We owe Australia a thank you for birthing some of the most incredible talents in the industry. As the new global ambassador for Tourism Australia, it is Chris Hemsworth’s job to introduce the world to the wonders of the land down under. Last month, the “Thor” star delivered by hosting a virtual tour of the country at the Hudson Mercantile in New York City. Fellow Aussie Naomi Watts was one of the celebrities who showed support.

The 48-year-old showed no signs of heartbreak from her recent split with long-time partner Liev Schreiber. She looked gorgeous in a simple black midi dress that accentuated her petite frame.

The SAG Award Winner stuck to her minimalist theme with barely any makeup and her hair tied in a simple ponytail. She also kept her accessories to a minimum with just a light necklace, stud earrings and a shoulder bag.
