Game Of Thrones Season 7: New Behind-The-Scenes Video Includes Potential Spoiler

Did the costume designer just accidentally give away a pretty major plot point?

Following on from the first trailer for Game of Thrones Season 7, we've got another new look at the upcoming episodes thanks to a new behind-the-scenes video.

The footage - titled A Story in Cloth - features Game of Thrones costume designer Michele Clapton talking us through the new costumes we'll be seeing in Season 7. It includes some fresh looks at the likes of Cersei, Arya, Sansa, and Daenerys, with some really interesting new details.

It's definitely worth a watch - which you can do just below - but the most intriguing element is the potential spoiler it includes (below the video if you want to know, stop reading now if you don't).

At one point in the trailer there's a shot in Cersei's Throne Room. She herself is present, as is the Mountain, and a woman in chains. While it's not 100% clear, it does look a lot like that person is Indira Varma, aka Ellaria Sand.

That would mean she's been captured by Cersei, which is entirely possible. Ellaria has allied herself with Daenerys, and is vehemently opposed to Cersei and thirsts for Lannister blood, so it'd be handy to have her locked-up.

Given Euron will come into battle with the Greyjoys early in Season 7, and Ellaria has been seen kissing Yara, perhaps she gets caught during that battle, and Euron brings her to Cersei. Still, it's the kind of thing you shouldn't be giving away in a behind-the-scenes video.

Other moments of interest include a close-up of Cersei's badass new outfit, a first look at Samwell Tarly in Season 7, and Sansa Stark in the crypts of Winterfell. There's also this image of Jon Snow, which could well be him at Dragonstone, though again it's far from clear.
