Wigs, five-kilogram (and sometimes even more) dresses and costumes, heavy makeup...

All of this, combined with convincing acting and impressive 3D graphics, helps the viewer to immerse themselves in the plot of the House of the Dragon. This is a prequel to the Game of Thrones series. It tells the story of the creation of the Targaryen dynasty, which, thanks to their dragons, gained power in the Seven Kingdoms.

1. Olivia Cooke English actress Olivia Cooke got the role of the wayward lady Alicent Hightower, the second wife of King Viserys I, as well as the former best friend and rival of Rhaenyra Targaryen. This character usually wears exquisite dresses with a puffy hem, decorated with precious stones.

Her hairstyles changed: sometimes just long wavy hair, sometimes with neatly pinned strands. In real life, Olivia has thick, wavy dark brown hair and wears casual clothes or elegant dresses. 2.

Emma D'Arcy Emma D'Arcy play Rhaenyra Targaryen, the eldest daughter of King Viserys and the wife of Daemon Targaryen. For this role, they were nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series in 2023. This is quite ironic since Emma is a non-binary person and uses the pronoun they/them.

In the series, D'Arcy is the Queen of Westeros from the Valyrian Targaryen dynasty; a warrior woman with long blond hair, wearing lush dresses and cloak.
