On Saturday night, Naomi Watts took to the red carpet at the Rome International Film Festival as part of the “All’s Fair” season two screening. The actress sported a strapless black gown from the Roksanda Spring 2027 collection accented with white brushstrokes.

Watts’s choice of outfit had a certain understated extravagance. The top was somewhat simple, a strapless corset bodice with a few abstract splashes of white congregating on the righthand side, but the gown grew decidedly more dramatic on the way down. Peplum hip panels gave way to an architectural ball gown skirt. The dress’s black backdrop was adorned throughout with freeform, block-like strokes of white that grew more abundant toward the hemline.

Watts paired the dress with a simple pair of pointed toe cobalt blue pumps and a beignet tapered sterling silver necklace. She wore her hair half up and sported a reddish shade of nude lipstick for the event.
Roksanda’s Spring 2027 collection is inspired in large part by textile sculptor Françoise Grossen, whose designs incorporated a lot of dramatic knotting and braiding. In the WWD review of the fashion line, Roksanda Ilinčić commented on Grossen’s influence on her work, stating, “There’s something very earthly, very female about it. You know, women sitting, braiding, braiding hair, braiding dresses, braiding garments. That kind of tactility, craftsmanship, and something quite domestic, but taken to a totally different level, is something I absolutely love.”

Saturday night was not the first time Watts has been seen wearing Roksanda. The actress is apparently a long-time fan of the brand, wearing a purple Roksanda dress to Cannes Film Festival all the way back in 2015.
Watts stars in season two of “All’s Fair” alongside Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Sarah Paulson. The Ryan Murphy legal drama follows a group of high-powered female attorneys navigating a male-dominated profession. While critics were somewhat dubious of the show’s first season, its campy charm gained it something of a cult following among fans. The first episode of season two premiered this Saturday in Rome and the season is set to premiere for a general audience at a yet-to-be-specified date in November.
