Naomi Watts was three, no, four times a lady, as demonstrated by several quick wardrobe changes while in New York to promote her book, Dare to say: Everything I wish I knew about menopausewhen it was released on Tuesday, January 21.
Formed Jeanne Williams56-year-old Watts dressed up, championing a sense of strong femininity with her fashion.
Appearing on NBC Todaythe actress wore a plunging tweed collared dress from Emilia Wickstead's Resort 2025 collection, which the designer said Vogue Runway In November 2024, inspired by memories of her mother's wardrobe, but with more contemporary shapes.
Watts went with the idea in Loewe slingback Mary Jane pumps with a modern sculptural block heel, oversized Balenciaga sunglasses, an Oscar de la Renta top-handle bag and a minimalist gold Bea Bongiasca ring.
Talk to the owner Savannah GuthrieWatts discussed breaking down the taboo topic of menopause. The actress said that she is 36 years old and has just finished filming King Kong and was trying to start a family when she was told she was on the verge of menopause.
“It made me panic and I didn't know what to do,” she shared. “I felt very alone, ashamed, like everything was over, and that's another reason why I wanted to write the book, because I want people to understand that it's not the end. We still have a lot of life ahead of us and a lot to do.
Watts' wardrobe change was far from over, either, as she followed it up with a second, similar ensemble for the ladies to show off Lives with Kelly and Mark. This time she wore an off the shoulder Shushu/Tong dress. During the segment cohost Kelly Ripa aptly described Watts's honest but humorous account of menopause as a “must read” for women everywhere.
Spotted out and about in midtown Manhattan, Watts kept cozy in a navy Prada wool coat with gold buttons, an older leather Prada mini bag and Prada pointed-toe pumps. Baguette diamond hoops by Dana Rebecca completed the look.
Until Watts reached the Union Square Barnes & Noble to speak with a reporter Laura Brownshe donned a sleek, tonal winter white look consisting of silk wide leg trousers and a matching jacket with a Celine double-breasted camel-coloured coat that skimmed past her ankles.
She carried another Oscar de la Renta bag, the Ivy, which the luxury fashion house describes as a blend of sophistication and utility, as well as gold 'O' badges that pay tribute to the graceful curve of the house's logo. A fitting choice for Watts, a leading voice in menopause awareness whose book is as candid and informative as it is funny—a legendary achievement in its own right.
