Aussie superstar Naomi Watts is not only renowned for her incredible skills as an actress, but has also solidified her status as a style icon.
Since she first made her mark in Hollywood, Naomi has attended her fair share of glitzy events, including multiple appearances at the iconic Met Gala, where she has shown off her flair for fashion.
Naomi has debuted some iconic looks on the red carpet over the years and the Met Gala is no different.
The 55-year-old has attended the prestigious event 10 times already, and is reportedly set to grace the red carpet again in 2024.
In honour of the gala, which will be held on Monday 6 May in New York, we’ve pulled together a list of her best looks at the Met Gala in years past.
