With Cersei and Margaery in prison and Daenerys in the desert for the majority of this season of Game of Thrones, there haven't been many fashion statements to swoon over of late. But that all changed in the explosive finale when Cersei took the Iron Throne - wearing an ornate, high neck gown that set social media alight.Thinking about that old mantra "dress for the job you want, not the job you've got", her leather dress was the total embodiment of triumph over adversity; the culmination of years of plotting.The dress was uncompromising, unadorned and undoubtedly deliberate in the message it portrayed.Earlier this year Michele Clapton, the costume director who worked on Game of Thrones for the first five series, described the hidden significance behind every costume you see on screen."I love the fact that you can have a sub story going on because the costume is telling you so much," she said, citing the fact that Margaery Tyrell showed her power over Cersei by wearing revealing dresses and flaunting her youth."Cersei tried to dress in a more powerful way and dominate her but the one thing she couldn't do was be young."People think the show is all about sex. It's not, it's about strong individuals - and women in particular."It was certainly the ladies who shone in the finale episode: Daenerys swapped her pastel shades and Grecian gowns for a billowing black number and then later, as she sailed towards Westeros , she wore a black, armoured, dragon-adorned dress - her best outfit to date.Sansa also wore head-to-toe black and returned to her Stark roots by donning a thick black caped dress and fur stole - very Winterfell appropriate.So what can we make of this unusual raft of black outfits?Well, judging by the fact that Clapton admits a lot of thought went into the colour of Daenerys' previous outfits - "that white dress was a removal of herself, like she was trying to cleanse herself" - it could be a rather ominous sign of things to come.Still, at least black's the sensible option when it comes to a series filled with battles, snow and a fatefully fluorescent wildfire apocalypse.With Cersei taking part in a fair bit of brutality herself, she might want to stick to black for the time being.Clapton has said that while they do try to use blood they can wash out, due to some of the delicate fabrics there will be at least three versions of the outfit.All of which leaves us wondering how we can get hold of Cersei's spare outfits. Winter is here and Cersei is colder than ever. - ©The Daily Telegraph..
