One Character, Different Costumes: Daenerys Targaryen

It's Wednesday and that means it'stime to look at the many various ways you can cosplay a single character. Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones has worn several outfits now but seems to have a couple of primary ensembles each season. In the first season, it was the flowing silver wedding dress and her Dothraki garb. Since then we've seen her in a bright blue wrap and watched her adapt to the styles of Qarth and Meereen.

Even if dozens of cosplayers have dressed as Daenerys, you can still put your own stamp on her look just by being you. Here are a handful of examples of different Dany costumes to inspire you:

Unburnt Daenerys Targaryen cosplayed by Alice/SlyphinesBane, photo by Ted/Eminence Rain. I love that she included ash makeup with her cosplay of Dany's fresh out of the fire look.

Book inspired Daenerys cosplayed by Kristine/TophWei, photo by Y.Ivanov. Ahhh, purple eyes! Going with a book version of Dany will give you more flexibility and you don't really have to worry about being screen accurate.
