LONDON, June 7 (UPI) -- Maisie Williams took it upon herself to correct a recent Daily Mail headline focusing on her "braless" outfit at a charity event instead of highlighting the money she helped raise for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

The 19-year-old Game of Thrones star tweeted her "alternative" headline Monday, writing "Game of Thrones actor, Maisie Williams, helps raise thousands at a Summer Masaquarade Ball for @NSPCC," in place of the Daily Mail's.

She tweeted a screenshot of the original Daily Mail headline, which read: "Unveiled: Game of Thrones' Maisie Williams goes braless in sheer lace dress and quirky headpiece at charity masquerade ball."

Williams attended the charity event, which was celebrating 30 years of ChildLine, in Bath, England Saturday. The event was hosted by David Tait and raised funds to support NSPCC's work protecting children from abuse.

This hasn't been Williams' only time working with a charity. Earlier this year, the famed Game of Thrones actress appeared alongside co-stars Lena Headey, Sophie Turner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and others in a series of "Rescue Has No Boundaries" public service announcements highlighting refugees of the Syrian civil war.

The announcements were produced by the International Rescue Committee, which works as first-responders to emergencies all over the world.
