The Game of Thrones is the most popular show on television with hundreds of hours of content to binge watch. With so much attention and cultural impact, many people are curious about who are the hottest female characters on this show.
Since I am a huge Game of Thrones fan, I decided to do some research and compile the list of hottest Game of Thrones female characters here. I am using a number of criteria when selecting these hot game of thrones female characters including the amount of screen-time, the quality of their acting, and other important factors.
Many people would disagree with some or all of these rankings, but those are my own opinion.

Sansa Stark is arguably the most popular female character in Game of Thrones. She is the youngest of the Stark children, who play a crucial role in major events in the story. Sansa Stark was first introduced to audiences as a young girl by her father, Lord Eddard (played by Sean Bean). When Jon Snow, who was actually her uncle, came back into Winterfell after twenty years, he brings information about his sister and Rickon Stark’s death.

Sansa Stark
always fights for what she believes in and is willing to do anything to protect her people. Daenerys Targaryen plays a pivotal role in the entire show and the audience will certainly miss her when she leaves Westeros.
We would be remiss to not start any Game of Thrones list with our fiery queen Daenerys Targaryen. This character has been through a lot of turmoil and yet she never gives up. She

Cersei is by far the hottest game of thrones female character in my opinion. Cersei Lannister is a talented character actress on the show and she has proven that time and time again. Many people dislike her for being a horrible person, but I think she is a complex character with a lot of depth. I also love her dark side and her conflicted human nature. It makes for some interesting drama that we get to see on screen every week.

Arya has the most colorful wardrobe on Game of Thrones because she is constantly stealing clothes from different people. Her outfits can be considered more shocking than a court lady’s dress, but not quite into true nudity.

Tyene Sand was one of the younger characters on Game of Thrones, but she had a huge impact on the series. Without her absence, it is unlikely that many other characters would have made it this far in the series.
Tyene Sand also had an important presence as a daughter, sister, and aunt all rolled into one. She also became a leader among her people and continued to show us how strong women can be. She is also responsible for many hot game of thrones female characters in my list.

She is considered to be the hottest Game of Thrones female character because she has great screen-time and an excellent acting job with some of the most seductive and intense scenes in Game of Thrones.

| Philanthropy | Trustee of The Boa Foundation |
Talisa Maegyr is the wife of King Robb Stark and she is also a medic. Her relationship with Bran Stark is a great arc on the show and I personally think Talisa’s character adding a lot to the plot. As she was pregnant at the start of the show, her story in this season has been very important for Robb. The fact that she is one of two female characters that met their doom in Episode VII has always caused debate and symbolism about this character. But, does not change how amazing she is.

With her strong sense of duty and adherence to traditional values, she played a significant role in shaping the young ladies into noble women. Septa Mordane’s commitment to teaching and upholding proper behavior left a lasting impression on those under her care. |
Her rank on this list is justified since Septa Mordane has not had much of a speaking part. She appeared briefly in the first season, but her character was killed off towards the end. Despite her passing, she did bring up some interesting points about Joffrey that made me feel that she had a possible future.
