'I am completely overdressed!' Thandie Newton missed the memo as she cuts an elegant figure in ball gown at Mad Max premiere
For the premiere of the post-apocalyptic thriller Mad Max: Fury Road, it was an occasion for its stars and guests to take risks with edgy fashion choices.
But Thandie Newton missed that memo and made an elegant appearance in an ethereal, voluminous gown in Hollywood on Thursday.
'I am completely overdressed. And I LOVE IT!! #MadMaxFuryRoad' she tweeted from the event.
'Overdressed' Thandie Newton told her Twitter fans that she dressed far to formally for the Mad Max: Fury Road premiere in Hollywood on Thursday
The 42-year-old's spectacular outfit included a metallic bandeau bodice and a voluminous white tulle skirt that featured hints of pink and other colors.
The British actress' brunette tresses were styled with a part and cascaded down her back.
She teamed the look with a white clutch and simple jewelry.
The Mission Impossible: II star later gushed on Twitter after catching the film, which will hit theaters on May 15, calling it 'phenomenal.'

She tweeted: 'Mad Max is PHENOMENAL. Defying every bulls**t stereotype - it even passes the Bechdel Test. Rock On George Miller!'
The Beloved actress' reference to the 'Bechdel Test' - which calls attention to gender inequality in films - was first introduced in 1985 in Alison Bechdel's syndicated comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For.
To pass the test a film must meet three points: '(1) The movie has to have at least two women in it, (2) who talk to each other (3) about something besides a man.'
Mad Max: Fury Road stars Charlize Theron as Furiosa, a tough road warrior, who enlists the help of Max, played by Tom Hardy, to help female captives cross a desert, played by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee, and Courtney Eaton.
