Naomi Watts looked more smitten than ever as she planted a kiss on her husband Billy Crudup's cheek at the star-studded Jay Kelly premiere during the Venice Film Festival on Thursday.

The British actress, 56, stunned in a nude mesh gown as she cosied up to the American actor, 57, who stars as Timothy in the upcoming comedy-drama, on the red carpet. 

Naomi's show-stopping dress featured a plunging sweetheart neckline and was adorned with sequinned floral embellishments.

Completed with a silk bow at the waist, the floaty mesh skirt gathered in a stunning train on the floor. 

She accessorised with diamond drop earrings and wore her blonde locks in soft waves as she posed up a storm for the cameras. 

And the couple couldn't keep their hands off each other, with Naomi showering her husband with kisses during their red carpet moment. 

Billy looked dapper in a cream tuxedo, paired with a crisp white shirt, black bow tie, and matching tailored trousers. 

He finished the look with black patent leather brogues as he lovingly escorted Naomi down the red carpet. 

Naomi and Billy began dating in 2017 after they met on set of the Netflix series Gypsy. After making their first red carpet debut in 2022 they went on to tie the knot in New York a year later. 

Jay Kelly, set for release on November 14, features an all-star cast including Adam Sandler, George Clooney, Emily Mortimer, Laura Dern, Billy, and Greta Gerwig. 

The film follows a famous movie star and his devoted manager, Ron, as they embark on an unexpectedly profound journey through Europe. 

Along the way, both men confront the choices they've made, relationships with loved ones, and the legacies they'll leave behind. 

Naomi and Billy's red carpet appearance comes after she and her former partner, Liev Schreiber, 57, had a surprising reunion last week as they sent their son Sasha off to college. 

The 56-year-old actress took to Instagram to share photos of her ex and their 18-year-old son as they got him settled for the start of his freshman year at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

The proud parents cheerfully shared a meal as Naomi posted to her Instagram Stories, writing over one snapshot: 'Here we go....' 

The surprisingly friendly reunion between the actor exes comes nearly nine years after they broke up in September 2016, after being together for 11 years.

In addition to their son, they also share their 16-year-old daughter, Kai Schreiber.

Both Naomi and Liev, who never tied the knot, went on to marry other people after their split. 

The Mulholland Driver star went on to marry fellow actor Billy in June 2023, while the Ray Donovan sensation married Taylor Neisen in July of the same year.

Liev and Taylor welcomed their daughter Hazel Bee, now two, in August 2023.

Ye the family are still close and one of Naomi's recent social media snaps showed the trio after a shopping excursion during which they purchased pillows and kitchen utensils for their college freshman.

Another snap showed the father-and-son duo walking side-by-side and holding hands in Downtown Los Angeles.

The mum-of-two wrote, 'Day #2,' alongside the snap.
