The 25 Best Looks From Game of Thrones Season 5

2. Margaery’s (Third) Wedding Gown
As I’ve said before, weddings are where this show really pulls out all the stops when it comes to costuming. That’s true even when it comes to a hasty montage of a wedding like Margaery’s third set of nuptials in four seasons. And while her wedding to Tommen might not have taken up the entire back half of an episode, it was still a royal affair, and the gowns and images from it had to at least rival her second wedding to Joffrey.
So how did they choose to differentiate this one? It’s part and parcel with Margaery’s determination to make herself visually one with Tommen. She got married to Joffrey in a gown that screamed pride in her own House, and a determination to be a wife who was still a proud Tyrell, all blue and roses and thorns. This time, she wears a gown that speaks of how she is cleaving to her new (and perhaps last) husband, in Baratheon gold and brown, with swirled armor like appliques, as if to say “come and take this position from me if you dare.”
