How to: Daenerys Targaryen Halloween Costume

Everything about Mother of Dragons is insanely awesome, from her costumes to her amazing hairstyles. She’s one of the most interesting characters in the show – strong, independent and beautiful. Her time with Dothraki people helped her build her strength to be a leader.

Dressing up as your favourite character at Halloween can be an amazing fun. In this article, we will show you how you can recreate Daenerys’ loook – from head to toe.

Hair

For a woman so busy conquering free cities, freeing slaves and playing the game of thrones, she definitely has some pretty impressive hairstyles.

Your hair probably isn’t silver, so you’ll need a wig. So far, Khaleesi rocked many amazing hairstyles. For a truly authentic look, try to copy one of the hairstyles below.

#1: Curly, Loose Hair

When we first saw Daenerys in the TV series, her hair was loose and long. It represented her innocence and youth.

#2: Wedding Hairstyle

At her wedding, Daenerys wears her hair in an interesting half updo hairstyle. It looks pretty simple to re-create.

#3: Dothraki Hairstyles

Daenerys’ adopted a more plaited style when she became on of the Dothraki’s. She has arguably had the most significant personal journey, and it is reflected in her hair and wardrobe. She probably keeps her hair out of her eyes so she can have a better view of the people she’ll conquer.

Makeup

She is a warrior so she’s always rocking a natural makeup with power brow look. Use primer, light foundation and concealer to achieve her flawless complexion. To make your brows bigger, use light brown brow powder or gel. Her eyes always look natural so don’t overdo your eye makeup. Use brown eyeshadow and a very thin line of eyeliner.

In the books, Daenerys has purple eyes so you can play with some color contact lenses. To finish your Daenerys makeup look, curl your eyelashes and apply mascara. Use nude or light pink lipstick for your lips.

Daenerys Stormborn has probably worn the widest variety of costumes in the series. Her costumes change with her transformation, from a naive princess, to a Dothraki Khalessi and now more and more towards a queen.

Daenerys’ first clothing looks were beautiful simple dresses. She was wearing long, romantic dresses in soft colors.

As she starts to fall in love with her husband, she adopts the dress of the Dothraki people. Her pretty silk dresses are replaced with Dothraki tribal style of clothing.

    How are those dragons attached to the costumes? I bought a Daenerys costume and 3 dragon figures, but am not sure how to attach them without ruining the costume by sewing them.
