Naomi Watts revives old Hollywood glamour in an emerald green dress at the 2024 Emmys

Tonight, Watts is among the nominees for Best Actress in a Miniseries or Anthology or Movie for her portrayal of Babe Paley in FX’s Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.

In addition to starring as the lead actress, Watts also served as an executive producer on the series. In a recent interview with, she talked about taking more creative risks in her career Harper’s Bazaar.

“I think as you get older and have a lot of experience now, I can imagine doing something like this more easily,” Watts said. “But back then, it just felt too risky. I've had big successes, big failures, some mediocrity. Now I've had every kind of experience, so I'm much more open to new things. Risk is fantastic. Failure is inevitable. Success is rare. I know how to ride the waves better – I don't always feel good about it, but I know they come and go.”

She added: “I feel like we are who we are and my story is woven into almost every story I tell. I would say the stories I've struggled with are usually processed through my work in one way or another.”

As deputy editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey stays on top of celebrity news. She also writes about social movements and connects with activists fighting for workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she's probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying another corset.
