Thousands of pop culture enthusiasts arrived at Dragon Con 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia this past weekend dressed up in cosplay. While the outfits were stunning, hilarious and, well, shocking, one in particular stole the show.
The world’s coolest grandmother captured the gaze of every attendee in sight when she arrived dressed as Olenna Tyrell from Game of Thrones.

Decked out in an Iron Throne wheelchair, and holding a sign that read “It Was Me,” the 85 year old woman proved that winners come in all ages.

Game of Thrones fans know that the statement is a nod to Olenna Tyrell’s confession to Jaime Lannister before her death, disclosing her part in Joeffrey Lannister’s death. The infamous statement cemented Olenna’s legacy and spawned hilarious memes.

The hilarious costume took Twitter by storm, eliciting hilarious reactions.
This is the pinnacle of both cosplay, and #DragonCon. All events hereafter are canceled.

Although Olenna Tyrell is gone from Game of Thrones, she will clearly be remembered. Need we say more?
