24 Game of Thrones Halloween Costume Options For Women

1 Lyanna Mormont

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: Like most everyone else, you're going to want to stock up on some dark clothing and furs. Lyanna has a recognizable hairstyle too, so practice parting your hair down the middle like that.
How to act: You may be young, but you're smarter than most of the adults around you. You also have the power to back up your claims.

2 Yara Greyjoy

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: Break out your typical body armor. You're from the Iron Isles, so you're a little less flashy than the Starks or Lannisters, but you still have pride.
How to act: Like you'll do anything you can to protect your birthright, even if it means working twice as hard because you're a woman.

3 Meera Reed

What to wear: Furs, furs, furs! (Faux, of course.) You're used to the cold, so you'll need to bundle up big time.
How to act: Unsure of what your path is, and worried about whether you'll even feel safe.

4 Walda Bolton

What to wear: Dark clothing and a long cloak with your hair half pulled back.
How to act: Protect your newborn at all costs — make sure Ramsay (and his dogs) is nowhere near either of you.

5 Leaf

What to wear: This one will require a bit more work. You'll need a heavy, dark dress, an elaborate updo, and face paint to cover your upper body in crazy, tree-like veins. Creepy contact lenses are a must.
How to act: Wise far, far beyond your years.

6 Daenerys Targaryen

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A white wig pulled halfway up, a long white dress, and some fierce jewelry made of horns or steel. Bonus points if you can find some toy dragons.
How to act: Quietly confident, but assert your status as the Mother of Dragons if provoked. Ask everyone where . . . your . . . dragons . . . are.

7 Cersei Lannister

What to wear: A very long blond wig pulled back. Wear a regal-looking deep-red gown with full sleeves.
How to act: Severe and cunning. Talk down to whomever you're speaking with.

8 Cersei Lannister, Queen Edition

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: There are a lot of versions of Cersei that you can be. If you're going for OG Cersei, get a long blond wig (work some kind of braid into it, somehow), and a long belted dress in some shade of red, and carry around a glass of wine. Shame Cersei needs only a short blond buzzcut, dirt smeared all over your face, and a potato sack similar to the High Sparrow's. For I-Just-Blew-Everyone-Up Cersei, wear short blond hair, a crown, a long black long-sleeved dress, and some kind of silver designs for your shoulders. If you want to go the extra mile, stick a bunch of fake swords to your back so it looks like you're sitting on the Iron Throne no matter where you are.
How to act: Cersei always has the best, most cutting comebacks, so make sure you're on your game on Oct. 31. Also, have a glass of red wine to swirl around threateningly at any given moment.

9 Arya Stark

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A long-sleeved brown tunic belted at the waist over brown pants. Carry a sword. Wear a pixie-cut wig if your hair isn't already short.
How to act: Like you're not afraid of anything. Challenge your friends to sword fights.

9 / 25

10 Arya Stark, Blind Beggar Edition

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A very ragged shawl and other ragged clothes. Try to find contacts that will white out your eyes, and add a bowl or a staff as an accessory.
How to act: Well, blind. Feel your way around, and bump into things. More than that, though, you're kind of hopeless and defeated.

10 / 25

11 Arya Stark, Braavosi Girl Edition

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: Style in Braavos is very bohemian, so track down a flowy peasant blouse, a long skirt, and a cool vest. Add the hair buns and tiny sword for impact.
How to act: Like you're on a top-secret mission that may or may not involve murder.

11 / 25

12 Sansa Stark

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: For this year's Sansa, rock a gothic black dress with a high collar and wear a long chain with a black amulet as a necklace. Braid your hair into one of Sansa's elaborate 'dos.
How to act: Like you suddenly just learned the rules of this game.

12 / 25

13 Margaery Tyrell

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A beautiful blue gown with your hair done up beautifully.
How to act: Sweet, but somewhat conniving.

13 / 25

14 Ygritte

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: Lots of furs from head-to-toe, plus leather gloves and a bow and arrow. Wear a red wig with half of it pulled back.
How to act: Constantly tell people they know nothing.

14 / 25

15 Melisandre

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A long red wig, pulled back into a half-up 'do. Wear a dramatic dark red gown and a choker.
How to act: Constantly tell people that the night is dark and full of terrors.

15 / 25

16 Melisandre, Old AF Edition

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: Well, there's not much to this costume, so that's a plus. The true, old version of Melisandre is butt naked, so get yourself a body suit that matches your skin tone and a stringy white wig. If you can use makeup to draw on a few wrinkles, you'll nail it.
How to act: Exhausted and over life in general. Refuse all offerings of food, and avoid mirrors.

16 / 25

17 Brienne of Tarth

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: Armor, with long sleeves and a padded skirt. Add a sword and a cropped blond wig.
How to act: Like you're tough enough to fight a bear.

17 / 25

18 Ellaria Sand

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A fierce black cape with shoulder pads over a black slip dress with a brown belt crisscrossed over it. Lots of smoky black eyeliner.
How to act: Like you better not be crossed.

18 / 25

19 Lady Olenna

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A blue dress with an elaborate blue headdress.
How to act: With absolute decorum, but keep it real.

19 / 25

20 Catelyn Stark

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A high-necked dress with a long coat over it. Wear a long red wig in a braid.
How to act: Fierce and determined. Worry aloud about your children.

20 / 25

21 The Shame Nun

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: You can buy a gray nun's costume, or just throw on a long-sleeved gray dress and wrap a gray scarf around your head in the same way she does. To add the finishing touches, wrap a light-colored rope around your waist and carry around a thick book and a bell.
How to act: Strict and demoralizing. Look down on anyone who's having fun, and scream out, "SHAME!" at random intervals throughout the night while ringing your bell.

21 / 25

22 The Waif

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A short blond wig and some variation of gray pieces of clothing layered over each other. Feel free to carry a long wooden staff or fake dagger around with you in case you come across anyone dressed as Arya.
How to act: To quote Jean Ralphio, the Waif is the WORST. She's rude as hell and will betray you at any moment. For instance, if one of your friends asks you to get them a drink, do so, but before you to hand it over to them, chug the whole thing while looking them dead in the eye, and then shoot them your meanest smile. Also, only refer to your friends and family as "the girl" or "the boy." They'll really enjoy that, we promise.

22 / 25

23 Lyanna Stark

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: Lightweight quilted armor, complete with a skirt and gloves.
How to act: Precocious and confident.

23 / 25

24 Shae

Image Source: HBO

What to wear: A pink halter dress and belt. Wear a brown curly wig pulled back and top it off with bangles on your arm.
How to act: Outwardly submissive, but like you're still your own person.
