Naomi Watts found a way to make a drizzly day sunnier while walking her beloved dog Izzy in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood on Thursday.
The 55-year-old Feud actress adopted her fuzzy little ‘sidekick’ in 2020 from the LA non-profit Tobie’s Small Dog Rescue.
Naomi – who wed her former Gypsy leading man Billy Crudup on June 9 – donned a large colorful knit scarf around her neck as she strolled with her precious pooch.
Watts was bundled up in a camel coat over a white T-shirt tucked into baggy blue jeans and white sneakers.
The two-time Oscar nominee pulled her signature blonde bob into a tidy updo for the occasion.

Naomi accessorized her winter attire with large Jackie O-style shades over her make-up free complexion.
Missing from Watts’ side were her two children – Sasha, 16; and Kai, 15 – from her 11-year relationship with her Painted Veil co-star Liev Schreiber, which amicably ended in 2016.
The British-born Australian just began production on Scott McGehee and David Siegel’s big-screen adaptation of Sigrid Nunez’s 2018 novel The Friend, and she’s acting opposite a ‘gigantic’ Great Dane called Bing.
‘I have a dog that is six pounds. This dog is 150 pounds, I believe. And it’s my costar. He really is gigantic,’ Naomi said on Wednesday’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
‘It’s not often that a dog has the starring role. He’s a special dog. Very lovable. He’s a good. I have to have all kinds of doggy trainings. You know, every 20 minutes, we have to go through all of these – these tricks. He can do a lot of things.’
The Friend – which won the National Book Award for Fiction – centers on a Manhattan writer who inherits a Great Dane called Apollo after her best friend and mentor commits suicide, and how they both handle the loss.
Watts was promoting her role as former Vogue editor Barbara ‘Babe’ Paley in the second season of Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, which premieres January 31 on FX and February 1 on Hulu.
‘[Creator] Ryan Murphy creates the most incredible world of tension and drama and betrayal – very talented guy,’ the Mulholland Drive alum gushed.

‘And [he] creates all of these fantastic roles for women. You know, you never see that many women coming together and also being friends, which is nice. They’re not against each other.’
Naomi also executive produced the ‘original Housewives’ tale centered on acclaimed writer Truman Capote’s (Tom Hollander) betrayal of his socialite ‘Swan’ gal pals in 1976 after Esquire published chapters from his unfinished novel Answered Prayers.
The fall-out is depicted in showrunner Jon Robin Baitz’s small-screen adaptation of Laurence Leamer’s 2021 book Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era.
Feud: Capote and The Swans also stars Demi Moore, Calista Flockhart, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Jessica Lange, Joe Mantello, Molly Ringwald, Russell Tovey Pawel Szajda, Yuval David, Scott Zimmerman, Jeffrey Grover, and the late Treat Williams.
All eight episodes were directed by two-time Oscar nominee Gus Van Sant (To Die For, Good Will Hunting, Drugstore Cowboy).
Later on Thursday, Watts stepped out in Midtown Manhattan for an event wearing a strapless black silk top, matching wide-leg trousers, and heels selected by stylist Jeanann Williams.
Hairstylist Renato Campora coiffed the Independent Spirit Award winner’s middle-parted flip and make-up artist Mary Wiles brought out her natural beauty.
Last month, Naomi wrapped a mystery role in Audrey Diwan’s erotic drama Emmanuelle, which is a remake of Just Jaeckin’s 1974 cult flick.
The upcoming movie also stars Noemie Merlant, Will Sharpe, Jamie Campbell Bower, Chacha Huang, and Anthony Wong.
