Michelle Williams Shines Post-Motherhood: First Red Carpet Appearance Since Newborn Arrives
RED CARPET REVENGE: Michelle Williams Wows on Hamilton Screening Night, Spills Tea on Surrogacy and Motherhood
It's been a while since we've seen Michelle Williams slay the red carpet, but the Dawson's Creek alum made up for lost time at a special screening of Hamilton in New York City on Wednesday. The 44-year-old actress, who welcomed her fourth child via surrogate just last month, stunned in a long, off-the-shoulder polka dot gown that left us all talking.
Accompanied by her husband Thomas Kail, 48, the theater director and TV producer, Williams looked like a million bucks as they arrived at The Delacorte Theater. Her blonde locks were perfectly coiffed, parted in the middle and slicked down to perfection, while her red lipstick and delicate bronze eyeshadow added a touch of sophistication to her overall look.
But what really caught our attention was the silver seashell-shaped pendant she wore around her neck – a subtle yet eye-catching accessory that added a whimsical touch to her outfit. And let's not forget those black open-toe sandals, which perfectly complemented her dress and gave us major summer vibes.
Williams' fashion sense is always on point, but it was her husband who stole the show in his dapper black suit and white button-up. The couple tied the knot in 2020, and it's clear that they're still going strong – after all, Kail has been busy directing some of Broadway's biggest hits, including In the Heights and Hamilton.
But Williams wasn't just there to make a fashion statement; she also used the opportunity to celebrate her love for theater. The actress was joined by her Dawson's Creek co-star Busy Philipps, 46, who stunned in a metallic floor-length silver gown that shimmered under the spotlight. We can only imagine what they chatted about backstage – perhaps the latest scoop on their former show or some behind-the-scenes gossip?
Of course, the real tea came when we learned about Williams' new addition to her family. In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, the actress revealed that she had welcomed her fourth child via surrogate – and that it was a baby girl! The mom-of-four also gave credit to her incredible surrogate, Christine, who has been keeping up with the demands of raising four tiny humans.
When guest host Tiffany Haddish complimented Williams on her post-baby figure, the actress couldn't help but spill the tea. "I didn't realize you had three little ones," Haddish said, before praising Williams' physique. "Can I just say that your body looks amazing, 'cause I would have never thought you had any!"
Williams replied with a wink: "Then I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, cuz this last baby did not come through my body." She also hinted at the sex of the newborn, saying: "But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there - thank you, Christine."
And it seems that Williams' gratitude for her surrogate extends far beyond just giving birth – she's also grateful for the extra set of hands she needs to balance motherhood with her Hollywood career. In an interview, the actress confessed: "Everything's good and under control. I'm the adult. I'm trying to figure out the sort of life-work balance."
She continued: "I hear a lot of people are talking about self-care, and I'm just wondering when. Because I'm a working mom. Like, I already have the guilt, and I don't want to take more time away from them, but I understand, like, I need to fill up the tank."
It's clear that Williams is juggling multiple roles – motherhood, acting, and wife-ness – all at once. But with her red carpet appearance on Wednesday, it's safe to say she's still got it all together.
TheScholarlyNote.com reports that Williams was spotted with her five-year-old son Hart Kail in Brooklyn just the day prior, looking like a happy family. They were soaking up the last days of summer alongside their youngster, who was clad in a tank top and flip flops – a far cry from his mom's glamorous look on Wednesday.
As for the other kids? Well, Williams also shares two young children with Thomas Kail, including a second child born in 2022 whose name has not yet been revealed. And let's not forget about her eldest daughter Matilda, who was recently seen in New York and is now 19 – a grown woman who's clearly carrying on her mom's legacy.
