Michelle Williams Stunned in a Black Velvet Minidress for a Rare Date Night With Husband Thomas Kail

Michelle Williams and her theater director husband Thomas Kail prefer to keep their relationship as low key as possible. But every once in a while, they'll make a rare joint appearance just to remind everyone that they are one of the most stylish couples around. 

Case in point? On Wednesday, the pair broke their stay-at-home streak and walked the red carpet together at the 2023 Creative Time Gala in New York City. For the occasion, Michelle wore an outfit that was worth the five-month-long wait (she was last seen at the Tony Awards in June), and opted for a black velvet minidress that featured an off-the-shoulder silhouette and ruffled statement sleeves. She accessorized with strappy black heels, a braided gold clutch, and diamond drop earrings. Meanwhile, her blonde pixie cut was complemented by her glowing complexion and a swipe of pink lipstick. 

Kail, for his part, coordinated with his wife in a smart black suit with a white button-down underneath and matching black dress shoes. The couple posed on the red carpet together solo, as well as with their actor friend Jeremy Strong. 

Williams and Kail first met while working on the set of the FX series Fosse/Verdon in 2018 while the actress was still married to musician Phil Elverum. Within a year, they had their first child together, a son named Hart, and got engaged ahead of his arrival. The two later got married during a secret ceremony in March 2020, before welcoming a second baby whose name and gender have yet to be disclosed.
