Girl Crush:Thandie Newton
I totally have a girl crush on Thandie Newton. Not only is she Harvard-educated (I think it was Harvard, but if it wasn’t, it was some similarly impressive Ivy League-type place), she has seriously beautiful skin, and she knows how to dress herself. She really knows how to dress herself. Here, a selection just from the last few months;
THIS is how you wear fishnets. Not with a sexy curve-hugging red thing, because then you’ll look like Jessica Rabbit (not that that’s a bad thing), or with black ditto, because then you’ll look like a dominatrix (also not necessarily a bad thing). But with something ladylike and contrasting, in a rich fabric, and body-conscious but not overtly sexy. . .perfection.
Has anyone else noticed how the horizontal-stripe trend looks fine on 108-lb models and not so much on, well, everyone else? This is the perfect solution. Angle those stripes ever-so-slightly. . .and you look curvy and thin and not at all like a lighthouse.
Starlets, take note. This is how you wear sequins. You can do head-to-toe bling if you want, as long as the shape is simple, short, classic. If there is a simple silhouette, simple hair, simple makeup, minimal accessories, you can go as crazy with the shiny as your little heart desires.
Okay, I do want to give the top of her dress a good yank here. But look at her skin! It’s so pretty! I want her skin, and not in a creepy Buffalo Bill way.
