Michelle Williams gave us some chic workwear inspiration when stepping out in N.Y.C. yesterday afternoon.
Leaving ABC Studios after filming The View, the actress was snapped wearing a sleek office-appropriate outfit as she darted from the building to her awaiting car.
In a blue and white striped button-up shirt and contrasting check blazer, Williams gave us all a lesson in artful clashing. She took a casual approach further down with straight-leg jeans in a classic blue wash that cropped at the ankle.
On her feet were black leather “Ava” ballet flats by The Row, confirming all our suspicions that Mary Janes may be the shoe of the season. Comfortable, versatile for in-between weather, and easily dressed up or down, the retro shoe style has been making a major comeback as of late. Spotted on the likes of Zoë Kravitz, Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, Jennifer Lawrence and Gigi Hadid, it’s clear they’re the reigning shoe of Hollywood and beyond.
Williams kept her platinum hair in a signature blonde pixie cut and left her makeup minimal and rosy.
Promoting her new film Showing Up, where she will play a sculptor trying to balance her creative life with the demands of her personal life, the 42-year-old has received excellent reviews for the film, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival last May.
Having had a relatively low-key few years, the Dawson’s Creek alum opened up about how Brokeback Mountain, where she starred with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, left her confused about her career.
“It was really unnerving,” she said during an appearance on Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist. “Like, what do you do? What do you do next?”
“I never really had attention on me before in that kind of a way, and I think that that attention can be sort of destabilising,” she explained, adding, “before that, I didn’t think anybody was really paying attention or really cared that much.”
“Now it feels like, ‘Well, people are watching. What if I make a mistake?’ That’s really scary. What would happen to me?'”
