Naomi Watts' Red Carpet Surprise: Is It a Fanny Pack or Fashion Statement?
VENICE FILM FESTIVAL SHOCKER: NAOMI WATTS' BIZARRE FASHION CHOICE LEAVES FANS SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS
The 56-year-old Australian actress, Naomi Watts, stole the spotlight at the prestigious Venice Film Festival this week with her jaw-dropping appearance on the red carpet. However, it wasn't just her stunning custom Valentino gown that had everyone talking - but rather a peculiar accessory that left fans scratching their heads in confusion.
Watts, who attended the event with her husband Billy Crudup to premiere his latest film Jay Kelly, looked absolutely breathtaking in the custom-made Valentino gown designed by the renowned Alessandro Michele. The dress was a masterpiece of elegance and sophistication, featuring a plunging sweetheart neckline and intricate embroidered flowers that seemed to dance across its surface.
However, it was the black bow adorning the front of the dress that raised more than a few eyebrows among fans on social media. Some were so perplexed by the accessory that they couldn't help but liken it to a fanny pack - yes, you read that right! A fanny pack!
The ScholaryNote.com's fashion-savvy followers took to Naomi's Instagram posts to share their thoughts on the dress. "That black thing looks like a bum bag/fanny pack," one fan quipped. "Detracts from the gorgeous dress. Completely unnecessary - to the designers, remove it!" Another chimed in with a similar comment: "Beautiful dress but I thought the black bow was a fanny pack at first."
A third fan couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Stunning dress but what's with that bow?" while another summed up the sentiment with: "The dress looks like it has an ugly fanny pack built in, not a good look." Another user simply asked, "Is that a fanny pack?"
But despite the initial shock and confusion, most fans couldn't deny the overall beauty of Naomi's custom-made gown. With its intricate details and elegant design, the Valentino dress was undoubtedly a showstopper on the red carpet.
Naomi accessorized her stunning outfit with diamond drop earrings and styled her blonde hair in soft waves as she posed for the cameras. Meanwhile, Billy Crudup looked dashing in his cream-colored tuxedo, paired with a crisp white shirt, black bow tie, and matching tailored trousers. He finished off his look with sleek black patent leather brogues and lovingly escorted Naomi down the red carpet.
The couple's PDA (public display of affection) was on full display as they happily held hands and posed for photographers. Naomi even went so far as to place her arm around Billy's shoulders, while he gazed adoringly into his wife's eyes.
Fans couldn't help but swoon over the adorable couple, with many forgetting all about Naomi's fashion faux pas. "Well, don't accept less than someone looking at you the way Billy is looking at Naomi, bless," one follower gushed. Another wrote: "Two thoughts – you two look deeply in love and your skin is positively radiant! The love no doubt enhances the radiance!"
Naomi and Billy's romance has been a topic of interest among fans for several years now. The couple began dating back in 2017, after meeting on the set of the Netflix series Gypsy. After making their red carpet debut together in 2022, they tied the knot in New York the following year.
So, did Naomi's bizarre fashion choice overshadow her stunning appearance at the Venice Film Festival? Well, let's just say that fans are still divided on this one - but one thing is for sure: the couple's love and adoration for each other was definitely the real showstopper of the evening.
