The Michelle Williams Look Book
Born in Montana, Michelle Williams became famous in her teens for playing Katie Holmes’s blonde nemesis on teen drama series Dawson’s Creek. She later earned accolades for serious roles in widely acclaimed films like Brokeback Mountain and Blue Valentine; as her star rose, so did her reputation for wearing sought-after designers like Louis Vuitton, Vera Wang, and Jason Wu. With the help of her longtime stylist Kate Young, Williams has become known for her sophisticated, unfussy red carpet looks, often choosing to wear a bold solid color (warm tones like bright yellow and scarlet serve her well) with red lip and keeping her accessories to a minimum. See her style evolve from the nineties to the present in our slideshow.
