Last night, there was an event in Beverly Hills honoring Michelle Williams. I don?t know why. It could be for My Week With Marilyn, or it could be for some other reason. The event was called ?Forevermark & InStyle Beauty & Brilliance Celebration?. Whatev. For the event, Michelle managed to be the only woman I?ve ever seen to make a Versace dress look virginal. We get it, Michelle! You?re fragile and delicate and if we mishandle you, you will shatter. Now wear some color.
Jessica Szohr shows us all how NOT to do it. This is what I mean when I say BANGS TRAUMA. Jesus Christ, she looks awful, and I always thought she was so pretty before this. That hairstyle ages her – she?s in her 20s, and now she?s passing for mid-40s. I will say this though – I kind of love her outfit. I would wear that. But the bangs trauma? NEVER AGAIN.
Julianne Hough in Rafael Cennamo. Pretty hair and easy styling, her skin is a bit too fake-bake orange for my taste, but all in all, a decent look. I like that Julianne usually errs on the side of conservative styles.
Rebecca Romijn in a LBD that I can?t identify. The dress is cute-ish (a bit young for her, in my honest opinion), but she looks good. Beautiful face and skin, good hair. She?s lost weight recently, hasn?t she?

It?s certainly a must-see film for many, and Michelle Williams was spotted at yet another screening of her new movie ?My Week with Marilyn? on Monday night (January 9).
The ?Blue Valentine? babe looked lovely in a knee-length, belted frock as she posed for pictures with co-star Kenneth Branagh out at The Bing Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.
In case you haven?t seen the film ? which hit theaters on December 23 - a synopsis provided by IMDB tells: "Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier?s, documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during production of ?The Prince and the Showgirl.?"
Meanwhile, it?s been a busy 2012 for Williams thus far, as she picked up the Desert Palm Achievement Award at the Palm Springs International Film Fest Awards Gala over the weekend for her role as Marilyn.

One of the esteemed honorees of the evening, Michelle Williams looked picture perfect in Prada at the 23rd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on Saturday night (January 7).
The 31-year-old actress took the Palm Springs Convention Center stage to be presented with the Desert Palm Achievement award for her work in the movie ?My Week with Marilyn?.
Being doted with the trophy by her "Marilyn" co-star Kenneth Branagh, Miss Williams said she was "suddenly overwhelmed" as she took to the podium before offering a heartfelt thank you to Branagh.
Turning to her castmate, Michelle warmly said, "He was the most extraordinary partner to work alongside and the only difficult thing about it was laying down my awe at being in a scene with him."
Williams kindly added, "Thank you for those words, for that heart, for that wit, for that talent and for being by my side in our work and in our lives."

Michelle Williams was on hand at the Palm Springs International Film Festival too, joining the likes of Brangelina, George Clooney and Charlize Theron. Michelle won the Desert Palm Achievement Award for her work as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn (which I will discuss in a moment). First, lets? talk about Michelle?s look. The mini-dress (or cocktail dress) is Prada. It?s cute? but I?m not in love with it. I would have liked to have seen a version of the dress that was all-beaded, you know? I don?t think the skirt is as special as it wants to be, but the beaded top part is lovely. Michelle has also (finally) darkened her hair. This thrills me to no end – I really disliked the too-white-blonde hair she had been sporting ever since she played Marilyn. This reddish-brunette suits her coloring so much better, and she looks less like a Mia Farrow-wannabe.
As for My Week With Marilyn, I finally saw it a few weeks ago, and I have to admit, I was impressed. I still think Michelle?s voice work as Marilyn was hit-or-miss, but overall, her performance was noteworthy, and I wouldn?t hate it if she was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. I would hate it if she won, though. Kenneth Branagh – who was on hand at Palm Springs to honor Michelle – was really very good at Laurence Olivier, and I wouldn?t be surprised if he got an Oscar nomination as well. But I have to admit that my favorite part of the film was Dame Judi Dench. She only had a few scenes, and she owned them, beautifully. On the whole, the film can get a little bit cloying and eye-roll-inducing (it wants to be a great love story, but really it?s a portrait of a screwed up movie star), but the period details are fantastic, and it?s worth watching for the actors? performances.

She?s been a busy girl as of late, and last night (November 13) Michelle Williams was spotted at the premiere of her new film ?My Week with Marilyn? in New York City.
The ?Dawson?s Creek? cutie looked absolutely stunning in an Erdem dress teamed with a pair of Vivier heels as she posed for the paparazzi outside the Paris Theatre.
During a recent interview, Michelle chatted about Ms. Monroe?s public persona versus who she really was.
?How you commonly think of Marilyn Monroe- that was a character. That was a finely honed act that she put on and developed over time.?

Bringing her upcoming motion picture to the AFI Fest spotlight, Michelle Williams took to the red carpet for the premiere of "My Week with Marilyn" in Hollywood, CA on Sunday night (November 6).
The 31-year-old actress looked stunning as she worked the press area at Grauman's Chinese Theatre alongside co-stars Julia Ormond and Dominic Cooper.
Aside from Miss Williams and co., "My Week with Marilyn" also stars Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Redmayne, Judi Dench, Emma Watson and Dougray Scott.
Directed by Simon Curtis and set for a November 23rd release date, the much-talked-about film tells the story of "Colin Clark, an employee of Sir Laurence Olivier's, who documents the tense interaction between Olivier and Marilyn Monroe during production of The Prince and the Showgirl."
Adding to the already strong hype over Miss Williams' performance as Marilyn, the movie's costume designer Jill Taylor told press that Director Curtis was nearly brought to tears upon first seeing Michelle act out the role.
Taylor told, ?We had long fittings with Michelle. When she stepped out as Marilyn for the first time, in proper hair and make-up, director Simon got very emotional. Almost teary."
?He?d been working on this film for seven years, so it was a big moment to see it finally coming to life,? she added.

