Naomi Watts Wore the Sheer Wedding Dress Trend That’ll Be Everywhere In 2023

Congratulations are in order for Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup, who used their weekend wisely by getting hitched at City Hall in New York City. The couple—who played husband and wife on the Netflix series Gypsy and debuted their relationship on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last year—kept their wedding pretty low-key and casual, with Watts confirming the news of their nuptials on her Instagram with a single photo on the steps of the courthouse and the caption, “Hitched!” 

In the photo and more that were later released by the actress’s longtime stylist Jeanann Williams, Watts’s wedding dress can be seen from all angles. For the occasion, she resisted the urge to wear something already in her closet and instead chose an Oscar de la Renta design that is both risqué given the allover sheerness of the dress—a trend that’s gaining serious momentum in recent years—and utterly elegant. “Thanks for talking me into going beyond my own closet and sending me the gorgeous dress,” Watts commented on Williams’s congratulatory post, the caption on which read: “Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning – Paulo Coelho. I’m so happy you found your person Nai. Love Conquers All. Congratulations Naomi and Billy.” 

With her sheer gown, Watts added a pair of Gianvitto Rossi gold heels, an Anita Ko necklace, and other jewelry by Briony Raymond. Well, all that, and an all-white bouquet filled with peonies, daisies, and other seasonal flowers. Below, see all of the released photos from the couple’s courthouse wedding.
