The U.S. Open women’s finals are here, with Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova facing off for the final Grand Slam title of the year. The stars have been in the stands of Arthur Ashe Stadium all tournament long, and this rainy afternoon in New York City was no different.
Among those who walked the U.S. Open’s blue carpet before the match include actress Naomi Watts, who wore a white halterneck dress, accessorizing with a Panama hat and oval-shaped sunglasses. She carried a Ralph Lauren Collection cotton bucket bag to complete her outfit.
While it’s hard to tell what exact dress Watts is wearing, this Sandro dress has a similar neckline:

Inside the staidum, Watts sat with Chelsea Handler and Retta to watch the championship match.

This is her third time attending the U.S. Open in recent years; she was also at the women’s singles finals in 2023, when Coco Gauff beat Sabalenka, and in the audience for the men’s quaterfinals in 2022.

Watts has been in New York City lately as she films American Love Story, the Ryan Murphy show about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. Watts plays Jackie Kennedy, and has been pictured filming in Central Park and on the Upper West Side.

Last week, however, she and husband Billy Crudup were in Venice for the premiere of his film Jay Kelly.

“I love fashion. I’ve always been into clothing; it’s something I notice,” she shared a few years ago about her style choices. “Overall, I want to feel comfortable, and I don’t like it when people say, ‘Oh, that’s not age appropriate.’ Look at some of the greatest style icons around — Vivienne Westwood, for example. She wears exactly what she wants and totally owns it.”
