How Game of Thrones’s Newest Characters Are Stepping Up the Look of Warrior Woman Style, After weeks of black mourning gowns and sackcloth tunics, the fifth season of Game of Thrones was starting to look all-too somber—even for Westeros. Enter the Sand Snakes: three fierce fighters from Dorne, whose appearance tonight brings a fresh take on how a Westerosi woman goes into battle.
Three years ago, we first fell in love with Brienne of Tarth, who has handily grappled with three of the best swordsmen in the Seven Kingdoms. In full metal plate, she armored herself like a man to survive on the battlefield. Then, there’s Daenerys.
As our khaleesi turned conqueror, she sacked cities in bright blue dresses layered over practical pants, then handled statecraft in ethereal Grecian gowns.
The Sand Snakes have it both ways. From a wispy silk slip dress over suede trousers to twin leather breastplates, the Dornish look is about natural fabrics and exposing enough skin to catch your enemy off guard—bare arms, the décolletage.
Colors are vivid (burnt orange, tasseled pashminas, draped over black horses) and leather harnesses, belts, and cuffs are stacked high. They come dressed to kill—just look at their leader, Ellaria, and the gold serpent bracelet coiled around her right wrist—and match the warrior queen mood floating through fashion right now. And yes, there are stylish ways to take the look of Dorne into the real world: jewelry labels like Mania Mania and Pamela Love, whose thick metal cuffs, dagger earrings, and serpent bangles are practically battle-ready—just add breastplate.
