Filming on the final season of Game of Thrones is over, but we’re still hearing stray bits of behind-the-scenes info. For example, during a panel moderated by Entertainment Weekly at this past weekend’s New York Comic Con, Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) revealed what item she took home from the set (everybody takes at least one thing): a corset worn under her costumes.
It’s not the flashiest memento, but Sansa was always mindful of the connection between clothes and power. Also, it sounds like Turner really did have a soft spot for Sansa’s corsets. She talked a bit about it in 2014:
“I’ve definitely learned a lot about how to fit clothes—including corsets and everything. I would love to wear my corset out, but it’s not so practical or easy to breathe in. I wear corsets with all of my outfits.”
And it’s not like that the only thing Turner ever took off the set. Long ago, she adopted Zunni, the Mahlek Northern Inuit dog who played Sansa’s direwolf Lady on the show:
Zunni died last year, but Turner adopted a similar dog shortly thereafter. So she definitely picked right when taking stuff home from work, corsets and all.
Turner also revealed what fellow castmates Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Maisie Williams (Arya) took from the set. Unsurprisingly, they took home swords: Longclaw and Needle, respectively. Interestingly, Harington had previously only admitted to bringing home Jon’s vambrances, while Williams said she brought home Arya’s brown jacket. Hopefully Turner didn’t get anyone in trouble.
Back to Turner, she didn’t love all of her costumes. For example, she wasn’t a fan of the fur-lined coat she wore during season 7, seen above. “I hated that coat!” she said at the con. “I dragged it around [all season] and no, I didn’t want to carry it home.”
Well, she still wore the bejeezus out of it, so everything worked out.
