At the New York premiere of Allegiant on March 14, 2016, Naomi Watts wore a custom interpretation of a Derek Lam Fall 2016 runway look, pairing a heavily embellished silver top with a beaded black midi skirt.

She finished the ensemble with silver-and-black Giuseppe Zanotti ankle-wrap sandals that perfectly echoed the outfit’s metallic palette.

Instead of the collection’s original black sleeveless peplum top and silver skirt, Watts chose a shimmering, semi-sheer silver top with intricate beadwork, long sleeves, and a scalloped peplum hem, paired with a black beaded tea-length skirt for an elegant contrast.

Crafted from metallic silver calfskin with black patent leather toe bands, the sandals feature buckled ankle-wrap straps, open toes, and slender 4.5-inch metal pin heels.

The mix of metallic leather and glossy patent finishes complemented the outfit’s shimmering embellishments without competing for attention.
