Back in 2013, Thandiwe Newton delivered a masterclass in timeless red-carpet glamour at the Los Angeles premiere of Rogue.
Long before “quiet luxury” became the fashion buzzword, she embodied its essence in a vintage black fit-and-flare dress from Gathering Goddess—elegant, unfussy, and perfectly tailored to her figure.

To elevate the look, she slipped into Jimmy Choo’s glitter-and-lace “Fitch” sandals, a design that defined early-2010s eveningwear with its delicate ankle straps and metallic sheen.
