The 50 most iconic looks from Game of Thrones
Foreign Queen (season 8)
Daenerys’ white fur coat is one of the most iconic fashion pieces from the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, and it’s one that viewers see her wearing some version of repeatedly. It’s also symbolic of her character arc during the last season, representing what eventually leads her to becoming the villain of the story: her status as an outsider.
Throughout the final episodes of the show, Daenerys struggles to cope with the fact that most of the people in Westeros oppose her rule — or if they don’t oppose it, they certainly don’t actively want her to become the queen. This is new for her, especially after winning the respect and adoration of the Dothraki, Unsullied and slaves of Essos during her conquests overseas.

Wearing a stark white coat in the North, where most people cover themselves with heavy, dark cloaks, makes Daenerys stand out. It’s representative of just how different she is from those she wants to follow her. It emphasizes why most of the lords and ladies of Westeros will never truly rally behind her: she’s not like them, nor does she understand their customs or traditions.
Funnily enough, the alternate versions of this coat become darker in color as the season goes on, giving it a tarnished look that underscores what the queen is going through. Dany has a rough time in season 8, losing her most trusted advisor, closest friend, another dragon, and her claim to the Iron Throne. Her wear and tear is reflected in her wardrobe.
