Saoirse Ronan has won the Golden Globe for Best Actress - Musical or Comedy for her role in Lady Bird and she looked stunning on the night as she collected the accolade.

Director Greta Gerwig accepted the award, praising her "incredible" stars Saoirse Ronan - also a Globe victor for her portrayal of the title teen - and Laurie Metcalf, who plays her mother.

Seth Meyers hosted the 75th annual Golden Globe Awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton on January 7.

In Lady Bird, Ronan plays Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson, a fiercely independent and individualistic teenager coming of age in Sacramento, where she explores the theater department, various relationships and a more colorful future in New York City, far from the California ennui she has come to know and disdain.
