new look.

Another new look~

This picture is just a promotional photo for "Entertainment Weekley". The look did not appear in GoT.

The two cloak dresses she wore when watching the battle in the Arena of Meereen are still not outdated.

The two cloak dresses she wore while watching the Meereen arena are not outdated even now.

The pure white and overly modern shape try to create a sense of alienation that Daenerys is incompatible with the arena environment. Because Daenerys advocated the abolition of slavery, but reality forced her to watch slave competition.

Since the fifth season, the designer Michele Clapton has collaborated with London-based Yunus & Eliza to design a lot of jewelry for Daenerys. Last year, they established a brand MEY, which mainly sells official GoT-authorized peripherals. The dragon choker on the left is on their official website www.mey.london, priced at RMB 18,000. Trembling, mortal? There are more expensive ones.

Starting from the Dothraki Khaleesi, all the looks of Daenerys, no matter how grand and dignified the outside, are always paired with trousers and boots so that she can escape easily at any time.

During the captivity of the Dothraki tribe, they once again conquered the group of superstitious Dothraki people through her fire prevention skills. From the new Dothraki styles, we can see what Daenerys eat is very good during that time.

Returning to Dragonstone Island, the military strength has risen sharply. Daenerys's dress has become tougher. The red and black colors of the Targaryen crest first appeared. Her brother Viserys contributed to her new look.

The wonderful combination of a military coat and pleated skirt can be regarded as an upgraded version of Meereen's style. Daenerys sometimes alternately match different cloaks.

When Jon Snow was in trouble, Daenerys ways supported him. It seemed she left at will, but I think she had planned it long ago. Otherwise, how could Daenerys put on the new fur suit for the ice and snow in a minute?

The material is faux fur. GoT has been criticized by the Animal Protection Association for many years. The designer dares to disclose the material only when using fake fur.

The negotiation look in the last episode is the same style as the look above. Winter was coming. The coat had a furry inner liner, so it looked warm.

Daenerys wore three-headed dragon accessories in the seventh season (I did not capture a clear picture of the hair clip on the left). The keel body chain she has been wearing for one season is on MEY's official website. And the price is a shocking $350.

Emilia Clarke, who played the dragon mother, had brown hair and wore wigs in GoT. She had a total of 4 tops which she used in rotation. Her hair color did not exactly follow the original silver-white, because it would make her look old. We can find out that the wig of Daenerys is light blonde.

When enlarging the hairline in the high-definition picture, we can find the lace net on the edge of the wig.

The actors of Cersei, Little Rose, and Melisandre all use wigs. These wigs are made of real hair and then customized according to the actor's head shape, completely able to fake the real thing. The most expensive one cost 7,000 dollars. There are 20 or 30 wags in the crew. I think the cost of wigs will exceed 14 billion dollars.

Although Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys, had a relatively short body shape, the designer tried them best to maximize her strengths and avoid weaknesses. For example, they use the cloak to cover her thick arms and show the waist through tailoring. Then most of the time, we did not notice Emilia's shortcomings.

Moreover, she has a variety of styles. And the overall is coherent. Of course, it is because of the protagonist's halo.
