Michelle Williams on the cover of US Vogue

Michelle will be gracing the cover of Vogue’s October issue, promoting Shutter Island. She shows off her new haircut in a beautiful photoshoot by Mario Testino, and there is an in depth interview inside. There is a preview of the interview on Vogue’s website. I will post scans of the full interview as soon as I can get my hands on the issue. Thanks to Celebutopia for the higher res photoshoot pics.

“Women and kids really got us through the winter. One got me gardening in the spring, and that’s when it started to turn around. I think it’s something about being in nature that made it more possible. I remember being on my hands and knees. The ground was cold and muddy. I pushed back the dead leaves and saw the bright green shoots of spring. Under all this decay something was growing. Caring for the garden reminded me to care for myself.”

“I feel hopeful and grateful. For a while I thought we had lost everything. It makes you want to love better and live better and treat people better.” And she adds, “There is a great Gloria Steinem quote—and I’m paraphrasing—’Become the man you want to marry.’ I’ve taken that on. What qualities do I find attractive, and can I find them in myself? What am I missing? Can I be that for myself?”
