The pumps were crafted in patent leather material, blending together elements of vintage and modern-day fashion. Featuring an angular pointed-toe design, the British actress kept her monochromatic look minimalistic in its design, as the pumps were completed by a slim stiletto heel with an estimated height of between 3 and 4 inches in height. As for the rest of her outfit, Watts wore a matching strapless halter dress, which she accessorized with a small pair of earrings. Fashioning a short 1960s-style haircut, she also elected to keep her makeup simple with pink lipstick.

In April, the actress was joined by her 15-year-old daughter Kai Schreiber for the Christian Dior pre-fall 2024 show in Brooklyn, New York. For the event, the star chose a pair of platform shoes that featured an open-toe design, a mesh upper and gold detailing rimming the cutout. This past October, Watts attended the New York City Ballet’s 2023 Fall Fashion Gala in a pair of black Leather 80 sandal heels from Carolina Herrera. Retailing for $595, the heel was comprised of a strap-heavy construction that featured glossy patent leather uppers, red soles and rounded toes.
