Watts draped a black, leather, zip-up jacket over her shoulders and complemented her ensemble with sleek sunglasses with thin, gold frames. 

The Mulholland Drive actress wore her straight, bright blonde bob in a center part.

She wore a light face of makeup underneath her shades as she flashed her megawatt smile while walking through the Big Apple.

Earlier this week, Naomi took to Instagram to thank fans for their birthday wishes.

Sharing a selfie with husband Billy, she wrote in the caption: ‘Thank you for all my lovely birthday wishes.’

She added, ‘Pickle ball with the hubster followed by a couples massage made it one of my all time favorites. (See the bliss in my eyes). Grateful beyond words and for all of you too.’

The post has so far racked up more than 116,000 likes from the star’s nearly two million followers. 

Watts attended the 62nd New York Film Festival screening of her new movie The Friend on Thursday.
