Thandie Newton looked poised and beautiful as she posed at the press after party for her play "Death and the Maiden" in London on October 24, in an outfit that was definitely a risk. Thandie decided to mix prints and textures with her Giles Spring 2012 dress, which featured a metallic skirt, red paneling along the waist, a sweetheart silk top and leopard print underlay. Wow! What are your thoughts on a dress with this much going on? If you like the mix-and-match look, try Ani Apparel's Studded Waistband Dress in White/Black, which emulates the separates look of Thandie's Giles dress, or Twinkle by Wenlan's Wrapped and Ready Dress in Cream/Black, which mimics the underlay effect. If you like the idea of adding a panel of contrasting color to a dress, there's no better way to do so than with a belt. Jacqueline Rose's Two Tone Belt in Black is the perfect option. From there, TN wore a turquoise pair of Nicholas Kirkwood heels, and layered a few pieces from Solange Azagury-Partridge's jewelry collection. Get the look with Anna Beck's Timor Skinny Bangles in Silver. Thoughts, everyone? Do you think that Thandie carries this risky look? The British actress recently spoke out to BBC News about her first stage role, in Ariel Dorfman's claustrophobic moral thriller, and said: "I was potentially biting off more than I could chew. In some ways this was above my expectations of where I could start in theatre, but it came along and I wasn't going to say no. I had a great feeling of responsibility that I was giving voice to the voiceless. The play is not necessarily set in Chile, it could be in any country after a dictatorship. It now has a much broader perspective. I've been focusing a lot of my work privately in Congo, where sexual violence against women is epidemic. Rape and torture is a weapon of war and one of the things that is so chronic and difficult for these people is that they are not given a voice, that justice is never done." It's quite interesting to hear Thandie's take on this tough role!

Very smart woman and her intelligence has taken her around the world. Not my favorite dress on her but she would look good in a paper bag as they say.guest on Oct 30 2011 @ 08:55 PM
The dress is great, but the turquoise shoes ruin it for me.guest on Oct 31 2011 @ 05:49 AM
