As Newton clearly demonstrates, the graphic print and oversized bow only need a bold lip color – and nothing else.

Newton lets the dress stand out by choosing an accessory in one of her favorite tones: gold. The color blends in with her skin and doesn’t compete with this multi-colored cocktail number.

True to form, Newton keeps things simple with minimal jewelry and a simple clutch to balance the jeweled details on the dress.
