Redesign of Rhaenyra’s dress from 1x02. This dress annoyed me sooo much onscreen, and I finally realized why while redesigning it: it’s not necessarily the design, it’s the execution. I genuinely don’t know what the designers were thinking with some of their construction choices. I fixed my biggest complaints in my version :) Details below!

This technically applies to my Stepmother AU in which Alicent is around six years older than Rhaenyra, and occupies a wicked stepmother role as opposed to ex ‘friends-to-first loves-to-enemies’. Despite lacking the foundation of shared girlhood, both find simultaneous comfort and rivalry in one another, and undergo a gravitational pull. A young Rhaenyra’s eagerness to participate in swordplay and political affairs at a young is accommodated for, and she grows up with a sword in one hand and the weight of experience in another, which further helps pave her way to the throne.
Alicent’s Costuming
Alicent’s clothing is almost entirely bottle, emerald, or forest green. While there is layering present in her skirts and jackets, the accent should always be a darker green than the base color. The fabric is deep, rich, and retains an undeniably high-quality luster. Look to velvets and silks. Gold embroidery lingers around her sleeves, neck, and hemline to elevate the coloring.
Metallic embellishments should be almost military-like, and appear heavy. Contribute to the imagery of chains or shackles in addition to her status
Draws inspiration from historically accurate stiffness and Victorian shapes, with a tapered waist, imposing, puffy sleeves, and a high neckline. Despite inaccuracies, this shape is evocative of someone elegantly and conservatively feminine, repressed, and capable of exerting power over others. Reference a classic, trussed hourglass shape. Skirts should be notably heavy and full; may make noise in movement
The coloring and shapes remain relatively consistent but lack variation; this is to demonstrate a lack of freedom and exploration, as well as an adherence to conventional feminine roles
Despite these limitations, her costuming should always be put-together, coordinated, and unquestionably fashionable. Tight sleeve cuffs may be accompanied by a more traditionally medieval fan sleeve
Shoes should stick mostly to slippers, or flat designs
In this AU, her hair leans more towards a dark brown instead of auburn, as her show counterpart. This is mostly due to faux-book accuracy and to simplify the sketch process, since keeping her hair darker in comparison to Rhaenyra’s lighter hair translates more easily in uncolored renderings.
Keep her hair either in a tidy bun or pulled back and loose; avoid too many intricate shapes, braids, or styles. Occasionally, the hair will hang loose. Lean into medieval or royal headpieces, clips, coverings, etc.
Rhaenyra’s Costuming
Rhaenyra’s clothes are primarily black and red, occasionally accented or substituted with neutrals such as beige, white, or gray. Exceptions may include blue or yellow, but she generally stays in this color palette.
Strong focus is drawn to her shoulders and neckline, sometimes with embroidered or embellished detailing. She often has strong, angular shoulders in her dresses or jackets, occasionally theatrically pointed. Off-the shoulder necklines emphasize her collarbones and a certain broadness.
There should be decent variety in her clothing; there is a hypothetical outfit for every occasion and more (for battle, for riding, everyday, formal, feasts, everyday, etc.), and most should be composed of multiple pieces and utilize generous layering. This includes under-fabric, belts and corsets, jackets and doublets, draped fabric for aesthetic purpose, and even functional capes.
Most of her clothes should provide visual aid for movement; additional fabric to her skirts, for example. Her clothes should be highly stylized but still easy to move in. In riding and battle gear, it is presumed that she wears pants and boots under her skirts, even if they are not visible.
Shoes lean more into boot cuts, still practical but should have a sleek and uniform quality to them. When she walks, she should make some kind of noise. Shoes should usually be black or potentially red, the latter for decorative purposes.
Overall her style should be more contemporary and lean into the fantasy element. She’s not opposed to oriental details or showing skin, and her costumes should reflect both couture-height drama and period-reliant aspects. Longer lines and diagonal hems mean she is not as devoted to an hourglass shape, and her high collars should always be decorative in some respect.
Keep her hair long and mostly loose, sometimes pulled back. Small braids should be implied as incorporated. Occasional hairstyles feature complicated braids. With the exception of highly decorative braided styles, simple buns should be avoided unless accompanied with very high necklines.
Avoid headpieces that are not either a) her crown or b) ceremonial.

Rhaenyra and Alicent over Season 1
I got a lot of questions over the course of this series over the "opposites" I was talking about in Alicent and Rhaenyra's costumes, so hopefully this sort of side by side makes their fashion decisions more dramatic. Not all of these outfits are worn in literally the same scenes but they are lined up to the ones they match on the time-line.

The design on Aegon II’s outfit in season two has two gold dragons facing each other, to make the head of one dragon! I feel like there is symbolism in this!

Some more outfit designs, this time a few Targaryen queens - Rhaenys, Alysanne, Rhaenyra, Naerys and Rhaella
I do really like the concept of their their clothes becoming progressively less Valyrian over time, also The idea of Rhaenyra trying to do old Valyrian cosplay and massively overshooting the mark is just really funny to me

And now into the dress they put Olivia Cooke in that I genuinely hate the most, the only nice thing I can say about it is the fabric is pretty, everything else about it is awful. The shoulders look strange, it mimics the dress Rhaenyra wears at the family dinner and when Vaemond dies, but it is clearly a very poor imitation. Again with the fucking sheer fabrics. It looks like the prom dresses you get if shein and wish that look nothing like the photo and only cost a tenner. It has a weird double princess seam thing going on and I hate it. The embroidered lace appliqué that starts on the bodice and creates the neckline looks like it was cut out from an embroidered fabric that is mostly sheer organza and then sewn on top of the already questionable dress. And on top of all that, the dress doesn’t even fit her properly. I do however like this belt, mostly, I like how the centre of it at least looks to be a butterfly, which if it is, is sweet because it links her to Helaena. I also just really like that bts photo of Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans, so enjoy.

Redesigns of Alicent’s ladder dress from 1x02. I scrapped the ladder cutouts completely because I just don’t like them lol. I imagine the jeweled collar to have a similar thematic weight as the torc Dany wears in agot. I wanted my design to be conservative but also not- imo the original dress is a little too on the nose as far as Otto’s intentions go so I wanted to rein that in here. I wound up landing on a simple but fitted velvet dress. I also did two color schemes- the first one is more in line with the original navy, with added emeralds (or something) on the collar for House Hightower. The other is a classic black/red because I wouldn’t put it past Otto to dress Alicent in Targaryen colors as a form of subliminal messaging.

a slight pivot in my asoiaf costume design series since hotd has consumed my brain...here's rhaenyra, both a teen and grown version! her costumes in the show were some of my favorites, so here's my own twist on my favorites out of those.
i finished this on vacation, and have already started working on an alicent version!

The Wedding of Rhaenyra and Daemon
I need all the love for this one because I super-focused on it for over half a day without pause. What sleep schedule? I had the unstoppable urge to draw these two menaces. If you want me to make more things like this the endorphin rush of positive feedback will need to be stellar XD. Second bird with this stone is that I actually drew an unprompted man for the HotD series. Can’t be getting too predictable with only pretty ladies.
For this redesign I wanted to reference and build off of Rhaenyra's Heir outfit. So while it's not exactly the same they should feel like they are pulling more from the "ancient Valyerian" (Byzantine-esque) fashion than the styles that Alicent is currently wearing in court. Extra points if you an spot the references to Empress Theodora (again + her Emperor). Oh and because I make the rules in these redesigns: Corlys is Black and Rhaenyra isn't Hollywood sized. I can pull from the books and the show as I please! So I wanted to include her long single plait (styled after a previous Queen) and her generous curves in these post-time jump illustrations.
