Splash News

It's no secret that Dawson's Creek alums Michelle Williams, who played Jen Lindley, and Busy Philipps, who joined the cast in 2001 as Audrey Liddell, are good friends outside of the teen drama and in real life. The duo has remained close even after the show went off air and are officially on the list of the best Hollywood BFFs, joining the likes of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, Jennifer Anniston and Courteney Cox, and even Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake.

Williams and Philipps were spotted out and about in Beverly Hills on Tuesday walking arm in arm, looking chummier than ever. Both women rocked casual-cool outfits, with Williams in a black-and-white patterned dress, a denim jacket, and black espadrilles, and Philipps in a pretty wine red blouse, distressed skinny jeans, and matching red heels.
