Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Jan 9, 2018 7:06 PM UTC Although [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/5093870/golden-globes-kit-harington-emilia-clarke/)was nominated for Best Drama Television Series at Sunday’s [Golden Globes](http://time.com/5094933/jennifer-lawrence-emma-stone-globes/) awards, [Maisie Williams](http://time.com/5007340/maisie-williams-after-thrones/) — who plays Arya Stark on the HBO drama — was nowhere to be seen. But thanks to social media, we now know what she was up to instead. Williams took to Instagram on Monday to share a photo of herself dressed up as Coraline Jones, the titular heroine of Neil Gaiman’s 2002 children’s book _Coraline_. The photo shows the 20-year-old actor posing alongside her boyfriend Ollie Jackson — who was dressed as Wybie Lovat, a character from the 2009 movie adaptation of the book — while sporting a dark blue wig and yellow raincoat akin to Coraline’s signature look. “I could not attend the golden globes this year,” she captioned the shot. “Instead, I took this weekend as an opportunity to fulfil all my hopes and dreams by dressing up as my idol, Coraline. Don’t @ me.” Fans may have missed seeing Williams at the Globes, but it’s clear she was making the most of her time off. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5095394/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-coraline-jones/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5095394/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-coraline-jones/"},"headline":"Game of Thrones Star Maisie Williams Spent Golden Globes Weekend Living Her Best Life","datePublished":"2018-01-09T19:06:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:39.905Z","description":"Williams is clearly making the most of her time off","url":"https://time.com/5095394/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-coraline-jones/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","celebrities","TV","Maisie Williams"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee16a62dd0b8856f/6988f79d22fb851935e2451e/813994150.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltee16a62dd0b8856f/6988f79d22fb851935e2451e/813994150.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Maisie-Williams-Game-of-Thrones-Season-7-Premiere","caption":"Actress Maisie Williams attends the season 7 premiere of 'Game Of Thrones' at Walt Disney Concert Hall on July 12, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.","creditText":"Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5095394/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-coraline-jones/","name":"Game of Thrones Star Maisie Williams Spent Golden Globes Weekend Living Her Best Life"}}]}] ```
