For a Westerosi meet-cute with your warmongering, horse-lord fiancé, a pale pink V-neck dress with a kicky hem is sure to flatter—and the sheer fabric certainly does make an impression. Similar figure-hugging dresses were spotted all over the spring runways, but Carol Lim and Humberto Leon tested the look’s versatility: Sporty mesh and blue sci-fi shades, with platinum hair slicked forward: Khaleesi meets Blade Runner.

While you don’t want to stray too far from your personal style (gauzy, delicate) for your Dothraki wedding, you do want eyes to stay on you, rather than the orgy and heap of disemboweled bodies in front of you. In such cases, your best bet is clearly a flowing gown with an upgraded bodice. **Sarah Burton’**s tiered chiffon ruffles and beaded halter top were a more intricate take on the Khaleesi’s gown, while the black lacquer mask paid homage to a certain shadowbinder friend.

So, you just walked into a burning funeral pyre and found three hungry baby dragons—dare to go bare! Nudity always makes a strong style statement: I’m here, I have no fear, look up here. Designers like Thomas Tait followed suit with see-through shirts that freed the nipple, but just wait until fall—Gucci and Jacquemus would argue that the fresh from the bonfire, Mother of Dragons look is here to stay.

It’s been months since you entered the desert, and your horses and people are dying from thirst and exhaustion. A fraying crop top and loose tattered work pants, paired with your bedraggled platinum do, cut a modish take on grunge against the hot sands. For spring, Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida cleaned things up a bit, replacing the blood stains with gems and adding a pair of cheeky sunglasses—a Dothraki spin on desert chic.

Sometimes, a girl-queen just wants to pull her hair back, relax, and teach her dragons how to breath fire on command. A long-sleeve, linen wrap dress oozes comfort, but the rich camel color and decorative closure keep it from looking plain Jane. Equally cozy and indulgent, Stella McCartney’s ribbed knit version was fit for a Qarthian palace and for shouting, “Dracarys!”
