Michelle Williams was the perfect embodiment of Parisian chic as she stepped out wearing an elegant midi dress on Tuesday (25 June).

The star is currently in France as part of Paris Fashion Week, and was attending the Chanel Haute Couture Autumn/Winter collection. For the event, Michelle wore an understated black midi dress with button detailing and a soft, A-line skirt.

She paired the piece with black ankle-strap shoes and went without jewellery, keeping her look understated. The Parisian-inspired ensemble worked perfectly with her neat blonde crop and flawless, peachy makeup.

Michelle's look is the perfect timeless and flattering look for summer, and there are plenty of similar versions available on the high street, such as this £24 option by ASOS Design:

Also attending the Chanel show alongside Michelle was fellow A-lister and friend of the brand, Keira Knightly.

The Love Actually and Pirates of the Caribbean star similarly opted for a fresh, chic look in a white midi dress. Her dress featured a statement ruffled neckline and sheer long sleeves.

Keira accessorised the outfit by carrying a small quilted Chanel bag, also in white, as a nod to the design house's show. In terms of glam, she opted for a softly waved up-do and warm, smoky eye makeup look.
