The 5 incredible beauty trends that Game of Thrones gave us that we'll all be channelling this season
Ever since we revealed our SS19 cover stars as Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, Game of Thrones fever has hit an all-time high.
From the new trailer release (we are SO READY for Season 8) to the GOT-inspired Urban Decay collection, the medieval fantasy has seeped from the screens into our everyday life – including inspiring our hair and makeup choices.
Here are the trends we have to thank the lands of Westeros and Essos for...
SKYPlatinum hair
Even people who don't watch the show know who Daenerys is, thanks to her signature platinum blonde hair. Ever since her on-screen debut as the Mother of Dragons, bleach sales in salons have (probably) spiked. If you're going to attempt this level of blonde, make sure you read our guide to white blonde hair first.
SKYBraids & plaits
Almost every female character in GOT has worn a plait or braid of some sort at some time - but did you know about the hidden meaning? An eagle-eyed fan spotted Daenerys explaining a Dothraki custom all the way back in Season 1, claiming that a braid symbolises victory. So therefore the more braids you have, the more battles you've won. Not to mention they're great for festivals when you're dancing around in the moshpit.
SKYLong, LONG hair
Regular trims aren't a thing in the Seven Kingdoms, with haircuts usually reserved as a sign of 'shame'. This might explain our sudden swap of bobs for hair extensions.
SKYHead pieces
Love her or hate her, you have to admit Cersei has rocked some pretty impressive hair accessories and headpieces over the seasons. This particular crown is the ideal accessory for your Game Of Thrones-inspired wedding.
SKYGuyliner
Oh Drogo, too young to die, too smokin' hot to ever be erased from our memories. Move over Jack Sparrow, there's a new Halloween costume favourite for guys who really just want an excuse to wear eyeliner.
