Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup turned a glamorous red carpet event into a romantic date night on Saturday.
The Australian actress and her American husband looked smitten as they cuddled up at the 5th Annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles.
The 57-year-old stunned in a powder blue shift dress with a dramatic feathered hemline.
Featuring a puffed silhouette, the high fashion frock was sleeveless and included padded shoulders for a retro cut.
Naomi opted for a clean makeup look with a peachy blush and added a pop of colour with crimson lipstick, while slicking her flicked bob off her face.
For accessories, the King Kong actress added art deco silver earrings and a chunky opal ring that matched her gown.

Billy, 57, looked dapper in a black suit paired with a dress shirt and tie in the same tone, as well as patent leather shoes.
The pair posed up a storm on the red carpet, appearing relaxed and loved-up as they clung close to one another.
Naomi and Billy Crudup began dating in 2017 and got married in 2023.
The actress recently revealed that her first romantic encounter with her husband left her embarrassed over a common problem.
Naomi experienced menopause at the early age of 36, and had to wear a hormone replacement patch.
She said: ‘I had to sneak off to the bathroom… If anyone knows about these patches, they have quite a strong adhesive and it wasn’t the easiest thing to do so I was missing from the room a bit too long.’
Naomi dwelled on how Billy might react to her being menopausal, while worrying about whether he wanted more children, for so long that Billy eventually called out to her.

‘I came out mortified,’ she continued, before telling him everything about being in early menopause.
‘”I wear these hormone patches, and I didn’t want you to see it because then you would know I’m in early menopause, which means I am old, and you wouldn’t want me and, oh my God, should I just leave?”‘ Naomi recalled of their conversation in her book, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause.
However, Billy’s response instantly quelled her fears about ageing, as he quipped: ‘Hey, if it makes you feel better, I’ve got grey hairs on my balls.’
Menopause is when a woman stops having periods, and is no longer able to get pregnant naturally. It usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55.
The Oscar-nominated actress admitted she wasn’t looking for love when their paths crossed while filming the Netflix thriller Gypsy – shortly after Naomi’s split from American actor Liev Schreiber in 2016.
In fact, she wrote, a relationship with Billy – who played her on-screen husband – was the furthest thing from her mind, despite the fact that they had ‘simulated sex on screen many times, dry-humping each other to the point of exhaustion’.
However, Naomi began to see Billy in a different light after one of their steamy scenes when he ‘spontaneously flung a pillow across the room while ravishing me with such passion that I blushed and broke character’.
