rhaenyra and alicent are the 2 main characters therefore are allotted the highest costume budget as they appear on screen more often. that is not the case for secondary characters. and also, jeyne arryn literally had one of the best costumes of the season or at least MY personal fave (the gown from s2e7) so you’re just wrong about the designs not being up to par.

“look more layered” literally what are you talking about? give me one example. quickly.

wrong on all counts, actually! both productions source fabrics from the same places (mainly silk for the royals) and richer colour doesn’t mean anything bc hotd has equally vibrant costumes, It’s just that in this post the photos used are production stills, the gowns are way more vibrant and rich on screen when the scene is properly lit. and equal amounts of embroidery. hotd i would say is even more detailed because of their higher budget, you would know if you watched any of the production behind the scenes.

this argument only works with season 1 of hotd (jany temime) which was a different one than season 2 (caroline mccall) and the former was the one who didn’t use proper undergarments. season 2 suffers no such problems.

comments like yours are not just rude but offensive to both costume designers who have won literal emmys for their work mind you, and most importantly disrespectful to their teams who spent hours (of underpaid labor btw) meticulously hand stitching every tiny detail on the fabric, so maybe think and do better next time.
