In the previous posts for our Game of Thrones Countdown series, we have covered three queens, Daenerys, Cersei, and Margaery, who have changed a lot over the seven seasons. But none of these regents have gone through a change like Sansa Stark.

Sansa Stark has seen perhaps the most intense character development of anyone on the show. And this development shows through drastic changes to her wardrobe.

Sansa started off as bratty princess, but has grown into a strong woman who is focused on seeking revenge for her family and leading the people of the North. She is now someone who demands respect and loyalty, and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty.

Let’s take a closer look at the many transitions Sansa has made throughout the show, through the lens of her wardrobe.

Sansa Stark Style: Seasons 1-2

In the beginning Sansa is a foolish girl who dreams of marrying Prince Joffrey and becoming his future queen. She is bratty and rude to those who care for her, and blindly trusts Queen Cersei.

In season two, Sansa becomes a prisoner to King Joffrey, and is essentially his toy to torment. This when Sansa starts to realize that her dream, in reality, is a nightmare. However, she still must keep up her foolish and innocent facade in order to protect herself.

Throughout these seasons, Sansa dresses like your typical sweet princess. Many of her garments are softer and more girly versions of Queen Cersei’s garments. She chooses to wear garments that are kimono styled, featuring a wrap around affect and long, billowing skirts. Most of her garments have flower and bird embroidery, to emphasize her nickname “Little Bird.” She often wears dresses made in pastel shades, to enhance her innocent look.
