Naomi Watts, Helen Hunt rock Palm Springs in formal fashion (Photos)

On Jan. 5, Naomi Watts and Helen Hunt hit the chic California desert. The two top actors were on hand for the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala while wearing high fashion fit for the occasion that launched this particular A-list event.

On the red carpet, Watts donned a sapphire blue Roland Mouret masterpiece that featured a demure v-neck and a lot of draping. The actress paired this gown with Louis Vuitton high heels and Cartier bling.

Meanwhile, fellow celebrity Helen Hunt had on a black Michael Kors number for the same gala. The frock featured a high necked halter that didn't divulge too much skin.

In fact, the dress was simple yet still elegant. Some added flash came by way of a sparkling Swarovski clutch purse and Rene Caovilla heels that were hard to see since Helen's gown was so long.

While wearing their sumptuous sartorial statements, thespians Naomi Watts and Helen Hunt were on the receiving end at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala. Watts won the Desert Palm Achievement Award for Acting while Hunt took the Spotlight Award.

While accepting, both women were wonders in their style choices as the two picked up their prizes in the California dessert that is a stunning place in which to get all gussied up no matter what the occasion.
