Fresh from the set of her new film, The Pursuit of Happyness, Thandie Newton shows us how to take the party circuit by storm with three new looks: navy liner, shimmery bronze shadow and a sultry plum eye.

"This really brightens up the face. The bronze picks up the color of my eyes, and the black liner picks up the pupils.” —Thandie Newton

"I’d wear this to a big event—it’s a pretty plum sheen that’s still sultry. They’re real fall-in-love eyes.”
—Thandie Newton

[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]For actress Thandie Newton, planning ahead helps make her holidays jolly.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]By Frappa Stout[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Thandie Newton is one of those holiday shoppers who makes the rest of us look bad: Instead of barreling through stores over the next few weeks, she'll be at home in London, relaxing with family.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Her secret is not a do-it-all personal assistant. Newton starts her Christmas shopping two days after the holiday. "I'm not kidding -- if I see something fabulous or read about a book that's amazing, I'll get it and put it aside in a box in my closet and keep it until the next year," says the actress, 34, who is married and has two daughters, Ripley, 6, and Nico, almost 2. "If I find something for a 4-year-old, I will save it for two years for my baby."[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Newton is a fitting cover girl for our annual Gift Guide, not only because she's a conscientious shopper, but also because Newton, last seen in 2005's Best Picture, Crash, stars in what promises to be a holiday tear-jerker.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Opening Dec. 15, "The Pursuit of Happyness" is the true story of a down-on-his-luck San Francisco man struggling to raise his son. Even with Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky Will Smith in the lead role, it's very dark, says Newton, who plays Smith's ex. "My character leaves her child and [the father] with no money, and they end up homeless," she says. "It starts so far down that where it takes you is such a thrill, to see someone overcome the terrible situations life can deal."[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The daughter of a Zimbabwean mother and British father, the actress (whose name is pronouncedTAN-dee) grew up in Zambia until she was 3 and the family moved to Cornwall in southwest England. When a teenage injury ended her dreams of being a modern dancer, Newton turned toacting. She rose quickly, landing major roles in "Beloved" and "M:I-2."[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Newton, who holds a bachelor's degree in anthropology from the University of Cambridge, enjoys "more penetrating" activities, such as yoga, meditation and reading. The best gift she has ever received, she says, is a book, The Drama of the Gifted Child, by Swiss psychologist Alice Miller. "I was becoming a parent, and it's just invaluable for anybody who's at that point and also trying to understand the way they were parented and the profound effects that has on us," she says.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]For Christmas, the avid environmentalist says she wants everyone to plant a tree through organizations like the International Tree Foundation (internationaltreefoundation.org) to "put more oxygen back into the atmosphere." Of course, if her hubby, British filmmaker Oliver Parker, insists on exchanging gifts, she wouldn't mind a pair of proper wine glasses ("maybe from Tiffany") or a pair of burnished gold peace-sign earrings from her favorite jeweler, Solange Azagury-Partridge. She'd also love a pair of shoes by Georgina Goodman. The British designer's ballet flats have become one of the actress' signature gifts.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Newton still has to crochet beanie hats as gifts for each of her daughters this year. Then, she and her husband will decorate their tree with antique baubles and bells. For the holiday dinner, they will eat their favorite dishes. Last year, daughter Ripley had a prawns-and-tomato sauce concoction called "spaghetti in a bag"; her husband opted for caviar on a baked potato; and Newton feasted on shaved white truffle over pasta. "It was exquisite," she says.[/FONT]

her face looks different

 

[scriptgirl]

Honestly and I am not saying this to be rude, but she looks white on that cover, like they got way too happy with the airbrushing.

hi, i'm new in this thread...
Thandie is verry unique! Her skin is flawless! I think she looked better without the curls!
I also noticed that she wears her blue All stars often! Duh, they're so comfy! It's nice that we have the same colour of shoes
I was a 'little' in shock when I say her with brad pitt!!! two hotties together!

Love the latest outfit! The red in the skirt is such a nice contrast against the darkness of the rest of it.

Cool article from USA weekend, I wish I could be that organised about Xmas shopping! Love that her and her family don't eat the traditional dinner, too.
