Lily completed the look with dangly chevron-style earrings and black shiny boots.

Leonardo, 49, looked dapper in a shiny charcoal suit, open collar white shirt and £795 Manolo Blahnik shoes.

The pair also posed with director Martin Scorsese, who beamed alongside his film’s leading stars.

The Killers Of The Flower Moon tells the true story of the ‘reign of terror’ that left two dozen Native Americans dead.

The Apple-backed film, based on a 2017 book of the same name by David Grann, is Martin’s first attempt at the Western genre.

Lily plays Mollie Burkhart in the film, an Osage woman whose family members are tragically murdered in a plot to seize their fortune.

The star, whose heritage includes Blackfeet and Nez Perce roots, is now just the second Native actress recognized by the Globes.

The first was Irene Bedard, nominated in 1995 for the television movie Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee.

‘I’m holding it with all of my beautiful sisters in the film and my mother [in the film], Tantoo Cardinal.’

The star then noted that, in the past, Hollywood would create fictional Native languages instead of portraying them accurately and authentically

‘I’m so grateful that I can speak even a little bit of my language because in this business, Native actors used to speak their lines in English and then the sound mixers would run them backwards to accomplish Native languages on camera,’ Gladstone explained.

She then thanked Chief Standing Bear and the Osage Nation as well as Martin, and her co-stars Leonardo and Robert De Niro, for being ‘allies’.

‘This is for every little res kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream, who is seeing themselves represented and our stories told by ourselves, in our own words, with tremendous allies and tremendous trust with each other.’

The film was nominated for seven awards, yet while Leonardo was also nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama, he lost out to Oppenheimer’s Cillian Murphy.

Robert De Niro was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role, yet he lost out to Robert Downey Jr. who also starred in Christopher Nolan’s story of the atomic bomb.
