Thandie Newton's Deceiving Dress

Yesterday actress Thandie Newton attended the 10th Anniversary Lavender Trust party in Claridges, London. As you can see in the first picture the top half of her dress looks very stylish, and sexy, but then you get a view of the full dress. What is going on below the waist? This is one of the most deceiving dresses I have seen in awhile. The multi-colored fabric paired with the black sequence above just looks odd. Not feelin' it at all, but still love ya Thandie.
