Naomi Watts Mastered the High-Low Mix in an Affordable Altuzarra for Target Dress and Christian Louboutin Heels

On September 4, 2014, Naomi Watts attended the Altuzarra for Target collection launch during New York Fashion Week at Skylight Clarkson Square in New York City.

The event celebrated Joseph Altuzarra’s limited-edition collaboration with Target, which offered dresses, tailoring, outerwear, and accessories inspired by the designer’s main collection at more accessible prices. Watts attended alongside Naomie Harris, Keri Russell, designer Joseph Altuzarra, and Sarah Rafferty.

For the launch, Watts paired the collection’s red wrap dress with black Christian Louboutin “Lagoula” sandals, creating a polished high-low look built around an affordable dress and statement designer heels.

The red dress featured a V-neckline, a wrap-style silhouette, and a self-tie scarf belt at the waist. Originally priced at $39.99, it was one of the most recognizable pieces from the limited-run collaboration.

Watts accessorized with Jennifer Fisher jewelry and let the dress’s vivid color remain the focus of the outfit.

Her black Christian Louboutin “Lagoula” sandals added contrast and structure to the soft wrap dress. The open-toe design featured slender T-straps, embroidered fishnet side panels, approximately 120 mm heels, and the French label’s signature red soles.

The “Lagoula” became a recurring celebrity shoe during the early and mid-2010s. Watts wore the style in black, while Isla Fisher chose the red Christian Louboutin “Lagoula” sandals with a gray Stella McCartney dress while promoting Now You See Me in London.

Cate Blanchett also wore the Christian Louboutin “Lagoula” sandals with an Alexander McQueen gown at the Blue Jasmine premiere, while Emily VanCamp paired the T-strap heels with a beaded Monique Lhuillier dress at the Captain America: The Winter Soldier premiere.

The exact “Lagoula” design has since been discontinued and is no longer part of Christian Louboutin’s regular collection. Pre-owned pairs occasionally appear on resale and luxury consignment platforms, while the brand continues to produce similarly dramatic T-strap and mesh-panel sandals.

Jill Wagner later demonstrated the style’s versatility by wearing a red version with a white one-shoulder dress. The bright sandals supplied the only strong color contrast in an otherwise neutral outfit.
