It's no surprise that Lord Corlys Velaryon was a popular costume this year, as the first Black lord in Westeros on TV.
Daemon & Rhaenyra

The pairing of Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen was a surprisingly popular couples' costume this year considering that the two are an incestuous couple. Fans are actively grappling with their love for this match online, and in the costume shop, apparently.
King Viserys

Dressing as King Viserys was another popular one this year – particularly the later episodes when he was sickly and injured. Fans put their makeup and masking skills to the test.
Missandei & Grey Worm

Writer and influencer Raina and her boyfriend dressed up as Missandei and Grey Worm from Game of Thrones, and fans felt it was spot on. Her tweet even got a comment from actress Nathalie Emmanuel who played Missandei on the show.

The fake Halloween costume meme format got a lot of mileage this year, including in the House of the Dragon fandom online.
Personal Spin
Had to rep for House Targaryen & House Velaryon real quick lol. It's all in the details.#HOTD #HOUSEVELARYON #HouseTargaryen #HouseOfTheDragon #Halloween pic.twitter.com/d9l0KL50pW

Many fans took the trappings of Westerosi culture and put their own spin on it rather than mimicking a specific character. Because Martin's world is so fleshed out with minute details, this left a lot of room to endow props and costumes with meaning.
Aemond "One-Eye" Targaryen

Makeup artists couldn't resist trying their hand at Aemond's prominent eye scar – perhaps one of the most recognizable features from the entire season.
Dragons
Vermithor was a fearsome beast. Accustomed to men and having had a previous rider, by the reign of Aegon II Targaryen, Vermithor was tolerant of the presence of people and more accepting of new riders.

Finally, House of the Dragon made pet costumes simple and easy this year by providing plenty of dragons to dress up as. Hopefully, those who dressed their furry friends up as Vhagar have a firm handle on them, unlike Aemond.
