Warning: Spoilers ahead for the "Game of Thrones" season seven finale, "The Dragon and the Wolf."
"Game of Thrones" costume designer Michele Clapton imbues meaning into every single aspect of the cast's outfits. In a new interview with HBO, Clapton revealed that Cersei Lannister's black gown she wore to the Dragonpit had a subtle hint about her lying schemes.
Though we barely saw the back of the dress, close-up images released by HBO on their "Making of Game of Thrones" blog shows how Cersei's gown had a spine-like design up its back.
Clapton said she knew Cersei was lying about pledging her forces to Jon and Daenerys, and this was conveyed through the dress.
"Something about the slashing and the twisting told you a lot about her character, a contradiction of the costume from the front," Clapton told HBO. "It's almost like a sting in the tail, something on edge as you see her walk away: there's something really disturbing about this woman."
The back of the gown was barely seen in the finale episode, and yet this detail was there as a way of foreshadowing Cersei's betrayal.
Here's an even closer look at the slashed pattern from the "Making of Game of Thrones" blog:
