This one seems kimono-inspired, and she’s obviously rather stunning in it, but that’s largely because she’s Thandie Newton. Overall, the garment ITSELF looks more like a very pretty thing she would wear in the privacy of her giant dressing room while she powders herself and sings to the nearest friendly orphan all about how they’re going to the movies — right before she walked behind a screen and waltzed out two seconds later fully clad in an actual real frock, leaving a cloud of Chanel No. 5 in her wake.
