Sansa Stark is such a prominent Westerosi icon that her smallest wardrobe and hair changes are gossip fodder. After Game of ThronesSeason 7 premiered, fans panicked that Sansa's new hairdo marked the beginning of her transformation into Cersei. Now she's wearing a circular necklace like from back when she joined forces with Littlefinger, and we all need to take a step back.
SEE ALSO:Sansa is a rising power player on 'Game of Thrones'. Here's why that matters.The idea is that Sansa's sporting a necklace with a big circle, just like she did at the end of Season 4 when she escaped King's Landing and went undercover in the North. Little Finger orchestrated Sansa's escape (as well as Joffrey's murder) and planned to have her live in House Arryn under a different name.
Guess who got an A in geometry?Credit: Mashable composite/hboWhile these necklaces are similar, it's not a direct comparison, like the hairdo (even there one could argue that Cersei's waves are tighter, but let's not). The color is different, and the original has two places for the chain to thread in and out.
But let's entertain for a moment that this is significant. How do we know it points to an alliance between Sansa and Little Finger? What if the differences point to just the opposite -- that Sansa is her own woman now (one whole circle no longer divided in two)? What of the different colors -- the darkness symbolizing her escape from Joffrey toward Ramsay, and the light metal perhaps signifying her readiness to rule.
Whether Sansa is on the cusp of Cersei-esque madness or another disastrous alliance with Little Finger, here's the thing -- we're going to find out. As gorgeous as the costuming is on Game of Thrones, what Sansa brings to the table as the temporary leader of the North is more important than what she's wearing (#askhermore!).
Let's focus on the ice zombies instead.
