HOTD: Top Ten Most Compelling Costumes

it was fourth not third episode.
simon may be wearing an open hand( and all that it implies as you describe ) but in his castle in same scene there are black goats and dogs that look like rugs.

You guys were able to see through the tears? 😅

Isn'tthe palm for the order of the greenhand secret society ? the sign of house gardener?

I really liked the shape of Rhaenys‘ headpiece, but I thought its texture clashed with the one of her armor.

The hand on Simon Strong's chain is part of House Strong's sigil, I think.

Thank you for this video Heidi & Justin!
I really think Daemon´s two shirts/nightgowns are the same and it is amazing! But really, I screamed when I saw Simon Strong´s attire. We finally see some rich fabrics and color on the men!
I also loved Rhaeny´s headpiece and you are right, it looks like a new interpretation of those period pieces. I like that it looks kinda different to the rest of the armor but at the same time fitting enough to the details of the rest.
I laughed when I saw young Rhaenyra in that familiar looking gown, like they said we can take something old and do it kinda better. I love it.
My honorable mention goes to Aegon - his armor looks more complete and more fitted now and still kinda wrong on him and I think that is intentional.
All in all I am really happy about the improvements in the costuming department. The fitting is better, there are more subtle details that fit the characters, the embroidery is to die for (as always) and the structures in the fabric choices are complemtenting the cuts and the embroidery and also the jewelry.

I just thought Rhaenys was wearing that head piece to keep her hair out of her face. I could use a fancy headband like that when I'm doing my makeup in the morning! :D

Heidi, thank you for another excellent video! The end of this destroyed me, too soon to lose such an incredible character 😢

you pronouncing gombíky was the cutest thing ever :D the word literally translates to buttons, so when you said gombíky buttons I was taken aback because you basically said "buttons buttons" ahaha (I´m from Slovakia btw, similar language)

I think rhaenys not only looked beautiful but fierce and comfortable. I feel like last season Rhaenys always looked uncomfortable and stiff in her armor

Absolutely loved Alys Rivers's and Simon Strong's outfits. Perfect for a dilapidated haunted castle IMO.

Rhaeny's headpiece seemed a bit of a call back to young Rhaenera's headpiece from her oath of fealty scene. I know there's differences in shape and materials but I feel like it ties them together as two women who could be queens.

I’d love to have my own versions of Daemon’s pajamas, and Rhaenys’ dark grey outfit. ❤️

Please will you comment on where to get the boots that many of the characters wear. They seem to be a common style within the GOT universe. I have searched but cannot find anything similar

Ser Simon was very well-dressed, we need more distinguished gentlemen like him! Hadn’t noticed that Aemond’s ambush outfit was dark green - it’s beautiful. The fact that it’s so close to black, associated with Rhaenyra, reminds me of his comment to Cole about Alicent blaming him for starting a war when they had already usurped Rhaenyra’s throne. Aemond is clever, I think he sees things as they are and knows that, yes, he’s fighting for his family but is he also uncertain that it’s the right thing? I think a standout look for me was Rhaenyra’s simple, beautiful braid when she returns to Dragonstone. We rarely see her look so simply put together. Rhaenys’ riding coat is simply exquisite!

Really enjoyed Rhaenys’ outfits this episode. The detailing on the lapel was nice. I thought the bead work on her French Hood (?) was interesting. I felt like it might have just been in lieu of a helmet. But the hat pins she’d need to secure it on during dragon flight must be made of Valyrian steel 😂

Simons drip is mighty impressive considering its Westeros in medieval times 😅😅😅😅

I would love to see all examples of embroidery in better detail. I’m certain that the deadline/pay scale pressure is immense, but it is a bit of a bucket list dream to stitch for such remarkable costumes. ❤

The head piece for Rhaenys armor I'd be more inclined to think of it as a battle tiara. Because it just screams warrior princess and gave her a very regal look. I realize this is just my humble opinion, but there you go.

Everything is so dark and dull (i miss flamboyant arts of Carragher)

Not HoTD related, but have you seen the Mongolian Olympic costumes? The embroidery is fantastic

I think the young Rhaenyra outfit and crown looking too big on her was on purpose. It's to show how Daemon not only will always see her as a child (yuck!), but that the burden of the crown and her inheritance was too big for her and that she was not suited for it.

Ser Simon is such a fun character. The funds needed for Harrenhal are clearly going into his wardrobe. Lol. You could do one episode on his costume alone. Amazing.
