The Game of Thrones costumes in Season 7 have been badass. The designers have definitely leveled up. Everyone seems to be wearing their battle-ready regalia. Cersei has ditched the Lannister red and gold for this amazing black brocade armor gown.

Dany embraced ’80s shoulder pads full-force this season, and quite honestly, the look really works for her. I’m pretty sure these help with dragon flight aerodynamics, mostly because I hope that episodes 5-7 are just dragons burning shit up. (The wig however, oh my god that wig.

Still though, where art thou direwolves?

Ursula lives at The Wall in Chicago and likes potatoes very much. You can follow her here.
