These 'Game of Thrones' Stars Look a Lot Different on the Red Carpet (Well, Most of the Time)
Here's a look at how some of our absolute favorite GoT stars clean up for nights out on the town [...]
On HBO's Emmy-winning Game of Thrones, life is hard, and the good and bad folk of Westeros are always prepared, if not dressed, for battle.
That's why it's always a kick to see the stars of GoT away from the set and on the red carpet. It's at these times that Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, John Bradley and the rest let their hair, necklines and defenses down.
Now that the series has reached its end after its eighth season, it's a great time to look at the HBO stars working their magic on the red carpet over the years.
