The game itself may be over, but the Game of Thrones costumes abound. Yes, HBO’s epic fantasy came to an end in 2019, and the characters have gone from Sunday-night staples to Halloween muses. And with season after season full of shocking character arcs (we’re looking at you, Mad Queen!); triumphant returns (you just don’t age, Melisandre!); surprising romances (Brienne and Jaime, you broke our hearts!), and beloved badass heroes (namely the GOAT of GoT, Arya Stark!), there’s no shortage of killer Halloween ideas.
Sure, the final season may have been somewhat controversial, but there’s no denying that George R.R. Martin’s Westeros universe was all but designed for an October 31st revival. And since the night is dark and full of terrors, don’t be afraid to channel the gorier side of the Seven Kingdoms and go full White Walker, or bring back to life one of the beloved (and perhaps beheaded) characters from seasons of yore. And, if all else fails, just head to your local craft store and DIY a Khaleesi costume. In other words, forget winter, Halloween 2021 is coming!
Whether or not you agree with Dany laying waste to King’s Landing and going full Mad Queen, you can’t deny that her form-fitting bodice and cloak were pretty fierce. Up the ante by accessorizing with a plush dragon and sipping a foreboding Halloween cocktail.
Channel the Dany we knew and loved in all of her Mother-of-Dragons glory. (TBH, that cyan blue is universally flattering.)
Don't forget to buy a blond wig to complete your Daenerys Targaryen look!
Listen, we know your toddler is too young for GoT, but we also know that there’s no cuter addition to a Mother-of-Dragons costume than, well, an actual baby dragon. As long as it’s not Viserion.

For The Prince who was Promised, it’s all about the cape. Make it feel even more authentic with some faux-snow. Because winter, in fact, did come.
An easy group costume? Three of these masks, all green outfits, and a box of Red Hots.
Part Evil Queen, part Ren Faire, all early-days Cersei.
The only question you have to ask yourself if you go as The Kingslayer is: Are you going to the party with Brienne of Tarth, your newly-romanced friend and respectable Knight? Or Cersei, your, um, sister/lover?
We know she evolved and became one of the most powerful female characters in Westeros, but early-days Sansa did have some seriously great costumes. And she’s always had good hair. Get a red wig or color yours to really channel everyone’s favorite Queen of The North.
He may have perished in season 4, but he’s still one of GOT’s favorite villains. Throw on a crown, carry a golden chalice, and make it even scarier by mimicking his purple-cheeked, bloody-nosed death scene.
Don this mask, wear all black, and raise your arms like the scariest White Walker of them all for Halloween’s most frightening costume.
Bring back all the sexy revenge of the Sand Snakes with one curve-hugging dress. Add brown boots, a brown belt, and some drops of blood for authenticity.
Halloween haters listen up: You have our permission to wear this shirt in lieu of an actual costume. Because truly, the many faces of Arya Stark are best encompassed with this easy and affordable tee.
Sure, you could get a more accurate direwolf look with intricate makeup, but where’s the fun in that? This furry mask is one-stop shopping, not to mention would make a great couples costume with Jon Snow. Just sayin’…

Love GoT but don’t love dressing up? This tee accomplishes both (while paying homage to one of the greatest characters of the series). Wear it alone (while drinking a glass of milk, of course), or pair it with…
... this beard and eye brow set, which really signals that you are everyone’s favorite red-headed Wilding (sorry, Ygritte!).
It was the Glow-Up heard round the Twitterverse. The Defender of the Vale went from being actually eerie to the Lord of the Eyrie. To really nail the costume, make sure your hair appropriately coiffed.
Even Dany herself would love this two-for-one costume (much easier than riding, say, Drogon). All you need is the blonde wig and, um, some space at the party. Dracarys!
We know it’s pricey, but isn’t Tyrion worth it? Answer: He is. And this genuine leather outfit is a great copy of one that Peter Dinklage actually wore on the show.
A girl defies all odds and becomes a hero. We suspect there will be lots of Aryas running around this Halloween.
