Naomi Watts Handles Lace Wardrobe Malfunction With Style During NYFW

Naomi Watts owned her style moment upon her arrival to a New York Fashion Week event, stepping out in a bold black lace ensemble that was perfection.

The Watcher star’s cheeky wardrobe malfunction tried to steal the spotlight when her sheer-paneled halter top may have revealed more than she anticipated with a slight nip slip, but she handled it with poise on Wednesday, September 10.

Watts, 56, looked radiant in the dramatic, ruffled blouse with a black bow that cascaded down her back, which was tucked into high-waisted, wide-leg pants complimented by a statement black leather belt and strappy heels.

She had her blonde hair in beachy waves, accessorizing with a pair of hoop diamond earrings and designer shades. To complete her chic ensemble, Watts opted for a Ralph Lauren handbag, a fitting choice as she made her way into a show hosted by the famed brand.

Watts kept it simple with her glam, opting for a matte makeup with a peach blush and a soft mauve lip color.

The actress was all smiles while seated in the front row alongside Yao Chen, Mindy Kaling, Jessica Chastain, Ariana DeBose, Laura Dern and Jaya Harper.

Earlier this week, she stepped out with her husband, Billy Crudup, for The Morning Show season 4 premiere in the Big Apple on Tuesday, September 9, wearing a sparkling green skirt set while her beau looked suave in a navy suit, white button-up and black tie.

The couple began dating in 2017 after connecting on the set of the Netflix series Gypsy.

Just last month, Watts made a fashion statement at the Venice Film Festival, when she arrived on the red carpet with her longtime love in a custom Valentino gown with vibrant floral appliqués.

Fans were also treated to a major style moment from Watts this summer — when she completely transformed into Jackie Kennedy while filming Ryan Murphy’s upcoming series, American Love Story, which is set for release in February 2026.
