Michelle Williams showed off her chic style as she headed to the Whitby Hotel in New York City for a special screening of Showing Up on Thursday.
The Dawson’s Creek alum, who looked ethereal at the 95th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, looked elegant in a long-sleeved polka dot midi dress under a black pea coat with red velvet heels.
The 42-year-old two-time Golden Globe winner rocked a platinum blonde pixie cut, accessorized with an array of rings, and carried a black velvet quilted Chanel bag with gold chain-link hardware.
The Venom star, who received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in The Fabelmans, plays Lizzy Carr in her new film Showing Up, which marks her fourth collaboration with 58-year-old director Kelly Reichardt.
Michelle and director Kelly previously worked together on the 2008 film Wendy And Lucy, the 2010 period piece Meek’s Cutoff, and the 2016 drama Certain Women.

Art Role: The two-time Golden Globe winner plays sculptor Lizzy Carr in Showing Up, which marks her fourth collaboration with director Kelly Reichardt.
In the new dramedy, Michelle’s character is a Portland sculptress preparing for an exhibition, caught up in a simmering rivalry between fellow artists Lizzy and Jo, her landlord.
Williams’ character must balance her creative life with the daily dramas of family and friends as she prepares to open a new show.
Joining her at the event was Hong Chau, who plays the character of Jo. Chau received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for The Whale.
Chau looked dapper at the special screening as he posed next to Williams in a loosely fitted gray pinstripe suit.
Williams was also pictured with her longtime friend, Boardwalk Empire’s Steve Buscemi, who was wearing a green button-down shirt under a black jacket.
Earlier this week, Michelle looked sensational at the Oscars in a sequin-embroidered strapless gown alongside her husband Thomas Kail, 45, whom she has been married to since 2020.
The five-time Academy Award nominee starred as Mitzi Fabelman in The Fabelmans, based on the true life story of legendary director Steven Spielberg.
The semi-autobiographical film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is based on Steven’s parents and their eventual divorce.
The Fabelmans also feature the dissolution of their parents’ marriage, as Michelle’s character begins an affair with her husband’s (Paul Dano) best friend (Seth Rogen).

Star-studded cast: Chau’s character is an idle landlord and fellow artist to Williams’ ceramic sculptor character. She recently received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for The Whale.
Williams revealed that she hasn’t worked since The Fabelmans since welcoming her third child in November.
“I haven’t worked since I made this movie and a part of me is still there. I’ve had a baby so I’ve been busy with it,’ Williams told Lorraine in January.
She shares her youngest son and son Hart, two, with her husband, and previously welcomed daughter Matilda in 2005 with Heath Ledger.
The couple became a couple in 2004 after starring in Brokeback Mountain together, but broke up in 2007. Ledger was discovered unconscious in his bed on January 22, 2008.
