Naomi Watts attended a Sag Harbor Cinema 2024 Benefit Auction held yesterday in Bridgehampton, New York. The event was held in order to honor Watts’ impressive acting career thus far. During the ceremony, the “King Kong” star was given the Sag Harbor Cinema Voyager award.

The “Mulholland Drive” actress turned up in a strappy pair of black sandal heels. The dressy pair featured black leather uppers, rounded toes featuring thin intersecting straps and adjustable buckle closures that offered a customizable fit. Gold hardware was fixed to the ankle straps at the front, offering the shoe silhouette a touch of shine.

2 to 3-inch stiletto heels finished off the summer-ready set, giving Watts a subtle boost in height. Comparable styles to the thespian’s own can be purchased from beloved high-end and affordable brands like Jimmy Choo, Aldo, Versace, Asos and Gianvito Rossi, among others.

Watts’ footwear pick can be likened to a gladiator style with less of a caged appearance, allowing the star’s feet to breathe. Dressy and versatile, black sandal heels pair well with just about everything from formal dresses to casual shorts.

Cocktail ready, Watts was styled in a black strapless maxi dress featuring sheer muslin trim, imparting a dainty touch. The dress was form-fitted and simple, accessorized with equally simple gold jewelry. The British actress has always been a master of minimal dressing. Always chic but simple, Watts often incorporates neutral and simplistic silhouettes into her wardrobe.

When it comes to fashion, Watts is always dressed to impress on and off the red carpet. She has a perpetually chic and classic style. She knows how to merge super-glam designers with laidback attainable separates.

Countering her wardrobe’s high opulence are wearable pieces designed by Zimmerman, Miu Miu, Magda Butrym and The Vampire’s Wife. As for footwear, Watts tends to gravitate towards loafers, block-heeled sandals, sneakers and a variety of pumps.
