How to Style the Tyrion Lannister Costume

Put on the burgundy long coat, it establishes the character’s House Lannister identity immediately with the gold embroidery and deep red colouring. Pin the Hand of the Queen pin to the left breast so it is clearly visible at conversational distance. Put on the medieval boots and the short brown curly wig. Carry the wine glass in hand throughout the event, refilled as appropriate.

The “I Drink and I Know Things” inscription communicates the quote to anyone who reads it before you deliver it. For photos, hold the glass raised at mid-chest height with a slightly self-satisfied expression, replicating Tyrion’s characteristic posture of a man who is simultaneously the smartest person in the room and perfectly aware of it. In character, deliver any line quietly and with complete intellectual confidence. The character’s power is in the pause after delivery.

The Hand Pin: Always Visible

The Hand of the Queen pin should be pinned to the left breast of the coat at all times, positioned so it is clearly visible from conversational distance. It is one of the most recognisable accessories in Game of Thrones and immediately communicates Tyrion’s political role. When anyone comments on it, explain its significance with the weight Tyrion gives the office, the most dangerous position in the Seven Kingdoms, which he has held twice.

The Wine Glass Is a Character

Tyrion’s wine glass appears in virtually every important Tyrion scene throughout the series, it is a character element, not just a prop. The “I Drink and I Know Things” quote glass communicates this immediately. Keep it in hand throughout the event and refill it regularly. The combination of red Lannister coat, Hand pin, and wine glass is the complete Tyrion Lannister experience in three objects.

Tyrion Lannister Costume DIY Tips

What to Buy vs What to Already Own

The burgundy long coat is the only non-negotiable purchase, the deep red and black Lannister coat with gold embroidery is a character-specific garment that requires a dedicated purchase. The Hand of the Queen pin is the second essential purchase, inexpensive and the most character-specific detail of any single accessory in the build. The wine glass is a low-cost addition with disproportionate in-character value and should always be included. The medieval boots are the one piece where existing wardrobe can substitute, any tall black boots work. The wig is only needed if natural hair cannot approximate the short curly blonde-brown style.

Coat = must purchase, no general wardrobe substitute for the Lannister aesthetic
Hand of the Queen pin = must purchase, inexpensive and most character-specific accessory
Wine glass = low cost, highest in-character value per dollar in the build
Medieval boots = check existing wardrobe first
Short brown wig = check natural hair before purchasing

Build Priority Order

Buy the burgundy long coat first, it is the build’s foundation. The Hand of the Queen pin follows as the second purchase, inexpensive and the most character-specific detail relative to cost. The wine glass is the third purchase and should not be skipped. Check existing footwear before ordering boots, tall black boots of almost any style work. Check natural hair before ordering the wig. A fake scar applique can be added last for Season 2 onward accuracy at very low cost.

1st: Burgundy long coat, foundation, source first
2nd: Hand of the Queen pin, most character-specific accessory, always include
3rd: Wine glass, never skip this prop
4th: Check existing wardrobe for tall black boots before buying
5th: Short brown wig, only purchase if natural hair does not match
Optional: Fake scar applique for Season 2 onward accuracy
