Bella Ramsey kept things sleek and simple as they walked the red carpet on Sunday for the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

The English performer, 20, who identifies as non-binary and has no specific preference toward pronouns, was clad in a baby blue top with collar and zipper front.

Ramsey rounded out their ensemble with pleated gray pants and black lug-sole boots. They wore their brown locks down and parted at the luxe event. 

Ramsey, who played Ellie Williams on HBO's The Last of Us, was up for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series – Drama Sunday.

Their competition in the category included Succession's Sarah Snook, The Curse's Emma Stone, 1923's Helen Mirren, The Crown's Imelda Staunton and The Diplomat's Keri Russell.

Ramsey, who past played the role of Lyanna Mormont on Game of Thrones, was recently praised by Jodie Foster, as the Oscar-winning actress chatted with The Guardian about working with younger performers.

Foster told the outlet that she had requested Ramsey introduce her at the Elle magazine Women in Hollywood event at Nya Studios in Los Angeles last month. 

'I reached out to Bella, because we’d never met, and said, "I want you to introduce me at this thing," which is a wonderful event about actors and people in the movies, but is also very much a fashion thing,' Foster told the outlet. 'Which means it’s determining who represents us. 

Foster noted that the event's organizers 'are very proud of themselves because they’ve got every ethnicity, and I’m like, "Yeah, but all the attendees are still wearing heels and eyelashes." There are other ways of being a woman, and it’s really important for people to see that. 

'And Bella, who gave the best speech, was wearing the most perfect suit, beautifully tailored, and a middle parting and no makeup.'

Foster faced a bit of backlash for the interview, in which she said that she sometimes was frustrated by some of Ramsey's Generation Z peers.

The Silence of the Lambs star said, 'They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace. They’re like, "Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10:30 a.m."

'Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, "Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?"'

The 81st Golden Globe Awards will be the first major broadcast of awards season, with a new home on CBS and will be hosted by 52-year-old comedian Jo Koy.

And while to audiences it might look similar on the surface, it's been tumultuous few years behind the scenes following a bombshell report in the Los Angeles Times. 

The 2021 report found that there were no Black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - which votes on the awards. 

Stars and studios boycotted the Globes and NBC refused to air it in 2022 as a result. 

After the group added journalists of color to its ranks and instituted other reforms to address ethical concerns, the show came back in January 2023 in a one-year probationary agreement with NBC. The network did not opt to renew. 

In June, billionaire Todd Boehly was granted approval to dissolve the HFPA and reinvent the Golden Globes as a for-profit organization.

Its assets were acquired by Boehly's Eldridge Industries, along with Dick Clark Productions, a group that is owned by Penske Media whose assets also include Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter, Rolling Stone and Billboard.  

The group nominating and voting for the awards is now made up of a more diverse group of over 300 people from around the world.
