"I'm no lady," states Brienne of Tarth. We're used to seeing Brienne winning tournaments and dispatching enemies, but if you want to see what she looks like on the red carpet, click through.

Actress Gwendoline Christie is far more fond of glamour than her Game of Thrones character. (Read what she had to say to us here.)

Next: has Cersi Lannister always been a blonde?

"You love your children, it's your one redeeming quality," Cersei's brother Tyrion tells her. "That and your cheekbones."

Actress Lena Headey shares Cersei's cheekbones (obviously), but otherwise looks surprisingly different...

And here's Lena, who does not have the golden tresses of House Lannister. (You may also have spotted Lena playing Sarah Connor in The Sarah Connor Chronicles.)

This is Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, Mother of Dragons. She's also known as Dany. Her family are famed for their silver hair...

Emilia is another actor who had a radical change of hair for her Game of Thrones character.

Margaery is known is Westeros for being "as clever as she is beautiful." She's also fond of some rather dramatic tailoring, with low-slashed necklines being a specialty.

"The night is dark and full of terrors."

One of the most memorable lines from series two is spoken by Melisandre. The Red Priestess really lives her job title with waist-length crimson hair and, usually, a stern expression.

She looks somewhat less serious in real life.

Carice looks like she's having fun. The night is dark and full of cocktails for the Dutch actress.

Up next: Arya Stark... in a dress.

Arya is a great girl, full of spirit, fond of sword fighting and resourceful enough to disguise herself as a boy and hightil it out of King's Landing when her father was executed as a traitor.

She hates having to put a frock on though. However, Maisie Williams...

Williams has won a lot of praise for her portrayal of Arya. Game of Thrones was the first TV role played by the fifteen-year-old actress.

As the Lady of Winterfell Catelyn is often wrapped in furs and cloaks with her auburn hair whipping in the wind.

But actress Michelle Fairley is dressed for warmer climes in an elegant white shift.

Sansa inherited her mother Catelyn's red hair. More ladylike than her sister Arya, her engagement to King Joffrey became dangerous after the execution of her father.

In real life actor Sophie Turner was born in Northampton, rather than the northerly reaches of Winterfell.
