Nominee Michelle Williams chose a red dress for the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday.  The asymmetrical Valentino gown featured lace detail at the bodice and sleeves.  Red ankle strap sandals completed Williams’ monochromatic ensemble.

This is a nice dress and of course Williams is always very pretty, but I’m not crazy about this look.   There’s no “WOW!” to it, know what I mean?   The shoes are fab, though – they just need to be paired with a different dress.

More pictures follow.

Michelle Williams is taking on the screen legend and icon Marilyn Monroe (see her Monroe inspired October cover and photo spread for Vogue here) for the biopic My Week with Marilyn.

The story takes place during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl, which Monroe and Sir Lawrence Olivier (played by Kenneth Branagh) filmed in the summer of 1956 in England.

Monroe, who was just married to playwright Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott) at the time, was accompanied by production assistant Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) who went on to write about the experience – with one week missing.

That stretch of time is the film’s core – when the 23 year-old was enraptured with the Hollywood star and pulled into her life.

Dominic Cooper, Dame Judi Dench, Julia Ormond and Emma Watson costar.

For any actress to play a larger-than-life persona like Monroe, the task can be daunting and intimidating so will she pull it off? Check out the trailer and see what you think.

Taking on the role of Marilyn Monroe is a daunting task for any actress and Michelle Williams does so for both her upcoming film, My Week with Marilyn and for the Vogue October issue.

The 31 year-old actress said that no matter how hard she tried to convince herself not to take on the role of Monroe, she felt compelled to do it.

“As soon as I finished the script [for My Week with Marilyn], I knew that I wanted to do it, and then I spent six months trying to talk myself out of it. But I always knew that I never really had a choice. I’ve started to believe that you get the piece of material that you were ready for.”

Williams said that being Monroe around other people gave her a small sense of what the iconic blonde must’ve felt as people, men in particular, watched her.

“But I do remember one moment of being all suited up as Marilyn and walking from my dressing room onto the soundstage practicing my wiggle,” Williams tells the magazine. “There were three or four men gathered around a truck, and I remember seeing that they were watching me come and feeling that they were watching me go–and for the very first time I glimpsed some idea of the pleasure I could take in that kind of attention; not their pleasure but my pleasure. And I thought, Oh, maybe Marilyn felt that when she walked down the beach.”

My Week with Marilyn will debut at the New York Film Festival and will open in theaters on November 4th.

The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards took place in Beverly Hills, California at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday January 16th.

Michelle Williams was on hand as a nominee in Best Actress Drama category for her role in Blue Valentine. Williams lost out to Black Swan’s Natalie Portman.

Williams wore a lovely whimsical Valentino Resort 2011 taupe colored dress with embroidered daisies and daisy straps. I like this dress, but it looks too casual for the Golden Globes.

The 63rd National Board of Review of Motion Picture Gala was held Tuesday January 11th at Cipriani’s in New York City.

Some very fashionable stars attended the annual event including Michelle Williams, Jennifer Garner and Blake Lively.

Let’s break down the individual looks:

Jennifer Lawrence, star of Winter’s Bone wore Proenza Schouler bustier dress in a very bland monotone/washed out look. She a stunning girl – she just needed a dash of color.

Blue Valentine actress Michelle Williams chose a lacy embroidered Oscar de la Renta look with a poufy tulip skirt. I like the dress on her except it emphasized how short she is.

Check out the rest of the ladies inside. (Read the article)

Michelle Williams is surrounded by an ethereal pink chiffon Valentino cloud for the cover of Marie Claire’s February 2011 issue. Williams radiates happiness from the front of the magazine.

The Blue Valentine actress shared with Marie Claire a bit about advice a famous friend gave her:

“To give credit where credit is due, I was sharing a difficulty I was experiencing with Reese Witherspoon, and she said, ‘Yes, I understand, but think about how much more difficult this would be without the luxury of a reliable, steady income.”

Williams editorial and photo shoot for the publication is called “Belle Michelle.” Appropriate, yes?

Michelle Williams has been working steadily and quietly building a career that she is proud of. She has consistently found parts in lower budget, indie films instead of taking more mainstream flicks with high box office expectations. But Williams didn’t always have the indie cred she has built. She did start out on a very popular show: Dawson’s Creek.

Creek, was created by Kevin Williamson (of The Vampire Diaries and Scream franchise) and Williams found herself among the teen trials and tribulations of Joey (Katie Holmes) Dawson (James Van Der Beek) and Pacey (Joshua Jackson.) Of her time as Jen on the popular show, the Blue Valentine star says she was able to discover and hone her own career designs:

“I said to a friend [that] being on ‘Dawson’s Creek’ was kind of like being a mobster. You set up a shop selling pizza but in the back you’re laundering money. You’re doing one thing in plain sight and secretly plotting something else,” she says. “I was plotting my tastes, my interests, my beliefs and hopes for what I could be.”

Williams says she is glad she took the road she did – harder yes, but feels her patience is paying off.

Blue Valentine with costar Ryan Gosling opens December 31st in limited theaters.
