Daenerys Targaryen — Season 7–8 Westerosi Regalia

The look

Daenerys' later Westerosi wardrobe marks one of the largest visual shifts in the series. She moves away from the blues and lighter colors associated with her Essos years and adopts black, grey, structured silhouettes and subtle red details associated with House Targaryen. The costume therefore feels more like royal armor than the flowing clothing of her earlier seasons. The costume should feel commanding and deliberate. Avoid adding excessive fantasy armor that isn't present in the television design. The shift toward black, grey and red was deliberately used to visually connect Daenerys with House Targaryen after her years of adopting the styles of the cultures she encountered.

Base costume
