to give this wretched world the queen it deserves

Guo Pei is China’s answer to haute couture. The last time she showed her collection, she sent Carmen Dell’Orefice out in an embroidered, fur-trimmed cape so heavy it took four men to help the legendary model make it down the runway.

I think that Cersei’s really envious of both her brothers purely because they’re brothers. She envies Tyrion’s intelligence and his wiliness, and she admires Jaime’s skill as a swordsman. She’s like, “I was taught to just be, and smile and have sex with whoever came through my door.”

Charlize Theron Wears Dress Made With Beetle Wings in “Snow White and the Huntsman”

Blink and you’re likely to miss it, but one of Snow White and the Huntsman’s high points is a gleaming turquoise gown that Charlize Theron wears in her role of the wicked queen. Trimmed with thousands of discarded jewel-beetle wings from Thailand, where the insect is a delicacy, the dress is a brittle, decaying carapace that mirrors Queen Ravena’s own physical and psychological deterioration.

WINGED TERROR

Although it appears for only brief seconds—a victim of the cutting-room floor—the gown loses none of its bite. “[The wings are] incredibly sharp, so I had to be careful about how I used them,” Colleen Atwood, the film’s award-winning costumer designer, told the Associated Press. “If you hit them, you can hurt yourself. They’re quite treacherous, which really suited the character.”

Atwood might have been inspired by Ellen Tracy’s beetle-wing gown from 1888.

Atwood, who bagged her most recent Oscar for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, might have been inspired by a Victorian-era gown worn by Shakespearean actress Ellen Terry. Recently restored by the National Trust at the cost of £50,000 ($81,000), the dress features 1,000 iridescent beetle wings, 100 of which had to be painstakingly repaired using small pieces of Japanese tissue and wheat starch paste.
