See What 'House of the Dragon' Season 2 Stars Wore to the NYC Premiere
After two years of angsty anticipation, House of the Dragon season 2 is right around the corner—and the red carpet premiere this week at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City didn't disappoint.
A glance at their outfits—classic, sophisticated, and entrancingly wicked and magical—reveals a strong relation to the themes of the HBO show, which premieres next Sunday, June 16th. The first Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon tells the story of the Targaryen civil war, based on Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin. Season two will pick up right where season one left off, where Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and Prince Daemon (Matt Smith)'s Targaryens fight against Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and her Targaryens over the Iron Throne. The show is renown for its intense atmosphere, where royals fight on dragons, and engage in cataclysmic power plays as the brutal civil war escalates.
Here, see what the House of the Dragon season two cast wore to the premiere:
