I was not surprised when Naomi Watts co-hosted This Is the Swell’s 3rd Annual Menopause Symposium over the weekend as part of the Menopause Awareness Month celebration.
Watts has always been vocal about her struggles with perimenopause and menopause and her desire to create a community where women’s voices are heard to eliminate the stigma attached to menopause.
The 56-year-old actress wore a muted off-white outfit, incorporating her signature feminine, sophisticated, yet casual style with a dash of sass and edge from her accessories.

Cozy Chic: Naomi’s Bohemian-Inspired Ensemble
I particularly adore how relatable Naomi’s outfit is. Dressed comfortably, she looked warm and toasty in a loose-fitting beige sweater that was perfect for the chilly NYC weather. The sweater had a ribbed neckline, cuffs, and hem and was worn over what appeared to be a white tee.
Adding to the ensemble’s relaxed mood, Naomi scrunched the long sleeves to her elbows and loosely tucked the fall-ready top into a midi skirt.
It was fashioned from soft velvet and had a zippered closure and side pockets. Although the combination might appear straightforward, the fringed hem of the eggshell-colored skirt gave the pairing some flair.
I adore how it added movement and excitement to the ensemble and created a free-spirited, bohemian atmosphere.

Turning Neutrals into Glam with Luxe Gold Accents
Neutral-colored outfits are an excellent clean canvas for incorporating glitter, vibrant colors, and exciting textures to give the ensemble flair and personality. I’m glad Watts didn’t skimp on accessories, adding some glitz to her beige and off-white look with her gold jewelry.
She fastened a long, gold chain necklace with a diamond-encrusted spike heart pendant around her neck and wore square-shaped gemstone hook earrings on her ears.
She also wore a bracelet on each wrist and a few diamond rings, including her 2.5-carat marquise-cut diamond engagement ring set on a pave diamond band, given by her husband Billy Crudup, whom she married on June 9, 2023.

Finishing Off the Look: Luxe Heeled Loafers with Podiatrist-Approved Comfort
Though I think Naomi’s attire is very realistic, I would swap out her shoes for sneakers for casual occasions. But, considering she’s attending an event, the loafers aren’t a bad choice. They are from the luxurious British shoe label Sole Bliss, popular among A-list celebrities like Helen Mirren and Julia Roberts and members of the Royal Family due to its luxuriously comfortable shoe designs.
Watts wore the cream “Genevieve” heeled loafers, handcrafted in Italy from the finest Italian patent leather. They have a wide square-shaped toebox, a metallic horse-bit chain detail, and supportive 3.5-inch block heels, giving Watts’ 5’4” height an instant lift.
What I find more interesting about these shoes is the brand’s built-in Juanet technology, which includes the innovative bunion bed, an invisible stretch panel that comforts and supports the bunion area, and a contoured footbed with underfoot cushioning.
These podiatrist-approved shoes are available for $349 at Sole Bliss.

This isn’t the first time Naomi Watts has opted for loafers to complete her chic ensembles. Naomi Watts was previously seen wearing Sergio Rossi SR1 loafers at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival. The loafers featured a distinctive folded-down heel counter design, which gave them a casual, laidback vibe.
