Naomi Watts Has 4 Quick Changes While Promoting Menopause Book

Naomi Watts she’s been a lady three times, no, four times over, as evidenced by a few quick wardrobe changes while on the road in New York to promote my book, Dare I Say: Everything I Wish I Knew About Menopausewhen it was released on Tuesday, January 21.

Styled by Jeanann WilliamsWatts, 56, dressed for the role by promoting a sense of strong femininity through her fashion.

While appearing on NBC Todaythe actress wore a plunging tweed collared dress from Emilia Wickstead’s Resort 2025 collection, which the designer said Vogue Runway in November 2024, was inspired by memories of his mother’s wardrobe, but with contemporary shapes.

Watts backed the idea with Loewe slingback Mary Jane pumps, which featured a modern sculptural block heel, oversized Balenciaga sunglasses, an Oscar de la Renta top-handle bag, and a minimalist gold Bea Bongiasca ring.

Talk to the host Savannah GuthrieWatts discussed breaking down the taboo topic of menopause. The actress said she is 36 and has just finished filming King Kong and was trying to start a family when she was told she was on the verge of menopause.

“It made me panic and I didn’t know what to do,” she said. “I felt very alone, ashamed, like it was over, and that’s another reason why I wanted to write the book, because I want people to understand that it’s not the end. We still have a lot of life and a lot of work ahead of us.”

Watts’ wardrobe changes were far from over, either, as she followed up with a second, similarly women’s ensemble to appear on Living with Kelly and Mark. This time she was wearing an off the shoulder dress by Shushu/Tong. During the segment, cohost Kelly Ripa aptly described Watts’ honest but humorous account of menopause as a “must read” for women everywhere.

Spotted in midtown Manhattan, Watts kept cozy in a Prada navy wool coat with gold buttons, a Prada leather mini bag and Prada pointed-toe pumps. Dan Rebecca hoops with baguette diamonds completed the look.

By the time Watts arrived at the Union Square Barnes & Noble for a discussion with a reporter Laura BrownShe changed into a sleek winter white look consisting of silky wide-leg trousers and a matching cardigan with a double-breasted camel-coloured Celine coat that reached her ankles.

She carried another Oscar de la Renta bag, the Ivy, which the luxury fashion house describes as blending sophistication and utility, complete with gold “O” emblems that pay homage to the graceful curve of the house’s logo. A fitting choice for Watts, a leading voice in menopause awareness whose book is as honest and informative as it is entertaining—a legendary achievement in its own right.
