Naomi Watts' 26 best looks

Since she first stepped into the spotlight, Naomi Watts' best looks have dominated the red carpet. The actress has stunned in sweeping gowns and cool tailoring over the years, wearing outfits from some of the planet's most coveted designers, and with a personal style that exudes classic old Hollywood in its sleek silhouettes and lashings of diamonds.

Her on-screen career began in TV in the 1990s, during which time she notably starred in the Australian soap Home and Away. Following this, she got her big break in the film Mulholland Drive in 2001 followed by 2002's The Ring. She was subsequently nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Oscars for 21 Grams, released in 2003.

The star - who shares two children with her ex-partner actor Liev Schreiber - has gone on to star in the likes of King Kong, The Impossible, Birdman and Diana, and has also appeared in the series Twin Peaks and The Watcher. Alongside acting, she launched a skincare line Onda Beauty in 2016 and unveiled a wellness brand for menopausal women called Stripes in 2022.

Watts has long been a darling of the fashion world, arriving at film premieres clothed in couture, sitting front row at shows and appearing in campaigns for Fendi. While the A-lister favours dresses of all hues and hem lengths, she also understands the power of a trouser suit. Similarly, while she leans towards a more neutral colour palette and understated accessories, she ramps up the glamour when the occasion calls for it.
