The sophisticated pumps, which Watts wore in black, are finished with elasticized leather heel straps and a sleek stiletto measuring just under 3 inches. Retailing at $1,200, Prada's brushed leather slingback pumps are available to shop in black, as well as chalky white and baby pink.
The 'Mulholland Drive' star — who stepped out to promote her new book 'Dare I Say It' on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' — also wore a navy double-breasted cashgora coat. The mid-length coat, also by Prada, featured goldtone buttons, a straight-point collar, front flap pockets, and a straight hem.
Watts accessorized with a glossy handbag, Prada's $4,100 Galleria patent leather mini bag, and glamorous black sunglasses. She also wore chunky gold hoop earrings and gold bangle.
Watts has busy been promoting her ' informative guide to menopause and aging' this week. On the same day, she also appeared on 'Live with Kelly and Mark' to talk about the personal book. The 'King Kong' actress sported another pair of slingback pumps courtesy of Loewe on Tuesday. Some of Watts' other go-to designers when it comes to shoes include Fendi, Celine, Jimmy Choo, Dior, and Khaite.
Slingbacks have been taking over of late but are nothing new. Slingbacks have long been a wardrobe staple among celebrities, with the silhouette coming in a range of heights and styles. Just about every footwear brand, from Gianvito Rossi to Jimmy Choo, offers multiple slingback designs. Selena Gomez, Simone Biles, and Laura Dern are just a few to have shown off the timeless silhouette recently, though. Ahead, check out all the celebrities bringing slingback heels into 2025.

Tom Holland Might Take Another Acting Break
Tom Holland is undoubtedly a megastar, but sometimes the stars need a mega-break. 29-year-old Tom spoke with British GQ about becoming the new face of Paradigme, a new fragrance from Prada, and revealed why he needs to "take a bit more time off." Tom told the publication he feels "really blessed to be at a point in my career where I can take time off, reset, and come back ready to go." Tom's desire to take time off is well-earned, given that his current schedule is booked and busy. He will play Telemachus in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, due in theaters on July 17, 2026. He will star alongside Academy Award winners Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, and Lupita Nyong'o, as well as his fiancé Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, and others. Tom also has the film American Speed in the works with Austin Butler, a true story of three renowned racecar driver brothers (Don, Bill, and Dale Whittington) and how two of them were involved in the 1980s International Motor Sports Association scandal. In the interview with British GQ, Tom said, "You can't be in every movie, and you can't do your best work when you're burnt out. What I've learnt is that it's important to set boundaries — to be mindful about overworking." "I've got a slightly busy next year, and then I'll probably take a bit more time off in 2027. We'll see," he told GQ. This isn't the first time Tom's been forthcoming about his boundaries as a leading actor. In recent years, he spoke about taking a break from acting and social media and quitting drinking. "I'm never gonna drink again because this is the best version of myself." In 2023, Tom also shared that he was taking a year off after having difficulty filming the Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room. Given Tom's demanding schedule for the following years, another potential break is a practical next step. In addition to his acting career, in January, Tom became engaged to his longtime MCU costar and partner, Zendaya. Three movies and a wedding sound like a lot. Cheers to breaks! We adore a well-rested Tom. Read the full interview here.

Tom Holland gets a confidence boost when he's wearing Prada
Tom Holland gets a confidence boost whenever he steps out wearing clothes by Prada. The Spider-Man: Homecoming star is the new face of the band's Paradigme fragrance and he's revealed he's been working with the design house for many years and always relies on their outfits to make him feel good if he has to walk a red carpet. He told WWD: "I've worked with Prada for years now and continue to opt for their clothes on carpets - an environment that usually makes me uncomfortable, and Prada [has] never failed to fill me with confidence when I'm stepping out. "I instantly felt the same the first time I discovered Prada Paradigme ... "I like things understated. But I do think a good scent can make a difference. It's like ... an invisible accessory" Tom also revealed he doesn't usually wear fragrance but he's realised it can also help give him a mood boost, telling GQ magazine: "When I first sprayed it [Paradigme], it was very woody, very earthy, and very wonderful, actually. "What I love about fragrances is how it can connect you to specific memories. Sometimes when I'm having a bad day, I pull my favourite one out of my drawer and it helps me remember the good times ... " Tom added: "I like one spritz on either side of my neck, and then two on my left wrist – I kind of rub my wrists together. And once I've got my clothes on, I might do a final spritz over the top, but nothing too extensive." Fellow actor Robert Pattinson is also the face of a fragrance after starring in a campaign for Dior Homme, and he previously told GQ he has a "ritual" as he likes to "spray it in the air and walk through it". Tom said of his pal's perfume ritual: "Of course he does. I love Rob to death, he's a good friend of mine – we just made another movie together. "I can absolutely picture him, coiffing his perfect hair, walking through a mist that he's created for himself. He's very dramatic and very artsy, and it seems exactly like the kind of thing that he'd do."

