The Creek Girls

The girls from Dawson's Creek have grown up... Of course they were already grown, being around their twenties when the show first aired. Both Katie Holmes (Joey Potter) and Michelle Williams (Jen Lindley) have had varied and distinguished careers since then.

Of course there's a particular career aspect we're interested in so let's get to it. First of all, Katie Holmes...

... Who has recently starred in the miniseries The Kennedys as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Jackie O was one of the great icons of elegance of the 20th Century and she was a great headscarf wearer.

I haven't had the time yet to watch the whole miniseries carefully, however Katie wears at least a Classic wrap and a Peasant tie in two scenes.

I hope there are more scenes. Of course actresses playing Jackie's role end up wearing a headscarf in at least one scene. Here are three examples...

Roma Downey, A Woman Named Jackie

Jill Hennessy, The Women of Camelot

Jeanne Tripplehorn, Grey Gardens

It pays to remember that Katie Holmes is a real life headscarf wearer, of course.

Now for Michelle Williams... She is starring in My Week with Marilyn as Monroe herself.

While movie-wise Marilyn Monroe has never been a great headscarf wearer, in real life she sometimes wore an elegant, plain white Classic or Kelly.

And in the movie, Michelle Williams sports a fabulous plain white Classic with sunglasses to complete the diva image.

I don't know if this will be her only headscarf scene in the movie or how long it will be, but just from the trailers and promotional pictures it looks like it's going to be a memorable one, hopefully with a lot of close-ups. Definitely one to watch out for.
