Thandie Newton is elegant in black and gold ensemble

It seems that the one-shoulder style is a noticeable LBD trend in the red carpet world at the moment. It's not surprising either: a style that allows a subtle display of skin whilst keeping you at your most sophisticated. Team LBD approve! Thandie Newton is the next gorgeous celebrity to showcase this look perfectly as she graced the 2012 Laureus World Sports Awards in London in an elegant Osman Resort asymmetric black floor-sweeping evening dress.

The maxi dress was flatteringly nipped in at the waist with a gold plate belt and featured a sultry side split which allowed the actress to show off her fabulous pins. Ms. Newton further emphasised the asymmetric effect of the ensemble with sleek hair worn to one side which also showed off cute gold tassle-drop earrings. The outfit was completed with a matching gold-plated black suede clutch bag and sky-scraping black Charlotte Olympia round-toed platform wedges with gold detailing. Thandie certainly has the black and gold combo down. Take note of this glamorous colour blend to have you channelling the actress's little black dress style in no time!
