While there was no SHAME for Margaery in Season 5, she did find herself - like her rival Cersei - under the intense gaze of the High Sparrow, and arrested for her part in covering up her brother Loras' sins against the Seven.

Given that her crimes aren't considered as sinful as Cersei's, there's going to be no repeat of the intense Walk of Shame scene, and indeed we can expect Margaery to be working with the Faith in Season 6. 

The trailer saw her accepting the High Sparrow's hand, and a later shot appeared to show her by his side on the steps of the Sept of Baelor, meaning that she will likely pledge her allegiance to him and his cause. 

"Margaery is a savvy chick and she’s trying to find an angle - she’s trying to find a way to get out of that cell so it’s pretty amusing and ingenious the route she decides to take," Natalie Dormer told Women's Health last year. That backs up the idea of her appearing penitent for her crimes in order to work her way out of a stick situation, while the actress told Radio Times:

"In Season 6...what you see with Margaery is that the reigns have been taken away from her, so it’s like she’s not in charge of her destiny any more. And if she’s not in charge of her destiny how does she reclaim that power you see her wield for the first few years?" 

Probably by aligning with the Faith, being found not guilty, and then using them against Cersei.
