This week, Naomi Watts joined Liv Tyler and Stella McCartney to attend a party in NYC celebrating the designer’s resort collection. Even though all eyes were on the models’  Hawaiian-inspired outfits, Naomi, who has three films being released by the end of the year,  looked expertly styled herself in solid-colored separates. Red shorts kept her comfy and cool, while an intricately-detailed cut-out top and cropped black tuxedo jacket amped up the glam factor of an otherwise casual outfit. Pretty ribbon-tied wedges and a boxy cross-body bag finished off the look. Lest the busy lady seem too good-girl, Naomi added a bit of edge by coating her toes in barely-noticeable black polish. We love that Naomi’s “daytime dressy” look was fancy enough for a fashion-industry party, but still casual enough for her to spend the rest of the day on the streets of New York, shopping and hanging out with friends. Even if you don’t have any upcoming designer get-togethers on your agenda, the look would be perfect for meeting your guy’s parents, a family barbeque, or any other occasion when you want to look nice, but not too nice.
