brilliantly simple

Hi everybody!

In Russia, we have an idiom that literary goes It is simple as the work of a genius. I'm sure it doesn't make sense in English. It implies that good ideas are simple and self-evident. I failed to find translation in dictionaries, but I believe "brilliantly simple" has a very close meaning.

Thanks in advance

Is there anyone in the world more stunning than Audrey Hepburn in that simple black dress?

I think simplicity as the ultimate sophistication crosses many cultural lines!
