Los Angeles, Jan 21 (IANS): Actress Naomi Watts will be honoured with the Lacoste Spotlight Award at this year's Costume Designers Guild Awards.

The announcement was made Tuesday, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

According to a release, the award "honours an actor whose talent and career personify an enduring commitment to excellence, including a special awareness of the role and importance of costume design."

From her recent role as a pregnant Russian stripper in “St. Vincent” to playing a Broadway actress in the Oscar-nominated film “Birdman”, Watts has proved her calibre- both for her acting skills as well as her style sense.

The Guild, which announced its nominations earlier this month, will also present honorary awards to “Boyhood” writer-director Richard Linklater, costume designer Aggie Guerard Rodgers and designer and scholar Deborah Nadoolman Landis during the ceremony.

The actress will receive the award Feb 17 at a ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.
