While Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen might be the shining leaders of Westeros, one of the unsung heroes has been right in front of our eyes all along.
Olenna Tyrell, played by legendary actress Diana Rigg, has been a Game of Thrones staple for the past few seasons, gaining fan adoration with her quick wit and charming humor.

Sadly, fans of the series had to say goodbye to Olenna this past week. She was sentenced to die by Queen Cersei, but she went out on her own terms and revealed that she was actually the one who orchestrated the death of Joffrey in Season 4.
In that moment, Diana Rigg became a hero to Game of Thrones fans around the world. As the Google searches for Rigg spiked on Sunday night, people started to realize that the Dame looks nothing like her character once she's out of costume.
Rigg has been a staple of beauty throughout her career. Now, at 79 years old, the actress is proving that she's still got it.
It's a little weird to see Rigg out of Olenna's massive headgear, but the bangs definitely suit her.
The next episode of Game of Thrones is set to air on HBO this Sunday night, August 6 at 9 p.m.
