Naomi Watts Turns the Office Dress Code on Its Head in Sheer Lace Valentino

If All’s Fair is about women taking charge, Naomi Watts just filed her own motion — against boring officewear. At the Paris premiere of Ryan Murphy’s upcoming legal drama, the actor traded boardroom basics for something far more thrilling: a sheer lace blouse that left little to the imagination and a sculptural pencil skirt that quite literally redefined the hemline. HR could never.

The look — plucked straight from Alessandro Michele’s Valentino Spring 2025 couture collection — was all about contrasts. The lace turtleneck top gave delicate romance, while a sternum-baring cut-out made it deliciously risqué. Below, the structured pencil skirt ballooned with unexpected volume, a futuristic spin on the traditional office silhouette.

Watts styled it with a navy suit coat slung over her shoulders, detailed with a crisp white lapel and bow — a wink to corporate chic, if corporate chic decided to flirt back. Gianvito Rossi heels, silver earrings, and that signature tousled bob tied it all together — part femme fatale, part CEO energy.

Watts joins co-stars Kim Kardashian, Teyana Taylor, Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, and Niecy Nash in Murphy’s star-studded legal dramedy, which follows a team of powerhouse lawyers breaking away from a male-dominated firm to start their own. And if the series promises scandal, secrets, and shifting allegiances, this outfit might as well be the dress code.
