Naomi Watts posed up a storm while supporting film icon Nicole Kidman as she received an AFI Life Achievement Award at the Dolby Theatre on Saturday in Los Angeles.
The 55-year-old British actress – who recently showed off her impressive physique while working out with her personal trainer – made jaws drop in a blue form fitting gown that clung to her body.
Her signature short blonde locks were parted to the side and were slightly curled at the ends as they glistened in the light.
She accessorized with long strand earrings and rings as she carried a simple white purse along the red carpet.
Other celebrities attending the event include Keith Urban, Naomi Watts, Joey King, and Morgan Freeman.
