The Game of Thrones Studio Tour is basically a Game of Thrones museum that features props, costumes and even full sets from the show. Located at Linen Mill Studios in Banbridge, Northern Ireland about 30 minutes from Belfast, it’s the ultimate destination for a Game of Thrones fan. Walk through the Red Keep, the Winterfell Great Hall, and more sets as you admire weapons and outfits worn by your favorite characters, including the Starks of Winterfell.
A Stark family costume display is the latest exhibit to up on the Game of Thrones Studio Tour. It’s modeled on the moment from the series premiere where the Starks assemble to greet King Robert Baratheon, who’s come to Winterfell to ask patriarch Ned Stark to serve as his Hand.
So it as on TV, so it is in real life:
Game of Thrones Studio Tour gets new Stark family costume exhibit
The Game of Thrones Studio Tour also broke down all of the costumes now on display:
- Ned Stark: Ned’s costume is practical and sombre, echoing his serious character. Heavy wools, furs and leather worn by the Stark family are needed for the hard life in Winterfell. As a man of the people, Ned’s clothing is relatively simple, the only sign of status is his heavy wool cloak with fur pelt, giving him his iconic silhouette.
- Sansa Stark: Shown to be a keen seamstress, Sansa perfects her sewing skills through the seasons beginning with this simple blue silk dress. Simple but beautiful embroidery decorates this relatively modest dress, the colour of which sets her apart from others in her family and suggests the young, naïve Sansa wants to seem more sophisticated and mature.
- Robb Stark: Often referred to as ‘The Young Wolf’, Robb’s costume emulates that of his father Ned, with his brown leather doublet, and his cloak and fur only slightly smaller than that of his father. Eldest of the family and destined to lead but only just out of boyhood, Robb’s costume gives little away to the man he later becomes.
- Catelyn Stark: A fiercely protective wife and mother, Catelyn Stark hails from the wealthy House Tully and maintains her sophistication in Winterfell. She wears a traditional Stark undershirt beneath a gown of a grey-green colour that recalls the region of her birthplace in the Riverlands of Westeros. The silver fish clasp on her coat repeats the House Tully Sigil. and alongside the delicate embroidery on her cloak show her prodigious social standing within The North.
- Arya Stark: The antithesis of her sister Sansa, Arya is not one for dresses or sewing. It is not long before she shows her determination to emulate the bravery of her brothers, and this simple Stark blue knotted gown is soon replaced with a more masculine look.
- Bran Stark: The Sigil of House Stark, a Direwolf, can be seen proudly worn on Bran’s cloak. Bran is still a boy, learning much from his father and older brothers. His costume has a softer feel with linen doublet and warm tan moleskin trousers, indicating he is still yet a child.
- Rickon Stark: Simplicity runs through the costumes of the Stark men and Rickon is no exception. Youngest of the Stark family his costume is less encumbered than that of his older siblings, his cloak shorter and not as heavy, and the lighter hues suggest a more childlike quality.
