While Daenerys Targaryen’s character was first portrayed as innocent, naïve and delicate, she evolved to become a wise, strong headed and courageous woman. For this costume we will be focusing on Daenerys Targaryen as a strong and elegant female.

You can either purchase a light turquoise color full length dress from a store or you can take you scissors out and make yourself a dress out of blue fabric. As you may have noticed the dress sits very relaxed on the body so with just some simple arrangements you can make yourself a replica from the TV show.

You may have noticed that Daenerys Targaryen’s dress flows like a cape. You can add this effect to your dress by wearing a blue, thin scarf and letting it fall down your back.

The main elements of this dress are the golden accessories she wears around her waist, shoulders and arms. For Daenerys Targaryen’s golden belt, you can make yourself one with hot glue following a set pattern and then painting it gold. Alternatively, you can use a metal gold belt.

For the shoulders you can cut pieces of a leather belt, paint them gold and then glue them onto your dress.

You can complete the accessories by wearing some golden bracelets and arm cuffs; as well as, golden hanging earrings and maybe a few golden rings.

Last but not least, we couldn’t forget about Daenerys Targaryen’s blond bleached hair. You may go all in and bleach your hair or alternatively use a wig. You want to slightly curl your hair and let it sink out into soft waves. You can choose to braid some of your hair by following some of her most beautiful hair styles.

Daenerys Targaryen doesn’t wear a lot of makeup but we do suggest that you focus on your eyebrows in order to bring some personality to your face.

Add a good layer of foundation. Get a powder that is two shades darker than your skin tone and contour the sides of your nose and brush under the cheekbones. Apply a nude lipstick tone and a dark brown eye-shadow for the whole lid. Apply a lighter, golden tone to the lower eyelid.

Complete your costume by pairing up with someone that wants to dress up as your dragon or maybe wants to arrive to the party dressed up as the iconic King Jon Snow.

You can also purchase a toy dragon to take with you to the party or even create some dragon eggs with paper mache.