| | Michelle Williams in gold Oscar de la Renta: lovely or too precious & young? | | Added 13 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

These are new photos of Michelle Williams at last night?s premiere/screening of My Week With Marilyn at the AFI Fest. The dress is Oscar de la Renta and? I don?t like it much. Yes, this particular shade of gold works well on pale blondes, and it suits her figure and everything. But? I find this look super-boring on Michelle. I know that?s ?on? me, because I?m not in love with Michelle as a person or as an actress. I feel like this dress is too ?cloying? and ?young? and ?precious? on her, which is how I feel about her personality too. This feels like a very young woman?s party dress - like, this is something a rich girl would wear for her 16th birthday party. It?s strange on a 31-year-old hipster with a weird affected accent.
I kind of hate Michelle’s chopped hair too. The resemblance is so strong with Mia Farrow, it bugs. In her recent Elle UK cover profile (I covered some of the photos here), Michelle explained her rationale for keeping the chopped hair:
?What Matilda would love is for her mom to grow out the cropped hair, though that?s unlikely to happen any time soon. The only people who like it are gay men and my girlfriends. Straight men across the board are not into this hair! I cut it for the one straight man who has ever liked short hair and I wear it in memorial of somebody who really loved it. I?ve really grown into it. I feel like myself with short hair.?
[From Elle via The NYDN]
So we can?t dislike her short Bieber hair because she wears it this way for Heath Ledger, I guess. And she?s going to keep wearing it this way as a ?memorial? to him. Sigh?I know that moved a lot of people, so I?ll try to be careful here. Let me just say it this way? I hope My Week With Marilyn is really poorly reviewed. I hope no one considers Michelle for any awards this year. I hope she doesn?t have to give many more interviews.

She?s one of the most versatile actresses of her generation, and Michelle Williams is getting all kinds of attention for her new role in ?My Week with Marilyn.?
In the flick, the ?Brokeback Mountain? actress plays iconic actress/singer Marilyn Monroe, and from all accounts, she nailed it.
In a newly-released clip from the film, Williams?s Monroe hides in the back of a car so as to steal a young Colin Clark from the studio lot for an adventure together.
And even Queen Elizabeth has shown interest in ?My Week with Marilyn,? as it includes her meeting Ms. Monroe back in 1956. ?My Week with Marilyn hits theaters on November 23rd.

Michelle Williams covers the December issue of Elle UK, and these are the two covers (subscribers and newsstand). I don?t get it - why is she still doing the Mia Farrow thing when she?s promoting a film about Marilyn Monroe? Sigh? I want to like Michelle, I really do, but I?m really tired of her fragile-Mia-Farrow thing, and I?m really concerned that My Week With Marilyn is going to be a disaster. Yes, people are already claiming that she?ll get an Oscar nomination for it, but the trailer did not inspire confidence with me.
Unfortunately, we don?t have any excerpts from the Elle interview, but Michelle?s publicity for the film has begun in earnest, so I do have some highlights from other interviews she?s given recently.
Speaking to Marilyn?s ghost: “While we were filming, something came out in the National Enquirer that a psychic had spoken to her and that she approved of what we were doing and she thought I was doing a really good job. So maybe she likes it!”
On Marilyn?s voice: “I studied tapes,” Williams said. “There’s really nothing that exists of her, that I could find anyway, that exists of her having a conversation with a friend…So there wasn’t a template that existed for her everyday vocal pattern, so at a certain point you have to make it imaginatively.”
Taking the role: ?I was so apprehensive,? she says, ?it was daunting living up to people?s expectations as well as my own expectations.?
Parallels with Monroe?s life: ?There were so many connections and parallels for me in making this film. I was 30 when making the movie, the same age Marilyn was when she filmed The Prince and the Showgirl, the picture our film is based around. We filmed in the same studio at Pinewood where that movie was made. I had the same dressing room Marilyn had used and we also shot at the same house, Parkside, where she had stayed during filming.?
Wanting to know the real Marilyn: ?I had always been more interested in the private Marilyn, and the unguarded Marilyn. Even as a young girl, my primary concern wasn?t with this larger than life personality smiling back from the wall but with what was going on underneath.?
What Marilyn?s experience was in England: ?What Marilyn anticipated happening and what actually happened were two very different things and they created discord and unhappiness for her in England. She was expecting to go to London and make a movie with the most esteemed actor of the time and hoped it would bring her the respect that she deserved and craved. When she arrived she felt she was being mistreated and laughed at. Olivier sneered at her and didn?t treat her with the kind of attention she was hoping for but when you watch the film now, you can see Marilyn wipes the floor with the rest of the cast. They are all very stiff, mannered and archaic but if she were making that movie today there is nothing about her performance that has gone out of fashion or faded. She is very real, very in the moment and so beautiful.?
[From The Express UK & E! News]
Joyce Carol Oates?s Blonde describes a similar situation when Marilyn came to England having just married Arthur Miller - apparently, Olivier was a harsh taskmaster, and he thought Marilyn was the weak link in his film. When the film came out, though, Marilyn?s performance was the only thing people liked. So that part of Hollywood history seems authentic.
A new clip from My Week With Marilyn has come out - Michelle singing in the tub:
And here?s the trailer again and a new poster for the film:
