Naomi Watts, 57, Faces Sheer Top Slip at New York Fashion Week
Naomi Watts experienced a small wardrobe hiccup while attending the Khaite show at New York Fashion Week on Saturday, February 14. The 57-year-old actress wore a sheer black top that shifted slightly as she moved, causing a brief moment of overexposure.
But Watts handled it like a true professional, walking confidently and showing why she’s long been considered one of Hollywood’s most poised stars. She paired the top with a satin slip dress and a long charcoal wool coat, adding a silk scarf around her neck, oversized sunglasses, and velvet heels.
Even with the mishap, her outfit perfectly captured the “quiet luxury” aesthetic that the Khaite brand is known for, blending sleek modern style with understated elegance. Watts has had her fair share of attention-grabbing fashion moments in the past. At the Venice Film Festival in August 2025, she wore a Valentino gown with a huge silk bow that some fans joked looked like a fanny pack.
Despite the playful debate online, she appeared radiant at the premiere of Jay Kelly, attending alongside her husband, Billy Crudup. The couple married quietly in Manhattan in 2023, and fans have often praised their supportive and affectionate relationship.
Crudup, currently starring in the fourth season of The Morning Show, has spoken about how Naomi inspires him, while she credits him for giving her the confidence to embrace aging and life changes with humor and authenticity.

Professionally, Watts continues to take on high-profile projects across film and television. She stars as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in FX’s anthology series Love Story, which premiered on February 12.
Her portrayal of the iconic First Lady has been praised as both haunting and dignified, capturing the glamour, pressure, and private struggles of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s world. On Hulu, she leads the legal drama All’s Fair, playing Liberty Ronson, a high-powered divorce attorney navigating intense legal battles with sharp wit.
Watts executive produces the series alongside Ryan Murphy, further showcasing her influence behind the camera. On the big screen, she recently wrapped filming a currently untitled feature in Montreal, where she plays the estranged sister of a celebrated actress played by Sarah Paulson, proving she’s still drawn to complex, challenging roles.
Outside of acting, Watts is a strong advocate for women’s health, particularly focusing on menopause awareness through her brand, Stripes Beauty. Her 2025 book, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause, continues to resonate with readers, and she frequently speaks at public forums to normalize conversations about aging, self-care, and confidence.
Despite a minor fashion mishap, Watts’ day at Fashion Week was another reminder of her poise and professionalism. From the runway to her roles on screen, and even in her advocacy work, she consistently demonstrates that style, talent, and grace are inseparable parts of her persona.
