One of the most important moments of Sunday's HouseOfTheDragon was a fashion choice. Here's why Alicent's green dress is such a big deal moving forward:
Alicent Hightower's role has been becoming more important with each passing episode of HBO's House of the Dragon. The character started as the daughter of the King's Hand and the best friend of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, but she quickly won the king's affection and became his new queen. A rivalry has now been born between her and Rhaenyra, largely due to the birth of her son, Aegon II, who many believe should be the rightful heir to the Iron Throne.
Alicent is known for wearing green dresses, but we haven't seen her donning one on the show . The feast celebrating the wedding of Rhaenyra and Laenor sees Alicent make a grand entrance, much later than she's expected. She actually interrupts her husband's speech by arriving in the grand hall. The crowd is silent, many noticing not just her timing, but the color of her dress.
What Does Alicent's Green Dress Mean?The colors of House Targaryen are black and red, and the event featured an in the episode is the celebration of a future Targaryen queen's wedding. Dressing in those colors would have been appropriate, so taking on another color is an act of defiance on Alicent's part, now believing that Rhaenyra lied to her about Daemon and knowing that there will eventually be a conflict between her children and stepdaughter.
