  • Sansa Stark and Cersei Lannister.

  • Two of Game of Thrones quintessential enemies.

  • Despite being on opposing sides of Westeros, they have one thing in common: their clothing.

  • In the final season of the show, days before the Battle of Winterfell, both wear high braced

  • necklines, draped chains,

  • sculptural shoulders that evoke armor, even stud work along a central ridge detail.

  • Their costumes are as connected as their plotlines for most of the show.

  • And while some of the details can get lost in the show's dark motif,

  • If you look closely, you'll see how their much their parallel outfits mirror their struggles

  • for power and identity.

  • CERSEI: And your dress.

  • Did you make it?

  • [SANSA nods] CERSEI: Such talent.

  • You must make something for me.

  • Take a look at Cersei's outfit here, at King's Landing in Season 1.

  • Michelle Claptonthe show's Emmy award-winning costume designer

  • dressed Cersei in a lot of lightweight, pastel dresses in the first two seasons - pinks,

  • pale purple, turquoise.

  • Within the story, these dresses suggested a feminine queen in understated luxury.

  • But to the audience, they often signaled moments she seemed powerless.

  • TYRION: Now the entire North has risen up against us.

  • CERSEI: I tried to stop it.

  • TYRION: Did you?

  • You failed.

  • Cersei's pastels play against her Lannister red dresses to contrast her moments of power

  • CERSEI: Seize him.

  • Cut his throat.

  • Wait.

  • I've changed my mind, let him go.

  • with the colors she wore in her moments of helplessness.

  • Like this turquoise dress she wears while watching her daughter Myrcella being sent

  • away to Dorne.

  • Around the same time, Sansa was a hostage of the crown, at the mercy of the Lannisters

  • wearing dresses that mirrored her captor Cersei.

  • The oversized, pastel hand-me-downs do the same thing for her that they did for Cersei

  • reflect her lack of power.

  • Your grace, whatever my traitor brother has done I had no part, you know that.

  • I beg you, please!”

  • They're both at sea, drowning in light-colored fabric, and unable to change

  • their circumstances.

  • The Battle of Blackwater changed all of that.

  • Before the battle, Cersei was dressed in the most Lannister outfit she could find:

  • a red dress with Lannister lions, and an ornamental breastplate with, you guessed it,

  • Lannister lions.

  • It didn't end up being very effective for morale,

  • The battle is lost your grace.”

  • But it was a show of house power, and Sansa's costuming followed suit.

  • In the wake of the battle, Sansa donned her own version of a house color: purple.

  • It wasn't Stark blue, but it gave her more identity than her pastel hostage hand-me-downs

  • without rocking the boat too much around the red Lannisters.

  • It's an early example of a character dressing insurvival camouflage,” to blend in

  • with those who pose a threat.

  • But Sansa's costuming also shows how she's begun to assert herselfthis Stark scarf

  • under her gowns is a subtle nod to home.

  • Cersei's season 3 clothes doubled down on Lannisterism, as she assumed the role of Queen

  • Mother: red everywhere, increasingly ornate fabrics,

  • and lion sigil armor and jewelry.

  • You're a clever man, but not half as clever as you think you are.”

  • And later in the season, Sansa's costuming echoed this shift at her wedding to Tyrion

  • Lannister.

  • You may now cloak the bride and bring her under your protection.”

  • Her gown was Sansa purple, but with armored panniers — a distinctly Cersei touch.

  • And the show's embroiderer, Michelle Carragher, included some tricky embellishments,

  • Featuring lions overcoming Stark wolves.

  • The embroidered scene mimicked the way Cersei' Lannister lion signaled authority

  • but made sure there was something Stark on Sansa's dress, too.

  • Their dueling sigils show how much Sansa had already learned from Cersei about using clothing

  • to signal alliances.

  • An especially important skill moving forward.

  • In season 4, as the two characters divergewith Cersei vying for power behind the

  • throne, and Sansa grappling with her identitythose signature colors begin to disappear.

  • Cersei goes dark as she mourns her son, Joffrey.

  • How dark?

  • Well, that house sigil is either studded with skulls or half-rotted, so... Pretty damn dark.

  • Sansa's transformation happens after Petyr Baelish rescues her from King's Landing

  • and her new circumstances prompt a dress so important we see her making it.

  • Technically, the dress signaled Sansa going

  • undercover as Petyr's “daughter.”

  • “I know what you want."

  • "Do you?”

  • But the detailsstraight sleeves like Baelish's coats, feathers evoking his nickname,

  • the Mockingbird,” and a gunmetal palettewere pivotal, reflecting Sansa's keen

  • awareness of survival camouflage.

  • A skill she learned under Cersei.

  • Even their necklaces are echoes, a little piece of armor at the throat.

  • As Cersei and Sansa begin to reassert their power around season 6,

  • their gowns become increasingly stiff and severe

  • and house loyalty returns to their costuming with a vengeance.

  • During Sansa's Northern tour in season 6 to rally support against Ramsay Bolton,

  • she wears the Westerosi version of a graphic tee, Stark direwolf front and center.

  • JON: New dress?

  • SANSA: I made it myself, do you like it?

  • JON: I like the wolf bit.

  • The outfit is a clear indicator of how far she's come into her own power

  • evidenced as she watches Ramsay being eaten by his own dogs.

  • The same way Cersei's sigil signified authority after her violent bid for the throne.

  • With no further use for the survival camouflage of feminine queen or splendid Queen Mother,

  • Cersei's gowns echo Lannister armor, with high-necked silhouettes in forbidding fabrics,

  • and defensive details like epauletsreminders of the family's military might.

  • And by the time Sansa's back in Winterfell on her own terms in season 7,

  • Her wardrobe is high-necked silhouettes in forbidding fabrics.

  • The epaulets and signature necklace echo Stark armor, while feathers represent her time with Baelish,

  • reflecting the Stark family's prestige and the cunning she uses to govern the North.

  • Since the women parted at the Purple Wedding, they've kept pace with each otherstrategically

  • SANSA: Cersei told you her army was coming north to fight for you?

  • TYRION: She did.

  • SANSA: And you believed her?

  • and visually.

  • And by the show's final season, Sansa and Cersei have amassed different kinds of authority

  • and have taken different lessons to heart about what wins a war.

  • SANSA: While I ensured our stores would last through winter, I didn't account for Dothraki,

  • Unsullied and two full-grown dragons.

  • CERSEI: Twenty-thousand men, is it?

  • HARRY: Yes, Your Grace.

  • CERSEI: And elephants?

  • HARRY: Uh, no elephants, Your Grace.

  • CERSEI: That's disappointing.

  • Despite the diverging plotlines, as both of them enter the final battle,

  • their costumes show their similarities rather than emphasize their differences.

  • In the end, they stand on opposite sides, with their costumes clearly echoing each other.

  • And as the show draws to a closeit's safe to say those parallels are there for a reason.
