I have to admit something that’s going to make me sound like a loser (big surprise, I know): at one of our photo agencies, WENN, they supply us with promotional stills for some films, and they have a really graphic one for Michelle Williams’ new film, Take This Waltz. I have no idea what this film is about. But I do know that at various points in the film, Michelle gets completely naked, and at one point she’s getting boned properly, and the promotional images are incredibly sexy. So, my admission: while I sometimes find Michelle annoying and “affected”, I have to give her props for some really ballsy performances, and not being afraid of graphic sexual content.
Anyway, these are some new photos of Michelle outside of a “special screening” for Take This Waltz in NYC. Michelle’s dress is Altuzarra – eh. It’s a boring and cheap-looking LBD, in my opinion. And I think the weird bust tassels are kind of wrong. She’s not Gypsy Rose Lee – her boobs don’t need tassels. Also: I think the white Givenchy shoes are a mistake with the LBD.
In other Michelle news, Us Weekly has a new story about Michelle’s romance with Jason Segel and how loved up they are:
Michelle Williams and Jason Segel are still going strong! After Us Weekly broke the news of their romance in March, the unlikely pair kept a low-profile while Segel promoted The Five-Year Engagement in Europe and Williams prepped for her Take This Waltz press tour. But on June 19, witnesses saw the couple looking “very lovey-dovey” at Broadway’s One Man, Two Guvnors, The New York Post’s Page Six reports. Williams, 31, looked “so pretty” in white, while Segel, 32, wore “a suit.”
The couple stepped out to support James Corden, 33, Segel’s costar in 2010’s Gulliver’s Travels. “Jason loved the play,” a Segel source tells Us. “It was definitely his sense of humor.”
According to the source, Williams and Segel “are totally in love. Jason is obsessed with Michelle.” What’s more, he’s become somewhat of a father figure to Williams’ daughter Matilda, 6 (with her late ex, Heath Ledger). “He’s been doing all sorts of ‘dad stuff’ with her, like drawing and playing music.”
Friends for years via mutual pal Busy Philipps, 32, Segel has only spoken publicly about Williams once, during an April interview with Extra. “I think we would just very much like to be happy,” he said. “That’s all I’m going to say about it.”
Hm… well, I do like it that Jason and Michelle seem to have taken it down a notch – we’re no longer getting breathless daily reports about how Michelle and Jason totally know that they’re going to be together 4 EVA after one month of dating. This caught my eye – “Jason is obsessed with Michelle….” Hm. Interesting word choice. I believe that they’re in love and all, I hope it’s going well. But I do wonder.

No. And no.

Wipe the smirk off your face.
Yeah those tassels are a little crazy. But she looks great. Love the shoes.
Agree… on all counts. Should have left the tassles home, but I like the rest of the dress and she looks great in it. Love the shoes as well!
At least it’s different style, not the “fragile-flowery-little girl” style she usually wears.
it’s true but it’s ugly and tasteless
I guess it’s true when people said that you can’t always have it both ways. 😉
Exactly! It might be ugly and cheap-looking, as the article says, but it is not waif-looking, and THAT is a step in the right direction.
Her nose’s dorsum and tip look thinner to me.
I was just thinking to myself how ugg she is. But the new nose really helps. If she grew some hair, she’d be all right!!!
Hair and makeup: Flawless
Dress: Very porny, but I like that she doesn’t dress like a little girl here
Shoes: Would be awesome with another dress
I think I double-posted. Sorry.
And seriously, when my mother was dating after she got divorced, she wouldn’t let ANY of them meet me. I was around 6. I remember when she met the man who would be my stepfather – he wasn’t allowed in the house! I can still see him waiting outside in his Pinto. I only met him after they were together for a significant period of time.
this look is 100 times better than anything she wore during her Oscar campaign
she has created such a juvenile image of herself up until now, that i have a hard time seeing her as a grown up sexual woman. just grosses me out more than anything.
^^ this
I loathe this woman like most loathe Lindsay Lohan. I prefer Lindsay even.
This chick, makes me want to gob smack her. !!
Bear in mind that although Michelle can be somewhat prissy and smug, to my knowledge she has never clipped a baby stroller, endangered her assistants life by being too cracked out to hit the brakes on her car or stolen from a jewellery store.
Bit of a no brainer IMO.
@ amelia
I love the name Amelia! too bad it’s now forever in my mind attached to a bitch who felt the need to insult me and say I had no brains. Frack off honey, I get to like whomever I choose.
But thanks for your time.
Ooh-er. Bit touchy pet?
No. I don’t like her style in general.
Don’t care for the dress.
Hope their relationship works out, especially if it’s true he’s hanging out with her daughter (that’s a big if, neither is too chatty with the press).
this dress is inspired by the tassle chest covers of burlesque dancers? the ones that look like um… little caps?
she looks like an adult woman, with the wrong dress but adult. I really didn’t like when she was dressed with Mathilda’s party clothes.
Agree that the dress is pretty meh but really I could care less what she’s wearing. Michelle is insanely talented–I predict a Naomi Watts-like career for her-they’re both risk-takers and seem drawn to really intimidating roles. I’ll watch anything that she’s in (even that ZZZZ Marilyn movie).
+1. Well said. She is a talented actor and I, too, will pay to see her in anything.
Hurry up.. I pose.. take the shots.. so I can ditch these duds for comfy sweats and trainers
So. Annoying.
I actually like the dress, just not on her and not with those shoes. It just doesn’t jive with her self righteous smugness.
what’s unflattering is her new nose job. too obvious and now the space between her nose and her upper lip is huge. so this is why she was keeping it low key for the most part lately.
First thought on seeing the pic was, though I hate the nip tassles, I love that the look is so different from her usual twee/mia farrow situaions.
Then reading and recognizing she does pic gritty, sexy roles, I thought maybe that’s why she keeps up the twee/fragile persona. It gives her acting seemingly more reach and edge and it keeps her from being some sex pot slutty gal 24/7.
Still, I’d like her to find a middle ground for her public images.
Cut the tassels off and I would like the dress. The tassels are just weird.
I’m really not a fan of her though.
She needs to break her juvenile, innocent little girl image asap. I don’t mind her haircut, it suits her. It’s her smile, head tilting, and side eyeing. Oh, her affected baby voice too. As an actor, she chooses complex roles but I don’t find her acting as compelling. She was bad as Marylin. I liked her with Gosling in Blue Valentine.
I think she looks amazing. Even with the weird tassels.
+1
I think she looks good !
Dislike the boob tassels. Ditto the gap with lacing down (or up) the front. Do not understand the white shoes pairing.
There’s an x-factor about Michelle that I can’t quite put my finger on. She’s fairly good looking at first glance but the more I look at the more beautiful she seems.
The dress is cute, it’s the hair that’s the problem. Not the cut necessarily, but the color. All wrong. Awful, terrible, not flattering at all.
The dress looks okay, even with the tassles. At least she’s not wearing another round collared, schoolgirl look, which I hate. But agreed, do not like the shoes at all, not white, and they appear not to look as well as they could on her legs. I would pair black or another color with the dress, and perhaps try a different style of shoe.
It isn’t bad. I like that it is fairly low-key. The shoes are meh, the dress is kinda nice, overall it is just a pretty simple little outfit. With a fair amount of cleavage for Michelle.
