The London-born beauty flaunted her enviably toned legs in the midi-length skirt which featured blue and pink hued prints.

Sticking to a pastel theme, she added a pastel pink sweater under her statement fur coat, which she matched with her leopard print courts.

Wearing her hair in a sophisticated half-up 'do, the Pursuit Of Happyness star wore minimal make-up to let her natural beauty shine.

Sticking to an irreverent more is more look, Thandie slung a navy canvas backpack over her shoulder which featured embellished floral appliques.

Get spot on withThandie's style in her leopard print coat

Every girl worth her style salt knows that a statement coat is an easy way to rejuvenate your wardrobe. And with winter on the horizon, today seems like the perfect day to start updating.

While the idea of leopard print sounds challenging at first, the animal pattern has practically become a neutral color thanks in part to its earth toned hues.

For a little inspiration look no further than the ever-so-effortless Thandie Newton who wore her cozy number by Topshop with matching heels, a mixed print dress and a Burberry backpack (buy below).

Sadly, Thandie's jacket is from last season but fear not, because our edit below is full of great alternatives with prices to suit every budget!

Meanwhile Thandie currently stars in the HBO series Westworld as Maeve Milly, a prostitute in a wild west theme park.

Speaking about her naked scenes in the show, she told The Guardian: 'It’s so ironic that here I was, utterly, utterly naked – and I felt completely liberated. 

'Not because I was naked but because it was my choice. Totally my choice.'

And the actress has been keeping busy as she attended the premiere of the documentary City of Joy in New York on Friday. 

Showing her support for the movie - which is about women living in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo - Thandie looked gorgeous in a long silk dress with red bold pattern.

The documentary follows a group of women living at City of Joy, a center that helps abused women move forward with their life amidst a war driven by greed, economics and colonialism.
