Michele Clapton is a British costume designer.[1]

Among other awards, she won an Emmy Award for the costumes in Game of Thrones in 2012, 2014, and 2016.[2] In 2016, April Ferry took over Clapton's duties as the new costume designer for a majority of the sixth season of the show.[3] Clapton later returned to the show as costume designer for the seventh season.[4]

In 2021, Fabergé announced a partnership with Game of Thrones; Michele Clapton was invited to co-design a one-of-a-kind Fabergé x Game of Thrones egg objet, symbolic of Daenerys’ dragon eggs, while intertwining subtle nods to her stand-out costumes which celebrate the landscape around her and her evolving story arc. The design choices are informed by Daenerys’ journey from orphaned exile to conquering monarch and her ongoing quest for the Iron Throne. The Egg sold to a private buyer for $2.2 million USD. Following the success of the egg objet, Fabergé and Game of Thrones continued to work with Michele on a new limited-edition high jewellery collection, which launched at an exclusive event in Dubai.
