Michelle Williams, 43, walks hand-in-hand with daughter Matilda, 18, who is the spitting image of her late father Heath Ledger

Michelle Williams was spotted out and about in New York City with her daughter Matilda Ledger on Tuesday.

The 43-year-old Dawson’s Creek alum held hands with 18-year-old Matilda, whose father is the late Australian actor Heath Ledger, who died in 2008 at age 28.

Matilda stood slightly taller than the petite actress, who was clad in a yellow, patterned shift dress.

The mother-of-three, who also shares two kids with husband Thomas Kail, 47, accessorized with a lime green netted purse and dark sunglasses.

Her casual summer look was punctuated with a pair of brown, leather sandals.

Michelle’s short blond hair was parted on the side and slicked behind her ears.

Her teenage daughter wore a vintage, white Cassius Clay T-shirt with loose-fitting white pants with a red stripe going down the sides of the legs.

Cassius Clay is the birth name of late boxer Muhammad Ali who was born in 1942.

Her tousled light brown hair was parted down the middle as it fell around her face and over her shoulders.

The teen carried a black tote over her shoulder as she flaunted a short, lime green manicure.

Matilda’s getup was finished with a pair of black Adidas sneakers.

For her 18th birthday last October, she received a sentimental gift from the paternal side of her family.

The Ledgers gifted her Heath’s Best Supporting Actor Oscar, 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 during the 2009 Oscars.

The actor passed away after taking a fatal cocktail of drugs, leaving behind his daughter, who was two-years-old at the time. 

Williams, who was in a relationship with Heath from 2004 to 2007 after meeting on the set of Brokeback Mountain, chose to raise Matilda away from the spotlight. 

She moved to Upstate New York and said that the move came from her desire to provide ‘a sane home environment’ for her daughter.

She told the New York Post in June 2016: ‘We moved — we left Brooklyn and lived in the country for six years because it was an intolerable state of existence.’

Years later, Michelle returned to the city.
