About
American actress Michelle Williams has been named the face of Louis Vuitton‘s newest advertising campaign.
Chosen for her ‘independent spirit’, the actress showcases the W and Capucines handbags.
It’s not Williams’s first campaign though. She featured in ads for Boy by Band of Outsiders last year, for which she posed in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery LA posing beside Alfred Hitchcock’s grave.
Her Vuitton ads, however, are a little less conceptual. With her signature blonde crop artfully mussed-up by Sam McKnight, a slick of scarlet lipstick and sporting pieces from the brand’s autumn/winter 2013 collection, Williams looks every inch the screen goddess in the Peter Lindbergh-shot images.

After starting her career with television guest appearances in the early 1990s, Michelle Williams achieved recognition for her role as Jen Lindley on the The WB television teen drama Dawson’s Creek, which she played from 1998 to 2003. Williams graduated to full-length features, including Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), her first mainstream film, Dick (1999), and Prozac Nation (2001).
From the 2000s, Williams appeared primarily in dramatic, independent films for which she has received critical acclaim. One of her career highlights was Brokeback Mountain (2005), a movie about a gay male relationship in the 1960s, which earned Williams a Best Supporting Actress nomination from the Academy Awards for her role as the wife of one of the men. She followed this with I’m Not There (2007), Synecdoche, New York (2008) and Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island (2010).
Williams’s performance as a drifter in 2008’s Wendy and Lucy earned her critical praise and her work opposite Ryan Gosling in Blue Valentine (2010) garnered her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn (2011), which also garnered her third Academy Award nomination. She appeared in 2013’s Oz the Great and Powerful as Glinda the Good Witch.
