Although Game of Thrones was nominated for Best Drama Television Series at Sunday’s Golden Globes awards, Maisie Williams — 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.
