She told E!News, "It was scary to cut my hair, to gain muscle, to walk in another way, to accept my androgyny, my natural strength. I felt the very things that society had dictated to me were not relevant or appropriate." Social media simply fell in love with the dress and can't stop praising the dress. Game of Thrones Season 8: From Daenerys Targaryen's Different Attires to Jon Snow's Heavy Cape, Here's Elaborating on the Costumes That Play a Vital Role in Every Season.
