The anticipation for The Witcher Season 4 is fueling. Throughout three seasons, the Netflix original has showcased that fashion is not merely a backdrop. It is a powerful tool in bringing characters to life and capturing their essence. The striking and individualistic fashion statements of the main characters elevated the fantastical ambiance of the show, bringing an extra sprinkle of magic to the narrative. This is particularly evident in the case of Yennefer, whose entire character arc unfolds through the lens of her wardrobe. 

Anya Chalotra’s portrayal of Yennefer in The Witcher began with the character dressed as a young, rejected girl in ill-fitting, dirty smocks. This reflected her initial lack of confidence despite harboring great power. Fast forward through a magical enchantment, Yennefer’s newfound strength became evident in her choice of opulent gowns. Now, an unseen first-season look of Yennefer has surfaced on the web. 

The unseen gown delivered an ethereal, period-fantasy vibe, featuring delicate brown graphic designs on a yellow base. The extravagant sleeves, styled with a two-bell flourish, tapered into a snug fit at the wrist. Additionally, there were strands of yellow and black ribbon strings that gracefully adorned the neckline. Yennefer also wore a locket that added the perfect finishing touch to the entire outfit. 

As soon as the unseen look surfaced on the web, it had fans begging for the revival of those iconic early-season ensembles.

Fan hilariously compared Yennfer’s outfit from The Witcher to H&M trends 

Anya Chalotra herself admits to the notion that Yennefer’s outfits are truly the highlight of her character. In an interview with Variety, the actress shared that Yennefer’s costumes are her “favorite part of playing Yennefer so far”. She also gave insights on the evolution of her sartorial choices on the show, brought about by the arrival of Lucinda Wright. However, given fans’ reactions, it seems are not really pro-evolution, and want to go back to the initial fashion. 

A fan begged the makers to take the unseen outfit from the archives and use it for another season in The Witcher. Meanwhile, another fan pleaded for the season 1 costumes to be back. 

A fan also felt “robbed” of not being given the chance to witness such an ethereal outfit in the first season. On the other hand, a user hilariously compared it to H&M clothing trends. 

Netizens also appreciated the look of Yennefer’s with “hearts-in-eyes” emoticons in response. In the last season, fans saw a shift in Yennefer’s outfit once again as she gained some humility, which resembled the unseen outfit. That said, there is a fair chance for fans to witness similar gowns of Yennefer in the upcoming season of The Witcher.
