Naomi Watts looked every inch the Hollywood Goddess as she arrived at the premiere of DIANA in Leicester Square, London on Thursday night.
The actress looked elegant in white as she walked along the red carpet,signing autographs and posed for pictures with fans before she headed into the cinema.

The highly-anticipated motion picture DIANA will release in theaters on November 1st, examining the untold story of the secret love affair between the Princess of Wales and Dr. Hasnat Khan. Starring two-time Oscar nominee Naomi Watts and award-winning actor Naveen Andrews, DIANA uncovers the final two years in the life of one of the world’s most famous and most loved women.
"Usually when you take on a character you work from the inside and then get to the outside and focus on the appearance and the walk and the voice and things like that, but in this case I did it in the reverse direction. Starting with the look and the voice, obviously being the most important one and then getting into the interior life after," Watts said.
Biopic: Naomi stars as Diana who fell in love with Indian heart surgeon Hasnat Khan before her tragic death
Hirschbiegel directs from a screenplay written by award-winning playwright Stephen Jeffreys, inspired by the book Diana: Her Last Love by Kate Snell, which was in turn drawn from extensive interviews with close friends and confidantes.
The result is a window into the tumultuous, change-filled period from 1995-1997, in the wake of Diana’s shattering divorce from Prince Charles, and at the moment when she stood on the cusp of a different life, evolving into a global humanitarian, a master of maneuvering fame and becoming her own woman.
Given the controversial story line of the film this may not come as a surprise as it suggests Princess Diana's romance with Dodi Fayed, who she died with in a car crash in Paris in 1997, was a rebound relationship from her one with Hasnat.

And Hasnat has also dismissed the film, recently saying: "It's based on gossip and Diana's friends talking about a relationship that they didn't know much about.
"This includes some of my relatives who didn't know much about it either. It is all based on hypotheses and gossip."
For Andrews things were different. The man he plays is alive, but he was unable to contact him for research as he didn't want to be involved with the movie.
"He was very passionate about his privacy being compromised or violated in any way, and so, even though we may have wanted to make contact with him, we couldn't. We knew that he knew the film was being made and it's my hope that if he does see the film that he'd be able to see that we rendered him with great respect," he said.
However, director Oliver Hirschbiegel told Sky News: "The film is actually based on the accounts of several people and the inquest in which there were hundreds of pages discussing their relationship. It is not a documentary, but a dramatic interpretation."
As the audience, take a look at the movie and decide for yourself.
