Michelle Williams' pastel perfection for new Louis Vuitton campaign

Louis Vuitton is playing the loyalty game with Michelle Williams by asking the actress to promote its desirable bags for a third season. While past campaigns have seen the star - who is currently treading the boards on Broadway in New York with Cabaret - frolick in trunks and on bicycles, this time she's letting new creative director Nicholas Ghesquiere's designs speak for themselves with a series of intimate portraits.

Revered lens master Peter Lindberg photographed the 33-year-old toting the luxury French brand's Capucine and Lockit bags in new hues of 'Outremer' (sky blue), soft pink magnolia and dark blue cobalt.

And then there's the clothes, which were first glimpsed on the Paris runway back in March; turns out Ghesquière's debut of weighty, sleeveless A-line dresses made practical with a chunky rollneck look less suited to a Seventies teenager at Christmas and really rather wonderful on a real(ish) person.

Mother of one Williams' covetable pixie crop takes on a platinum shade of blonde for the ads, which will break in the October issue of the glossies.

Vuitton's accompanying press material explains: 'The resulting series of portraits hints at the woman behind the actress, revealing the intriguing balance of force and fragility that made Michelle Williams such a compelling choice as the face of Louis Vuitton.' Put simply, we'll have whatever Michell's having.
