Michelle Williams enjoyed a date night with her husband Thomas Kail at the New York premiere of her steamy sex drama, Dying For Sex, on Wednesday.
The Dawson’s Creek star, 44, made a bold fashion statement in a revealing lilac gown with cut-out sides as she posed with the theatre director, 48, at the SVA Theatre.
The pair — who have been married since 2020 — got flirty as they held hands, rubbed noses together, and gazed into each other’s eyes on the red carpet.
Her platinum blonde tresses were swept to the side and styled in a sleek bob, with delicate makeup accentuating her features.
The beauty — who shares daughter Matilda, 19, with the late actor Heath Ledger — accessorized with silver bangle bracelets.
Based on the hit Wondery podcast of the same name, the forthcoming sex-positive FX series tells the story of Molly (Williams), a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer who leaves her husband of 15 years (Jay Duplass) and begins to explore her sexuality, according to Deadline.

Michelle has been busy promoting the new show in recent days.
‘The show careened from dramatic to absurd to hilarious to unbelievable and then back again,’ Williams described in a New York Magazine cover story Monday.
Her character Molly is encouraged to make a life-altering change by her best friend Nikki Boyer, played by Jenny Slate.
‘She was healing wounds on her deathbed,’ Nikki told The New York Post in 2020. ‘Her lifelong dream was to write a book and be a published author. She waited until the last few months of her life to do it. She was thinking the clearest she ever had in her life.’

She added, ‘I just kept joking, like, “Just so you know, this is how Molly comes, not Michelle. This is not my come face.”‘
And she mused: ‘[The show] definitely opened my eyes in a way that was also like, “God, I’m such a dummy for not having realized this stuff sooner!”‘

Amid the press tour for Michelle’s new show, one of her closest pals, Busy, shared rare remarks about their friendship — including the ‘moments’ she felt they ‘might not recover from.’
They first crossed paths in the 1990s while filming the hit teen drama series Dawson’s Creek, and quickly became close pals.
‘We just know each other and get each other in such a deep, fundamental way at this point,’ Philipps told to Page Six on Saturday.
She added that both she and Williams have experienced ‘so many different moments in each other’s lives,’ from ‘wonderful ones’ to ones they thought they ‘might never, ever recover from.’
However, Busy gushed, ‘When you have a friend like that, you’re blessed. That’s all you can really ever hope for in this life.’
