At the premiere of her latest film, Naomi Watts , 56, served up a lesson in cool parenting. Rather than walk the red carpet with her husband, Billy Crudup , Watts was joined by her 17-year-old son, Sasha, who seemed to share his mom’s penchant for red carpet style. When the mother-son duo arrived at Alice Tully Hall in New York City on Thursday, October 4, for the New York Film Festival screening of The Friend , they sent cameras flashing in coordinating all-black ensembles.
Watts opted for a black Schiaparelli design with a billowing latex skirt and a sheer, strapless corset top with leather piping. While the retro bubble-skirt silhouette is shaping up to be one of the biggest trends of the season, Watts is proof that the most stylish interpretations aren’t your mothers’ bubble skirts and instead feature decidedly modern twists. She grounded the look with pointy-toe black heels and giant crystal chandelier earrings with keyhole cutouts.
Her signature blonde bob was styled straight with a middle part, and she finished her glam with nude lipstick and a swipe of coral blush. Sasha, who towered over Watts in photos, took cues from his mom in the same dark color palette, sporting a black T-shirt under a black blazer with slim trousers paired with rugged black boots. A single gold chain moved the low-fi look into red-carpet territory.
With his blue eyes and blonde hair, Sasha was the spitting image of his mother, save for the difference in height which he seemingly inherited.
