Latest Shocking Entertainment News: Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps' Best BFF Moments Over the Years
From costars to BFFs! Dawson’s Creek’s love triangle between Joey, Pacey and Dawson still has fans talking decades later, but many viewers are even bigger fans of Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams’ friendship, which all started on the teen drama.
Williams played Jen Lindley on the WB series for three seasons before Philipps joined the cast as Joey’s (Katie Holmes) college roommate, Audrey Liddell, during season 4. Their chemistry was instant, and more than 20 years later, the women are still a big part of each other’s lives.
Over the years, the Busy Tonight alum has accompanied her best friend on the red carpet and often gushes about how proud she is of the Oscar nominee.
“We met 20 years ago, which makes no sense because we’re still 27,” Philipps joked via Instagram in September 2020 while paying tribute to Williams on her 40th birthday. “I really wish I could be with my friend tonight celebrating how special and incredible and brilliant she is. And to tell her in person how I’m eternally grateful that we met all those years ago because there’s no one I’d rather weather all the storms with and celebrate all the wonderful things with and cry and cry and laugh and laugh and drink and not drink with.”
The Cougar Town alum added: “I can’t wait to be old someday with my friend and go to farmers markets in the countryside with [Michelle] — my long grey hair parted in the middle and pulled tightly back in a bun and she in some giant sun hat, protecting her still perfect porcelain skin.”
In January 2021, Philipps exclusively told Us Weekly about her and Williams’ favorite awards season ritual, the post-show breakdown.
“Post any awards show, which of course everybody was like, ‘Oh, we love seeing you at the award shows together.’ We always end up back at her hotel room, you know, because she doesn’t live in Los Angeles, and we just get undone together,” the Girls5Eva star said.
Philipps noted that the ladies take out their extensions, put on sweats and get cozy before going to eat Jon & Vinny’s. “[We are] a little bit like old lady glamour, without the cigarettes, because we don’t smoke,” she joked.
Four months later, the “Busy Philipps Is Doing Her Best” podcast host told Us that she wouldn’t rule out working with Williams again soon. The dynamic duo last appeared together in Amy Schumer‘s I Feel Pretty in 2018.
“It fell into place because my then-husband [Marc Silverstein] was directing it,” she said in May 2021. “I guess now that Michelle — that Tommy [Kail]’s a director too, maybe we can get him to direct something for the two of us.”

"It's the first time that I'm not there with my best friend when she's nominated, but I'm here in New York and I'm trying to figure out how to watch it," Philipps said via her Instagram Story in March 2023. She called her pal's red carpet look "flawless" during the pre-show and ultimately watched Williams lose the Best Actress trophy to Michelle Yeoh. Philipps said she'll be with Williams when she finally wins an Oscar. The actress was nominated for the fifth time for The Fabelmans. "Listen, when Michelle's sixth nomination [happens], it's gonna be the one. I'm gonna be with her. She's gonna win," Philipps shared with her Instagram followers. Shutterstock (2)
Philipps congratulated her Dawson’s Creek costar on scoring a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in The Fabelmans. “BRB- I’m just gonna go back in time and tell this kid that she’s going to have 5 OSCAR NOMINATIONS in the next 20 years. 😭 And a BEAUTIFUL family. And be surrounded by love. (And GORGEOUS CLOTHES),” the Freaks and Geeks alum wrote via Instagram alongside a throwback snap of Williams. “But tbh- that’s probably along the lines of what I was saying to her then. I love you MW.” She continued, “Proud of you forever for building the life and career you dreamed of, even though the absolute overwhelming grief of being human had you wondering if you could at times. But then you would dig deep and try again. It’s one of my favorite things about you. You have never NEVER stopped trying. A new way, a new recipe, a new parenting style, a new author, a new approach to work, a new love, a new role…but always the same loving brilliant gentle sensitive funny wild thoughtful beautiful beautiful BEAUTIFUL you. ❤️🌟.” Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

Philipps was by Williams' side at the Gotham Awards in November 2022, watching as the Fabelmans star paid tribute to their former costar Mary Beth Peil in her speech. “My bff was honored at the Gotham Awards last night with the Artist Tribute and I was so honored, as always, to be her date. Paul Dano (now officially one of my favorite people) gave such a thoughtful and beautiful speech to Michelle about her work as an artist and a person and a mother and obviously I cried,” Philipps wrote via Instagram at the time. “And Michelle, in true Michelle form, took the opportunity of being honored to pay tribute and honor the great Mary Beth Peil (aka Gramz from Dawsons Creek) and to talk about how working with Mary Beth changed Michelle’s life and career. 😭❤️ Anyway, it was really beautiful and I wish Mary Beth had been there with us (she was supposed to be but she didn’t feel well ☹️).” Gregory Pace/Shutterstock
In May 2021, three years after the duo shared the screen in I Feel Pretty, Philipps joked that there was one thing that could get her to team up with Williams again in the future. "It fell into place because my then-husband [Marc Silverstein] was directing it," she told Us exclusively before joking that Williams' husband, Thomas Kail, could take on their next project.

The Freaks and Geeks alum exclusively told Us in May 2021 how her relationship with the Blue Valentine star shifted amid the coronavirus pandemic. “It has been a little bit tricky because while we’re sort of so much closer in some way, we haven’t been able to, like, really cuddle and spend as much time together as we would love,” Philipps said, noting she moved from L.A. to New York amid COVID-19 to film Girls5Eva, which put her in the same city as Williams. The duo were able to see one another toward the end of 2020 after social distancing apart for a little bit. “Both of our families quarantined and then ended up spending some time over the holiday break together. And that was, like, really, really wonderful,” Philipps explained. “And I am so thrilled to be close to her now.” Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock
“Post any awards show, which of course everybody was like, ‘Oh, we love seeing you at the award shows together.’ We always end up back at her hotel room, you know, because she doesn't live in Los Angeles, and we just get undone together,” Philipps exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2021, referencing her awards season ritual with Williams. “We're just, like, taking out extensions, taking off eyelashes, washing our faces, putting on sweats, putting on cozy outfits,” she said. “And then we go eat at Jon & Vinny's or go get food.
