Didn’t she go nude? I was pretty sure she did.

RTFA:

Headey found herself in the middle of backlash when she decided to use a body double in “Game of Thrones” Season 5 during her character’s naked walk of shame. When it was revealed that a body double and some CGI were used for the nude scene, some “Thrones” fans scorned her on social media.

Tons of CGI and body doubles for nudes in movies and tv.

Though Headey would perform the walk herself, a nude body double would walk next to her, and Headey's head would later be superimposed onto the double's body using CGI. https://www.looper.com/262897/the-truth-about-filming-cersei-lannisters-walk-of-shame-on-game-of-thrones/

She was naked during the shame walk wasn't she?

No, body double.

Ah. Oh well

She was pregnant during the shooting, so apparently, so they shot her neck up and used a body double

Good for her. Wasn't one of her first scenes getting railed by her brother? To start like that, and last the entire series without showing skin, that's impressive
