The 10 most powerful looks from The Wheel of Time season 2

6. Lanfear: Massacre chic

Lanfear is pretty much the reason this list exists, so I thank her. Ever since we learn who Selene really is at the end of Episode 204, it’s clear she was going to be a lot of fun. Vampy, campy and incredibly powerful, Selene goes where she wants and does what she wants. And in Episode 207, she wants to burn down the Foregate in Cairhien while wearing stylish battle armor.

This outfit pretty much speaks for itself. Lanfear is obviously dressed for battle, but her armor and bracers are gilded and glittering, because she isn’t just a diehard warrior for the dark: she’s fancy and classy. And the mantle-cape thing she wears around her shoulders adds a touch of softness.

The dark makeup and slicked-back hair also add to the vibe: Lanfear is in battle mode, but she’s still going to make sure she’s presentable.

Splendid as Lanfear’s outfits are, credit must also go to Natasha O’Keeffe for wearing them to perfection. Anyone can put on a glittering set of evil armor, but not everyone has the conviction to pull them off. O’Keeffe does.

5. Rand sees red

This is one of the simpler outfits on this list, but I wanted to include it because Rand’s red coat is such an iconic look for him in The Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan. I know book-readers everywhere raised their eyebrows when he came onscreen wearing this.

And you know, not every outfit needs to be designed to within an inch of its life. Red is a great color, the color of fire, the color of the Dragon Reborn. The coat has some cool designs running down the collar and the sleeves, but they don’t overwhelm the man wearing it. The Dragon doesn’t have to dress elaborately to command a room. Whatever he wears becomes a symbol of authority, and this coat is no different.
