In June 2022, Naomi Watts attended the Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York City wearing a navy off-the-shoulder Jason Wu gown styled with metallic silver Aquazzura So Nude sandals and a glittering Roger Vivier clutch.
While her polished evening look drew attention on the red carpet, the actress also spoke candidly about menopause, aging, and the need for more open conversations about women’s health.

Watts has since become one of the entertainment industry’s most visible advocates for menopause awareness, frequently discussing her own experience with early menopause and encouraging more honest conversations.
Her appearance at the event reflected that broader moment in her career, combining classic red-carpet style with a message that resonated far beyond fashion.

At the Fragrance Foundation Awards, where she presented the Packaging of the Year award for MCM Eau de Parfum, Watts said she “wasn’t prepared” when she experienced menopause earlier than expected.
Inspired by her own experience, Watts later launched a wellness brand focused on supporting women through menopause and the years surrounding it.

For the event, the King Kong star opted for a glamorous navy gown from Jason Wu’s Pre-Fall 2022 collection. It was an off-the-shoulder number with huge, ruffled sleeves, seamed cups, and a softly pleated ankle-length skirt.
With the help of her stylist Jeanann Williams, the 21 Grams actress styled her look with a selection of silver accessories. She wore several rings, bracelets, and multiple earrings, including an edgy ear cuff.

Her signature cropped bob was simply styled straight by Renato Campora, while her features were enhanced with mascara, a hint of blush, and a swipe of red lipstick by makeup artist Mary Wiles.

Watts completed the ensemble with a glittering Roger Vivier Buckle clutch and metallic silver Aquazzura So Nude sandals. Defined by their slim front strap, slingback silhouette, and leg-lengthening stiletto heel, the minimalist design has become one of Aquazzura’s signature evening shoes.
The versatile style has also appeared on celebrities including Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning, Anya Taylor-Joy, Dove Cameron, Heidi Klum, and Olivia Culpo, cementing its status as one of the brand’s enduring red-carpet staples.