Inside Olivia Rodrigo's Birth Chart: What Her Pisces Sun And Libra Moon Mean
Every good thing has turned into something I dreadAnd I'm playin' the victim so well in my headBut it's me who's been making the bed —Olivia Rodrigo, 'Making the Bed' Tell us you're a Pisces without telling us you're a Pisces, Olivia. Born under the sign of the tormented artist on February 20, 2003, the 22-year-old punk-pop star fits neatly into her zodiac SKU. The breathy, doe-eyed sweetness that curdles into a full-throated scream-cry heard 'round the world. The self-reflective epiphanies matched by self-effacing angst. It's all iconic Pisces. To understand Rodrigo's astrological essence, it might help to know that Pisces is represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions. One rises toward the heavens, angelic and spiritual. The other descends into the underworld, stormy and destructive. As a sensitive water sign, which is also one of the four mutable signs, Pisces have serious emotional range. They are the most fluid of the water signs, shape-shifters who don't just meet the moment—they morph into the energy of whatever is in front of them. They're the ultimate empaths who can be tough as nails, too. Sure, they may be serving vintage-adorable looks, but their vibe is hardly naive. Just look at fellow Pisces Chappell Roan and Rihanna who celebrate their birthdays the same week as Olivia Rodrigo. At times, a Pisces's duality can be as extreme as a Gemini's, if not more so, which explains Rodrigo's compatibility with her actor boyfriend, Louis Partridge. His sun sign is Gemini, which is also a mutable sign (but the air element). There's never a dull (or quiet!) moment when these adaptable, expressive signs get together. If the Prada ambassador's high praise of his girlfriend's recent Glastonbury performance is any indication, the two will not be tiring of each other any time soon. But Rodrigo's cosmic DNA goes far deeper than her sun sign. Beneath the dreamy Pisces exterior, her moon sign is in Libra, the sign of beauty, peace, and balance. Libra is another dual sign, symbolized by the scales that can tip to one side or the other. In astrology, the moon sign represents your emotional nature. Libra definitely gives Pisces a run for its romantic money, and with these sun-moon placements, it's no wonder Rodrigo told People in 2021, 'I literally wrote breakup songs before I held a boy's hand.' The Libra moon may also be what gives Rodrigo her keen sense of justice. Throughout her career, she has been a vocal advocate, speaking out about everything from war to reproductive rights. This July, she posted about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. On an emotional Instagram Story, she shared, 'There is no child in Israel, Palestine, or anywhere in the world who deserves to suffer through what we're seeing these children have to endure. It is horrific and completely unacceptable. To give up on them is to give up on our shared humanity.' When it comes to relationships, a Libra moon demands fairness. Luckily, Louis Partridge's emotionally astute Cancer moon makes him quite savvy. And how cute is this? Her sun sign is water, and her moon sign is air; his sun sign is air, and his moon sign is water. It just works. With her boundlessly creative chart, it's no wonder Rodrigo learned to play both piano and guitar before she had her driver's license—at ages 9 and 12, respectively. Although when she was young, she was prepping for acting gigs like High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, she's since taken a hard left turn away from her Disney+ role. While she's only 22, she has accomplished so much—including winning a Grammy for Best New Artist in 2022. We expect to see Rodrigo shed more of her ingénue skin in the months ahead. Saturn, the planet of adulting, is finishing up a three-year journey through Pisces that began on March 7, 2023. Could that shift mean the 'Vampire' singer will be ready to sink her teeth into more acting soon? As she told ELLE back in 2021, one of her dreams is to take on a role in an action film. (With her Mars in thrill-seeking Sagittarius, she's definitely got the cosmic chops.) Simultaneously, she said she still counts her American Girl dolls as her most prized possessions, holding onto the collection for the children she hopes to have one day. It's all part of the paradox that makes her so fascinating. Rodrigo's next era is less about making the bed and more about getting into the driver's seat. We can't wait to see what the next leg of her journey will be. If we're lucky, she'll bring us all along for the ride. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
