“Sage, champagne, and soft bronze give Thandiwe an incredibly sophisticated look” — Stina Lönnkvist, Colour analyst
Why Thandiwe Newton is a Soft Autumn
Soft Autumn is muted, warm, and low in contrast. Thandiwe Newton suits shades including sage, champagne, soft bronze, cocoa, and dusty pink. Warm mid-tones and matte or softly lustrous materials create an elegant whole. Clear colours and stark black-and-white can feel too sharp. Choose espresso or muted olive instead when you want to wear a dark base.

Why it works
- Soft contrast
- Tonal
Less flattering
The black-and-white animal-print top creates sharp edges and high contrast. A smaller print in espresso and cream would feel softer.
Why it doesn’t
