    Game of Thrones Costume Evolution: Sansa in Black

    16 Apr ’15 /

    The highly anticipated season five premiere of Game of Thrones aired across the globe this week, giving us tantalising glimpses of where our favorite characters are now. We saw two brief scenes of Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), who had a major makeover at the end of Season Four. With this new direction in her character, where will she end up in Season Five?

    Game of Thrones Costume Analysis: Cersei Lannister
