There’s nothing new-fangled about declaring Thandie Newton ridiculously gorgeous. It’s that flawless skin, her teeny-tiny body, enviably glossy hair and those perfect frickin’ dimples. (Disclaimer: I have the most absurd dimple envy…it really is pathetic, y’all!) What has caught my eye as of late is Ms. Newton’s crazy style! It’s laid back and effortless, but totally HighEnd. Age-appropriate, but fabolous and fresh! She rocks funky designers like Matthew Williamson and Pucci, but in a way that is totally classic and ladylike. Like her Rhodesian and British heritage, Thandie is the perfect mix.

I first fell for this LondonLady when she appeared on the SummerBlockbuster Scene with (a formerly normal) Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. And she has been doin’ it to it, on and off the big-screen ever since. But my moment of chic consciousness came when I saw Thandie’s cover for InStyle UK. I just knew she was Monday’s Muse material.

These white-haute looks have me feigning for a snow day. And Thandie’s dark lips and tips is the perfect contrast.

More of my Thandie faves!

All right, HighEnders, hopefully Ms. Newton has shown you that effortless, yet impeccable style is anything but a Mission Impossible ;)
