Celebrity Watch- Style inspiration from Thandie Newton on how to make a one-shouldered dress look modern and sleek

I’ll Have What She’s Having: Clean, timeless figure-flattering lines

One-shoulder dresses are not so easy to wear and after having a huge fashion “moment” a few seasons back, can look dated if not styled correctly. But when worn, right, a one-shoulder dress is a total WOW.

Thandie Newton made a chic red carpet statement in an elegant, minimal one-shouldered column dress from Osman that made for a perfect starting point for her classically chic hair and accessories.

Try this T by Alexander Wang One Shoulder Dress for your off the red carpet moments. At Shopbop.

For starters, her maxi dress’ print and detail free composition works as an uber-chic foundation while highlighting her svelte figure as her sleek gold belt balances out her gold earrings and gold detail on her Roger Vivier clutch.

STYLIST TIP: Don’t forget to wear a strapless bra! It’s so easy to want to go braless, but wear what it takes to keep your girls high and even for a more youthful appearance.

Take a cue from Newton when going maxi and look for a piece that has enough fluidity to enhance your shape that you can also easily belt to define your waist.
