The Game of Thrones Cast Has Come a Long Way on the Red Carpet

Game of Thrones is sadly over, but our love for the cast will remain forever. From 2011 to 2019, the stars — including Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, and Maisie Williams — took us on quite the adventure in Westeros, and we became pretty attached to them. They grew up right before our eyes both on and off screen as they attended high-profile gatherings and red carpet events. In honor of the eight years they had us on the edge of our seats, let's look back at their Hollywood evolution.
