I mean! It's just divine. It helps that the fit on this is gorgeous.

I honestly don't know if I've ever seen the back of this dress.

This is the perfect red lip, and I wish she'd go back to occasionally wearing this makeup look. As you'll see shortly, Michelle's makeup artist is VERY good at a less intense lip situation, but I'd love to see her dip her toes back into this.

## in Chanel, 2011

I suspect this was gorgeous in person but [57% of Fug Nation felt it was, and I quote, "mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh](https://www.gofugyourself.com/oscars-fug-or-fab-carpet-michelle-williams-02-2011?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)." My take on it now, which I think is partially about her haircut, is "I'd love to see this on Judi Dench." AND I WOULD.

Her head does look great, though, and I've always loved the pixie cut on her.

## in Louis Vuitton, 2012

I was Mostly a Fan of This, with a few nitpits, at the time. You can't see it here, but the back of the bodice is flesh-toned, which I didn't love, and also 2012 was really Peak Peplum Time and I was definitely Peplumed Out. In the fullness of time, I actually think this is pretty great. (Although I still think this fabric could go all the way around the bodice.)

I also really hated the pin -- I thought it was too twee. I think that's because Michelle was VERY twee, sartorially, in 2011 -- MANY Peter Pan collars -- and by the time we got to the Oscars, I think I'd just had it. Now, I sort of dig it. (Also, again, she's giving great face here.)

## in Louis Vuitton, 2017

At the time, Heather said, "\[o\]verall it's nice, but also a fairly tepid 'I'm not going to win so let's just be comfortable' kind of choice," and I think that's still true -- although it's fun to see her in the plunging neckline.

And the texture of the skirt is fantastic, although it doesn't really play in photos as well as I suspect it did in person.
