Understated Elegance: Thandie Newton

(Instyle magazine U.K.)

Thandie Newton is one of those celebrities who well knows what works best for her, which gives way to her simple elegance. Even as she strides down the red carpet, she is at the opposite end of the specturm when it comes to overly done makeup and accessories. There are times when she dons a "glitzy" pair of earrings or ring, but most often she is sparse with her accoutrements. Given her tiny frame, what she chooses works well, as extremely large jewelry and such would seem to overwhelm. Her easy, unfettered style is right on point.
