For W magazine, by Mia Adorante.
When she made her small screen debut as Jen Lindley on the teen drama Dawson's Creek, actress Michelle Williams played a reformed bad girl, with long, natural blonde hair. As her character evolved, so did her style: throughout the seasons, Lindley's hair became shorty, wavier, and more edgy over all. As Williams’s career grew, and she earned roles in “Brokeback Mountain”, “Blue Valentine” and “My Week with Marilyn,” so did her personal style. In recent years, the actress has boldly sported a pixie cut of varying lengths and shades of blonde. In honor of her birthday, here's a look at how her now signature look evolved.
