Naomi Watts Shops Her Closet, Re-Wears 5-Year-Old Dior Dress on Red Carpet

Naomi Wattsbrought back her sheer neckline Dior dress.

ThePenguin Bloomactress, 53, dusted off the same frock that she wore to the Guggenheim International Gala in 2017 to attend the 2022 Tribeca Ball on Tuesday night.

Watts went for a more eclectic style this time, pairing the dress with a white jacket and bold black frames. Instead of opting for a classic pair of pumps, however, she chose a black open-toed sandal, showing off her red polish. Both times, Watts donned light glam, but went with a pink lip on Tuesday instead of the previous red. She let her hair hang with some beachy waves to complete the look.

“Last night@newyorkacademyofartcelebrating@kennyscharf. So glad to be back at#NYAAand back in this@diorfrock!!” she captioned her photo, showing off her ensemble for Instagram. Watts carried a small black suede bag as she walked inside the New York Academy of Art.

The 2022 ball marked the return of the in-person, high-profile fundraiser after taking a hiatus due to COVID-19. Watts is considered an avid supporter of the Tribeca Ball. In 2019, she and fellow art appreciator actressBrooke Shieldswere among those who helpedraise $850,000for the academy at the event.

Fundraising aside, Watts has stayed busy this year with the release of her two filmsInfinite StormandThe Desperate Hour.
