The King Kong star opted for a pop of color on her busy day and donned a sparkly pink dress that fell past her knees.
The high-necked dress was covered with a black coat to keep warm in the cooler autumn temperatures.
A belt made of the same material was fastened securely to accentuate her slim waist. Naomi donned a pair of dark red shoes to complete her stunning ensemble.
The talented actress added a pair of large round sunglasses for a touch of class and to shield her eyes from the bright flashes of paparazzi cameras.

During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Naomi opened up about the issues of aging in Hollywood and what she personally faced.
“I was told, ‘You better do a lot because it’s all over at 40 when you become undoable. And I’m like, ‘What? What does that mean exactly?’ she honestly expressed.
‘Then you think about it and you’re like, ‘Oh, okay. When you no longer procreate, when these organs no longer function, you are not sexy, therefore you are not employable. It drove me so crazy,’ the actress added.
Naomi also revealed that she went into menopause early, which also happened to her mother.
“I heard the word menopause mentioned to me when I wanted to start having a family, so you can imagine the panic.”
However, in her late 30s and at the age of 40, Naomi gave birth to two children, whom she shares with her ex, Liev Schreiber.

The Impossible actress said women aging in Hollywood shouldn’t be looked down upon, nor a time stamp.
“We also have important and powerful experiences at this age that we should be proud of,” she said.
To further normalize menopause, the talented star created her own greeting cards called the Naomi Watts Menopause Collection. She said her vision for the brand needed “humor” and that she “wanted it to be fun”.
“I was pretty sure there was a space for something to happen in a different way, where [women could talk about menopause] and not having that same narrative as a scary, scary, painful time.
“The brand’s mission is to end stigma, get rid of confusion and mystery, and debunk myths. We want this to be as normalized as possible because we’re living longer,” added the mother of two to the publication.
