She unveiled her glamorous new blunt bob cut this weekend.

And on Sunday, Australian actress Naomi Watts put it on full display when she hit the red carpet for the premiere of her new film, Luce, at the the Tribeca Film Festival in her adopted hometown of New York City.

The 50-year old star owned her new hair transformation while donning a chic looking black floral dress.

Adding to its eye appeal, the number had sheer fabric in the arms and shoulder regions, giving a hint of her toned petite figure.

It also wrapped around the neck and was cinched at the waist to help showcase her womanly curves.

She matched it with a pair of white-pointed ankle boots and, at one point, threw a black tuxedo blazer over her shoulders for an extra dose of cool.

 The new blunt bob style went perfectly with the look and bold red lipstick.

After posing solo under the spotlight of the red carpet, the Mulholland Drive star was joined by Luce director Julius Onah and a number of her co-stars.

The cast includes Kelvin Harrison Jr., Octavia Spencer, Tim Roth, Brian Bradley, Andrea Bang, Norbert Leo Butz, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Noah Gaynor, Omar Brunson and Christopher Mann.  

The racial drama tells the story of a former child soldier from Eritrea, which is in East Africa, who's adopted by white parents and naturalized in America. 

Though he becomes a star student and athlete at his Virginia high school, his status gets threatened when a teacher becomes alarmed by his political views in a homework assignment.
