Michelle Williams is a vision in a yellow mini dress as she joins the stars at the BAFTA Tea Party in Los Angeles
Michelle Williams was a vision in yellow on Saturday as she attended Los Angeles’ BAFTA Tea Party at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The Fabelmans star, 42, dazzled in a canary-colored mini dress and her radiant appearance at the A-list event follows her 17-year-old daughter Matilda Ledger, who was spotted out in New York City.
Sightings of Matilda – the late Heath Ledger’s only child – are extremely rare as Michelle has worked hard to keep her daughter out of the spotlight.

With not a single hair in her short blonde bob, Michelle walked the red carpet in sleek beige heels and carried a cream clutch.
Her ethereal features and fair skin were accentuated with soft make-up and a delicate shade of blush adorned her lips.
Michelle attended the event solo but has been married to theater director Thomas Kail since 2020.
The couple share a three-year-old son named Hart and recently welcomed another baby over the summer.
Kail was out with Michelle and her daughter Matilda when the family was recently spotted in New York City.

Michelle dated Heath Ledger for three years before splitting in 2007 – four months before he tragically died of an accidental overdose.
Williams quickly gave up life in Brooklyn to pursue a quiet life in rural upstate New York, escaping the “morbid cult” of paparazzi that descended on her and Matilda after Ledger’s death.
“Being so haunted every moment of the day was overwhelming,” Williams told Vanity Fair in 2018. “So I left to create a healthy home environment.”
Recalling that nightmarish time, the Venom star said, “I will never forget going to the post office and seeing a sign on the wall telling anyone with information about me and my daughter to call this number.”
Williams continued to talk about her anxiety about this difficult time, adding, “When you’re a single parent and you’re missing that element of provider and protection, it’s scary.”

Years later, Williams quietly returned to her beloved Brooklyn and bought a home for her growing family.
Both Michelle and Matilda are very secretive about their personal lives and neither of them have a social media presence.
Earlier this month, Michelle spoke about finding a “balance” between movies and motherhood as she shared an insight into raising Matilda and her other two children.
The My Week with Marilyn star told Entertainment Weekly that kids “need to arrive and be supported, everything.”
“So I’m constantly searching,” she added, “because balance isn’t a stable place. Balance means you are always adjusting.”
Strictly private: Williams raised Matilda in rural upstate New York, escaping the “morbid cult” of paparazzi that descended on her after Ledger’s death. “It was unbearable to be so stalked every moment of the day,” Williams told Vanity Fair in 2018. “So I left to create a healthy home environment.”
