While the Oscars were the grand finale event to this year’s awards season, Williams admits that she will continue to find it difficult to detach herself from her character even now that the film’s press tour is officially over. Mostly, because the character taught her some valuable real life lessons. “She taught me how to engage more deeply in this present moment. Her ability to play with her children, spark their imaginations, and build their wonder for the world will continue to inspire my mothering,” says Williams. “Her radical adherence to selfhood, in a time when she must have stood so alone in her decision to follow her heart, continues to resonate for me.”
Williams may have spent her Oscars night celebrating her critically acclaimed film, but her fashion look worn on the red carpet before the ceremony demanded just as much fanfare. Williams collaborated with her longtime stylist Kate Young on an ethereal white gown, made by Chanel Couture. “[Young’s] perspective is what I always lean into and learn from,” says Williams. “We’ve been together so long, and her style and intelligence are my guiding principles.” Together, along with designer Virginie Viard, they landed on a white bustier dress and sheer cape made of silk chiffon, cadi and tulle. “Wearing Chanel felt like a dream come true,” says Willians. “It’s a fairy tale moment and the dress felt utterly effortless, while at the same time being incomparably glamorous.”
