Game of Thrones Star Sophie Turner Is Hardly Recognizable With Her Natural Blonde Hair

Game of Thrones Star Sophie Turner Is Hardly Recognizable With Her Natural Blonde Hair

Though you might assume Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner (who snapped the CUTEST Ryan Gosling selfie known to man) is a natural redhead from those ginger tresses she rocks both on and off the show, she’s actually a natural blonde. And now, Sansa Stark is going back to her roots as the blonde bombshell she was born to be.


Taking to Instagram to debut her new look (of sorts), Sophie gives us an above-nose only peek at her freshly dyed locks.

I did a thing..... 💆🏼

“I did a thing,” she teases. While we’ve still yet to get the full effect, from what we can see, blonde life is going to suit Sophie just fine: After all, girl WAS born with it.

It’s not her old self fans are likening her hair to, however, but another blonde Game of Thrones headturner. Er, make that several.

While some are quick to point out the similarities to Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys Targaryen, others suspect an admiration for fellow co-star Natalie Dormer, who plays the late Margaery Tyrell.

While we can certainly see the similarities to both, we’re not sure that either Thrones star influenced Sophie’s decision. What we DO know is that girl looks fab with this bombshell blonde refresher.

Welcome (back) to the platinum life, Soph!
