Cersei Lannister
“When you play the game of thrones you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”
– Cersei Lannister
Cersei Lannister. Where do we start? Sarcastic and spiteful. Manipulative, cruel. Don’t even get us started on that twin thing she’s got going on. It’s between her and Melisandre as to who’s the most hated woman in Westeros. But what she lacks in class, she makes up for in style and beauty. And as Littlefinger found out in the video below, she’s got quite a bit of power under all of that. It’s these traits that make it fun for cosplayers to get on their best Cersei Lannister costume, pour a glass of wine and trade insults with family and friends. It’s the Lannister way.

Cersei Lannister Costume: Halloween Luxury Dress
This dress is a nice take on one of Cersei’s earlier dresses. It’s almost kimono-like with the really wide sleeves. The only thing that’s off is the collar. The dress that this is based off didn’t have it in the show.
It’s still a good, albeit simple interpretation of the Westerosi style we see throughout the series. It’s also a fraction of what some of the cosplay costume makers will charge for one.
Cersei Lannister “Queen Dress”
This one is a Halloween store version of the same dress. It’s less expensive than the previous costume but it’s also seasonal. If this is the one you want, don’t let it wait until it’s out of stock.
Cersei Lannister Costume: Lion Pendant
A lion pendant based on the necklace Cersei is wearing with this dress. Add a little more authenticity to your Game of Thrones costume.

Cersei Cosplay Wig
This wig is a little lighter color than Cersei’s on the show. But it’s definitely a good look for your costume.
