Sansa's hairdo may be a chilling clue to her 'Game of Thrones' future

The hair makes the woman -- or the man, in Jon's case.

With Sansa aligned fully to Game of Thrones' King in the North, what of the Queen in the South? Sunday's Season 7 premiere showed Sansa urging Jon Snow to be wary of Cersei's armies and ambitions.

If Jon didn't know nothing, he might have noticed that Sansa now sports a distinctly Cerseian hairdo. Could she be turning into the very person she hates?

As Bustle notes, Cersei and Sansa share an alarming number of similarities; childhood dreams, unwanted marriages, abusive husbands, and -- eventually -- dead ones.

Now, let's be clear, unless you have Daenerys' as-yet-unidentified hair stylist at your disposal, there aren't a lot of ways to style one's long, sweeping hair in Westeros, much less at Castle Black, where the man bun was only recently introduced.

"If you're her enemy, she'll never stop until she destroys you," Sansa says of Cersei. "Everyone who's every crossed her, she found a way to murder," Sansa says.

"You almost sound as if you admire her," Jon replies. Sansa quickly averts her gaze.

"I learned a great deal from her," Sansa says.

The prospect of murdering all her enemies would certainly tempt Sansa, with Cersei at the top of the list now that Joffrey and Ramsay have both kicked the bucket. Maybe Sansa should start a kill list -- but there's another Stark sibling on top of that.
