At the New York premiere of Allegiant on March 14, 2016, Naomi Watts wore a custom interpretation of a Derek Lam Fall 2016 runway look, pairing a heavily embellished silver top with a beaded black midi skirt.
She finished the ensemble with silver-and-black Giuseppe Zanotti ankle-wrap sandals that perfectly echoed the outfit’s metallic palette.

Instead of the collection’s original black sleeveless peplum top and silver skirt, Watts chose a shimmering, semi-sheer silver top with intricate beadwork, long sleeves, and a scalloped peplum hem, paired with a black beaded tea-length skirt for an elegant contrast.

She completed the look with Solange Azagury-Partridge chandelier earrings, a silver Lee Savage clutch, and Giuseppe Zanotti’s metallic ankle-wrap sandals, keeping the silver-and-black color palette cohesive from head to toe.

Watts wore her blonde hair in loose side-parted waves and finished the look with softly defined eyes and pink lipstick, letting the intricate beadwork remain the focal point.

The standout footwear was a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti patent-and-metallic ankle-wrap sandals in silver and black, a striking choice that mirrored the contrasting tones of her Derek Lam ensemble.

Crafted from metallic silver calfskin with black patent leather toe bands, the sandals feature buckled ankle-wrap straps, open toes, and slender 4.5-inch metal pin heels.
The mix of metallic leather and glossy patent finishes complemented the outfit’s shimmering embellishments without competing for attention.

This exact Giuseppe Zanotti design is no longer in production, making original pairs increasingly difficult to find.

Pre-owned pairs occasionally surface through luxury resale marketplaces. As of July 2026, Farfetch carries Giuseppe Zanotti’s latest collections, including the minimalist Intriigo sandals, crystal-embellished Lumière styles, elegant Lilibeth sandals, and sculptural Chérie heels, all reflecting the brand’s enduring eveningwear aesthetic.
