I really like how the designers added lots of texture to the all black outfits. Black can look a little flat, but the texture keeps it visually interesting & reinforces their association with actual dragons.
Helaena’s velvet nightgown is so lush 🫶🏻 I love that they’ve reincorporated existing garments from S01 and GOT into this series. It feels more consistent with the world building. It is fantasy after all and not a historical documentary. I think that element of fantasy was kind of missing from S01 in the costumes. I think the structure of the ladies garments have also improved. Looking forward to coming episodes and eagerly awaiting your takes on them 🥰
Thanks so much Piatachio. I appreciate your comments.
Thanks so much for commenting Pistachio. We had Casta Hex on Thursday's livestream and he worked on the gold trim on that gown and gave us a bit more detail.
Rhaenyra's dragon riding leathers have always been my favorite outfits in the show next to Rhaenys' armor. Lovely video!
Thanks so much for commenting Aurora!
I like that we can see a clear difference between the Greens' and Blacks' costumes - and I'm not talking about the colour. The Blacks' costumes remind a lot of what Dany used to wear - possibly a reference to a Valyrian/Essosi style, while the Greens almost look like they've escaped from the Tudor era. Very cool.
Agreed on #1! I really appreciate the callbacks that Caroline has done for not just S1 of HotD but with GOT as well. I also love Jaces and surprisingly, Aegon II’s outfit. I noticed the fabric choice for his Green outfit right away during the ep so it’s nice to get more confirmation on the fabric being from S1. I hope we get more of Baela and Rhaena - so far, I wasn’t impressed with their ep 1 outfits.
Really looking forward to the rest of the season - we’ve only gotten a taste so far!
Thanks kitties!
"So I'm not sure what I was thinking that day" 😆 this is why youre the best youtuber !
I live up to my mistakes, haha!
the costumes are an improvement over season 1, but every time you do a side-by-side with michelle clapton's work, it's obvious how superior she is/was
She's the GOAT ☺️!
While true, I much prefer the black costumes from hotd to Got where every black costume seemed rather flat and one note.
I love that Caroline is more open to lend from the already existing material and costumes, may it be the first season of this show or GOT. It gives us more the feeling these two shows are in the same world - which I was missing in the first season. The fitting seem to be improved too. I am very hopefull!
Aaaand I am very very happy that Carragher is there to give the right amount of magic to the costumes!
Hi Aysun, always love seeing you here!
I totally agree 👏🏻
GOD, I wish i could be part of tonight's live stream, but I have rehearsal! 😭 I'll be with you in spirit!
We will have you soon.
Cant wait to hear what you think on the Stark costumes. I feel like they could have changed more. ALmost nothing changed in 140-150 years? Really? I mean, I like if they reused them
Yes, there is that...
@@Costume_CO I would think because the Starks are more traditional and up north away from cities and trade they wouldn't have big changes in outfits or armor. If it ain't broke kind of mentality.
Everyone looked amazing, the costumes were very well fitted, especially for Helaena, Alicent and Rhaenyra, Helaena and Alicent dresses especially looked very natural and blend well with the world of Westeros, they don't look like they are wearing costumes. The wigs were on point too, especially for Rhaenys, Rhaenyra and Helaena. Gorgeous details on Alicent's dress.
Hi fluffy, thanks so much for commenting! Casta Hex was on Thursday's livestream and he did the trim/embroidery detail on Alicent's green velvet gown in episode 2. We will have the back very soon for another stream.
@@Costume_CO Oh great! I was planning on rewatching the livestream during the weekend, the same I watched your livestreams last year for House of the Dragon and Rings of Power, it was so much fun. :)
I love Rhaenys riding attire. It would be cool to do a costume like that.
Are you a cosplayer?
I thought Tyland's costume would will this one lol, bro was dripping during that small council scene. I wonder what's your opinion on it and how you would rank it 🤔
Yes, he looked good!
Sorry, I ran out of time. I will try to get to the minor characters in future videos.
Thank you for such a well done video! I was waiting for your review to come out since the premier on Sunday, thank you for all the excellent details you put in. Also, what did you think about how they changed the opener? I LOVE the embroidery detail and how they are using this to tell the history, hope that you do a video on this also (if possible).
Hi goddess, I loved the opening. We had a discussion about it in our livestream last night.
This is probably really nit picky but I always feel like the women’s shoes are too modern looking, idk what it is about them 😂
Yeah, I wanted to say something about Alicents wedgies but I couldn't cram it in there! In GOTs the shoes were more spoon heeled or like Dany they wore boots.
I agree the wedge heels are very modern, but I believe Margaery’s wedding shoes were also a wedge, not that you could see them lol
Royals & the aristocracy DID wear pretty elevated shoes during the medieval period (more like platforms than a wedge ) to give them added height & also to be able to walk thru unpaved, filthy streets keeping their dresses from getting muddy. But yeah, the shoe looked a little modern especially the sole.
Great video
Looking forward to more episodes this Season
Thank you so much!
@@Costume_CO you’re very welcome
Love your costume videos so much!! ❤
Yay! Thank you!
@@Costume_CO❤❤
Stupid question, but what is the necklace, that Rhaenyra wears during the funeral of Lucerys? Is it supposed to be a dragon scale/ tooth?
Hi willy, not a stupid question at all! I can't quite figure it out but it looks like an abstracted dragon scale to me, similar to the scales on her gown. Last season, many of her jewelry pieces were from Ottoman hands, but I suspect that the new designer has her own sources.
Ahhh yes that makes sense, thank you :)
"Daemons muder cloak" lol :D
Can't take credit for it, but I think it's very fitting.
No love for Rhaenys' costume in ep 1?
It was the same armour as S1, but I will likely touch on her gambeson at another time.
Shouldn’t Alicent, at a minimum, be in mourning attire? It’s been like a week since her husband died.
Yeah, I didn't realize it was only like 10 days. Weird, huh?
". . . similar to Viserys and Aegon in Game of Thrones" - actually it was Rhaegar. Viserys and Rhaegar.
Yes, my bad.
@@Costume_COlol I have read the books and watched the shows too many times! 😂
Too many names, haha!
I will say, everyone must be wearing fake pennanular brooches. In every picture, the pin emerges from the fabric, in between the opening in the ring. If this was a real pennanular, the ring would be moving, and the fabric it’s supposed to be holding, would not stay. You’re supposed to rotate the ring about 90 degrees, so the pin crosses the ring to hold the fabric in place. Having worn quite a few correctly functioning pennanular brooches with pins as large as 7”, the poking end of the pin needs to be aimed away from the center of the body so you don’t poke yourself, or anyone else.
Hi Pat, likely this is a modern interpretation. I don't think Dany's dragon brooches were true pennanluar brooches either, more like the Tara Brooch.
I loved rhaenyra's gown! It was beautiful! It is believable as something she would wear! I'm not sute why, but i don't like alicent's gown at all! I wish they would do something with aegon's hair, it is terrible!
Aegon's hair is a choice. Maybe to differentiate him from Aemond?
@@Costume_CO Tom said in an interview I think that he talked with the team doing the wigs and decided they would intentionally make his hair messier like he just rolled out of bed to match the character. It does suit Aegon as a character I think. He throws on expensive doublets but doesn’t really care enough to do his hair. The set designers also said in a bts video that Aegon doesn’t have as much furniture in his rooms as Alicent and Helaena for a similar reason. He probably thinks those things are frivolous or too time consuming
Ah, i get it now!
Yes that's a great reason! I didn't think about it like that!
