Did You Spot This Mistake With Dany’s Braids on Game of Thrones ?

Game of Thrones is a meticulously crafted show on every level, from the intricate plot lines to the massive sets and elaborate costumes. (Just read our interview with costume designer Michele Clapton about how she created the season eight looks, and you'll be impressed.)

That intense attention to detail also applies to the teams creating the hairstyles for the show, which often contain hidden messages about the series. But some eagle-eyed fans spotted what looks to be a mistake with Daenerys Targaryen's braids in the season eight premiere.

You see, actress Emilia Clarke has worn many wigs over the years while playing the mother of dragons—but it looks like she wore two subtly different ones when she and Jon Snow entered Winterfell with her soldiers. Oops.

"Dany is wearing different wigs during her arrival in Winterfell ☠️☠️😓 #GameOfThrones," one fan wrote on Twitter. "I rewatched it a thousand times hoping to find an explanation," another replied.

Let's take a closer look, shall we? You can see in the first shot that her Dothraki-inspired braids are sitting in a half-up style at the back of her head.

But then, in the next shot, there are more braids that are woven into a larger bun. The different wigs were easy to miss when watching the show. Once you notice the change, though, the mistake becomes quite obvious.

Others on social media couldn't believe it, either. "Doesn’t everybody pack multiple wigs when meeting your SO’s family?" one joked. "I have a feeling this is going to cause me to spend too much time checking out her wigs for the rest of the season," another wrote. (Same!)

In all likelihood, this is simply a continuity mistake—but those are not super common on Game of Thrones, which is why this is noteworthy. But this being Thrones, could it hold a more significant meaning? We'll find out soon enough as the show wraps up its final episodes over the next four weeks.
