We forgot to cover Michelle Williams’ appearance at the Met Gala during yesterday’s fashion frenzy, so here are some photos. Michelle was wearing this black Saint Laurent mullet dress that was more pretty than punk. Her hair looked very cute while tousled around a rhinestone headband, but I’ve grown rather bored of the book-clutch trend. Is that still a trend?
Meanwhile, Michelle’s love life has been met with much speculation over the past handful of years. Most recently, she dated Jason Segal for about a year before they broke up in February, possibly because Michelle wasn’t ready to commit, or maybe it had something to do with Segal’s alleged love of alcohol. Who knows.
Now it looks like Michelle has a new guy, and they were spotted leaving the Met gala together on Monday evening. The Mail has some photos of Michelle holding hands with this dude, who looks like he could be the scrawny, coffeehouse-dwelling kid brother of Seth Rogen. Here are the details:
Michelle Williams bolted from a 2013 Met Ball after-party with a mystery man looking a bit bedraggled after earlier flaunting her dress on the red carpet.
The 32-year-old Brokeback Mountain actress was spotted early Tuesday leaving the fashion world’s annual event in New York City with a bespectacled, bearded, curly-haired man.
The two clutched hands as they hurriedly made their way to the unidentified man’s vehicle.
It seemed to be a nail-biting experience for the actress, as she kept her right hand up to her mouth as they departed.
The Shutter Island star looked like she had a long night and slumped in the passenger seat pulling a coat over herself once inside the car.
She appeared on the red carpet for the fundraising gala on Monday night wearing a black strapless Yves Saint Laurent gown with a literary Olympia Le-Tan clutch and Fred Leighton jewels.
Michelle had been cutting a lonely figure of late since her February breakup with boyfriend of one year, actor Jason Segel.

Man, Michelle really has had an hankering for slightly goofy looking dudes ever since she and Heath Ledger broke up. First there was Spike Jonze, then Jason, and now this dude. Good for her — I hope she finds the right guy who will make her happy, if that’s what she wants.
Update by Kaiser: The Mail has ID’d the guy as an artist named Dustin Yellin, but they don’t know if Dustin & Michelle are together.
Here are some photos of Michelle at last month’s Tribeca film festival for the premiere of A Case of You. I’m so glad she’s growing her hair out. Short hair is cool, but Michelle had definitely fallen into a bit of a style rut.

Lest we forget her original goofy-looking-dude-love, Dawson Leery…
I remember from whence you came, Jen!!!
lol How about Henry Parker? Her hottest boyfriend *Sigh* She didn’t deserve him. Glad he dumped her ass with a letter when he went to football camp.
Yeah I remember.
That guy looks rough…maybe they are just friends (fingers crossed).
Is mystery man a polite way of saying a Hollywood nobody?
Haha, true 😉 Like “source” is a way to let a celebrity speak anonymously.
Totally! Although the guy does look like a young Steven Spielberg to me…
Or male friend
Seth Rogen, now there’s someone I could see Michelle with. Is he in a relationship? If not I could see Seth being right up her alley. I love the outfit, even the tiara looking sparkly headband. It makes her look sophisticated but still like herself. Also, her makeup has been awesome lately.
He’s married.
I never knew that. I’m not surprised though, he seems like a sweetheart.
Agreed. He’s adorable. He started dating her in 2004 and got married in 2011.
She looks drunk as fuuuk in those pics from the Mail. And why is that dude dressed like that? I know it was the after party but come on.
I think she’s had a little (more) work done to her face. She looks more “sculpted”, and I don’t think it’s age or weight fluctuation. She’s beautiful, but her face is losing its character.
I think she’s had some work done too. She looks really different to me then she used to. However, I think whatever she had done looks great and she looks better than ever.
Love her and her talent. Yes she looks a little drunk in some of the pics but if I were there I am sure I would too. She is a great actress and just so cool!
Thank God she left Jason Segal. That dude is needy as hell, a huge drinker and has tonnnns of issues based on what we know and all the rumors out there. Guys like those mask themselves under the Nice Guy image, and then you get to know them and they’re so strange and needy. You put up with a lot and end up realizing they’re not even nice guys!
Like, how a few weeks into the relationship he had an iphone case of pictures of michelle? Yikes. That’s someone you stupidly date when you’re young. Not when you’re older and you’re a mother. You have to think who you’re introducing to your daughter, and an unstable alchoholic should not be it.
Wow – spot on assesment. I dated a guy like that; I am so glad that I was young at the time of that relationship from hell.
It sure didn’t take her long to get over Jason Segel. I think this is the fifth guy she’s dated (that we know of) since Heath Ledger and her split up. Spike Jonze, the Japanese director, some cinematographer on the OZ set, Jason Segel, now this guy. She sure gets around, not that I really care. I just feel sorry for Matilda, half orphan and with a mother who gets a new man every year. I hope at least she didn’t take every one of them home to her daughter.
WTF? Are you serious? A whole 5 boyfriends in like 7 years, what a slut!
Wow, just wow.
LOL!
She dated Ryan Gosling on the down low while they were filming Blue Valentine too. They will never confirm it, but it was sooo obvious.
You’re being all judgy about a woman dating 5 guys in 7 years. Wow is right. This woman gets around less than I did when I was single ffs.
Not saying she’s a slut but it’s been 5 years. That said an average of one guy per year isn’t that much as long as she isn’t bringing them all into her daughter’s life.
I want her shoes.
Ug, I’m sorry, I just really hate mullet dresses. She looks lovely other than that, but not so punk.
How on earth is this guy goofy-looking? He’s not from the Hollywood factory of chiseled, blond-haired, blue-eyed manbots. He’s basically a normal-looking guy, though better-looking than most. Sheesh, no wonder every male star in Hollywood looks so alike these days I can’t even tell them apart, if this guy is considered “goofy-looking”.
Right on, Emily! This dude is pretty cute if you ask me.
Generally the outfit is not so punk, but the book clutch cover mentions the band Crass, who are punk.
The guy looks fine & normal. Much better than Mr. Hathaway.
