Mom's night out! Naomi Watts shimmers in backless gold and black backless gown at People's Choice Awards

Naomi Watts made a stunning transformation.
The Australian actress stopped the presses at the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday with her glamorous turn on the red carpet.
Naomi was a breathtaking blend of sexiness and elegance in her Alexander McQueen ensemble which featured a backless gold top with gem encrusted collar and her floor-length trailing black skirt.

Wearing her golden-blonde hair half up, half brushing the side of her cheek, the 44-year-old actress brought a big dose of movie star glamour to the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.

 

Naomi, who stars in the film The Impossible about a family torn apart in the aftermath of a devastating tsunami, wore a light dusting of make-up to accentuate her delicate features.
Her jewelry by Jennifer Meyer was minimal as well, with fragile gold earrings dangling from her ears and slim bracelets gracing both of her wrists.
She carried with her a Jimmy Choo bag that matched her Jimmy Choo heels.

Being an A-lister, Naomi probably had a little help from a professional stylist, but she was the one who wore it all so well.
Naomi's glossy star presence was quite a contrast to how she looked just the day before.
On Tuesday the busy mother of two was spotted shopping in the posh Los Angeles neighbourhood of Brentwood with her five-year-old son, Sasha.

Casual by day: Naomi was dressed comfortably in faded jeans and brown jacket for her daytime outing

Naomi was virtually make-up free, with her hair casually let down and her tinted sunglasses on top of her head.
Her outfit spoke of simple chic and comfort, as seen in the black skinny jeans, print blouse and short-cropped black jumper over which she wore a jean jacket.
Naomi showed some fashion sense even on this casual jaunt by wearing a black Gucci shoulder bag.
She was obviously doing some light shopping for the big evening ahead, for she carried a single brown bag.

Fresh face: Naomi wore virtually no make-up and let her golden-blonde hair fall naturally around her shoulders

Fresh from her holiday in St Bart's, Naomi looked relaxed and happy.
Naomi got a chance to parade some chic swimwear during her vacation with longtime partner Liev Shreiber, 44, Sasha and her youngest son, four-year-old Sammy.
The fair-skinned star was spotted wearing a stunning green one-piece on one day and a sexy purple bikini on another.
The family spent the holidays soaking up the Caribbean sun, snorkeling, swimming and boating.

No fuss: Naomi was low key and dressed down in skinny jeans and jean jacket, while Sasha looked cute in green pocket trousers and grey jumper
