Michelle Williams stripped down to her black lacy panties and stockings for a very risqué shoot to promote her upcoming sex-positive show, Dying for Sex.
The 44-year-old Dawson’s Creek alum could be seen touching her breasts with her tongue out, splaying her arms and legs across a bed, sucking her thumb, and eating grapes blindfolded.
The sexy spread was captured by Ellen von Unwerth at The Greenwich Hotel in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.
Michelle produced and stars as Molly, a breast cancer patient who leaves her husband of 15 years Steve (Jay Duplass) in order to explore her sexuality and heal past trauma, in Liz Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock’s eight-episode series.
‘The show careened from dramatic to absurd to hilarious to unbelievable and then back again,’ Williams explained in her New York Magazine cover story Monday.

Dying for Sex is based on Nikki Boyer and Molly Kochan’s hit six-part Wondery podcast series of the same name from 2020.
‘I was just sort of wondering what the tone would be. And nobody gave me an answer.’
The real Molly passed away in 2019 following a four-year battle with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, but not before hooking up with 200 men whom she grew to love dominating.
In one BDSM scene, the five-time Oscar nominee pretended to kick her castmate Rob Delaney in the genitals while telling him: ‘I want to hit you and kick you in the d*** and destroy you.’
For a hotel masturbation scene, Michelle had to figure out how to climax six different ways.
‘You’ve already done, like, four scenes, and then it’s five o’clock at night and you have to do six masturbation sequences with six sculpted, individuated orgasms, and you’re like, “Woo! Okay,”‘ Williams recalled.
‘I just kept joking, like, “Just so you know, this is how Molly comes, not Michelle. This is not my come face.”‘
The Montana-born mother-of-three marveled: ‘[The show] definitely opened my eyes in a way that was also like, “God, I’m such a dummy for not having realized this stuff sooner!”‘
Dying for Sex – premiering April 4 via FX on Hulu – also features Sissy Spacek as Molly’s mother Gail and Jenny Slate as her friend and caregiver Nikki.
