Nottingham's Bella Ramsey's Met Gala outfit causes internet frenzy

Nottingham’s Bella Ramsey caused a huge stir on the internet when they turned up to their first ever Met Gala in an incredible sparkling suit. The 19-year-old from the city looked stunning in their Thom Browne outfit.

The Last of Us star, who identifies as non-binary, cut a dash on the red carpet at the annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Their Last of Us co-star, Pedro Pascal, also drew attention with a flamboyant outfit, which included a red trench coat and shorts.

Nottingham-born actor Bella reached widespread acclaim whilst appearing in Game of Thrones and the new zombie series has been a smash hit. They have also signed up for the long-awaited Chicken Run sequel, entitled Dawn of the Nugget.
