Michelle Williams Wore Valentino On Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Michelle Williams dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week, sitting down with guest host Tiffany Haddish to chat about her Emmy nomination, life with three young kids, sneaking in bureaucratic errands for a little peace and quiet, and her new Hulu series Dying for Sex.

For the occasion, Michelle turned to Valentino’s Fall 2025 collection, opting for a black velvet mini dress that walked the line between prim and playful. With its crisp white contrast collar, jewelled cufflinked sleeves, and a satin bow tie, the dress gave a modern governess twist with just enough Parisian edge. The short hemline kept things lighthearted and balanced out the tailored details perfectly.

What I especially enjoyed was Michelle’s decision to make the look her own. Valentino often encourages a full runway moment, but instead of the collection’s lace tights and moon boots, she pared things back with simple black kitten heels—an understated styling choice that felt very her.

Yes, the silhouette carries a touch of strictness, but it also aligns beautifully with Michelle’s fuss-free approach to red carpet and television appearances. It’s sharp, streamlined, and a little playful, which makes it a smart, fitting choice for someone who has always favoured elegance without excess.

Stylist: Kate Young.
