Michelle Williams received her dedicated beach hut on the Promenade des Planches in Deauville, France, as part of the city’s annual film festival.
The 44-year-old One Tree Hill actress will be honoured at the 50th Deauville American Film Festival.
Michelle, who attended the Tory Burch show at New York Fashion Week, will receive the Deauville Talent Award for her professional achievements.
In the photos, the Brokeback Mountain star looked chic in a navy blue dress with a pointed collar, long sleeves, and buttons along the front of the dress.
Her blonde hair was parted down the center and pulled back into a bun while sunglasses shielded her eyes from the glare of the sun.
Michelle Williams received her dedicated beach hut on the Promenade des Planches in Deauville, France, as part of the city’s annual film festival.
Sheer black tights and black loafers completed the fashion icon’s look.
“From Wim Wenders to Martin Scorsese, from Todd Haynes to Steven Spielberg and Kelly Reichardt, she stands out as one of the most emblematic contemporary actresses with a magnetic gesture, as intense as it is delicate,” wrote the Deauville American Film Festival in a statement.
The festival also praised Williams for his “admirable artistic freedom.”
Each year, the celebrities honoured open their cabins, which then become a tourist attraction in the northern French city.
Each of them is named after film industry personalities who have visited the picturesque coastal town.
This year, Natalie Portman, 43, will also be honoured with the Deauville Talent Award, while Sebastian Stan, 42, will receive the Rising Star Award.
The honour comes as Michelle’s daughter Matilda, 18, is reportedly planning to spend time in Australia with her late father Heath Ledger’s family during her gap year.
For her 18th birthday last October, she received a significant and sentimental gift from her father’s side of the family.
The Ledgers awarded Heath the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, which he won posthumously for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.
Heath’s parents, Kim and Sally Ledger, and older sister Kate accepted the trophy on his behalf at the 2009 Oscars.
Michelle welcomed her daughter with the late 10 Things I Hate About You star in 2005.

Matilda is planning to postpone the start of university for a year so she can travel, including spending time with her family in Australia.
A source said the teenager wants to spend a “gap year” travelling the world before starting her studies.
Her father’s home country is said to be an important destination for Matilda.
“She will also be spending a lot of her time in Australia. She always feels closer to her father when he is there and there is nothing she likes more than hearing stories of her childhood from her entire family,” the source said.
