EXCLUSIVE: Natalie Dormer Talks Haute Couture Costumes of 'Game of Thrones'
The actress and costume designer, Michele Clapton, discuss the Purple Wedding's stunning outfits.
While fans eagerly await Game of Thrones’ fifth season, they can bide their time with an exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the making of season 4.
GOT costume designer Michele Clapton and Natalie Dormer explain the intricate detail and runway-ready appeal of the clothes worn in the show, particularly in the famous Purple Wedding scene.
“The wedding dress is a piece of haute couture,” Dormer says of Margaery Tyrell’s bridal outfit. “It’s stunning and it deserves to be on a catwalk.”
The dress was so popular that the episode’s director, Alex Graves, changed the shot to showcase Clapton’s design. “He never ever changed a shot for a costume designer before but because it looked so good he did,” Clapton says.
The clip comes from an exclusive Target Blu Ray/DVD extra, Silk, Leather & Chain Mail, which provides an in-depth look into all the intricately-designed costumes of season 4.
Game of Thrones returns to HBO on Sunday, Apr. 12. The complete fourth season is available on Blu Ray/DVD on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
