Illuminating yellow is Pantone’s 2021 Color of the Year, so it’s no major surprise that we’ve seen so many celebrities embracing the bold hue. The first that comes to mind is Zendaya at the Academy Awards this past April. The Malcolm and Marie actress stunned in a strapless custom Valentino cutout gown worthy of an award. Also deserving of honorable mentions are Gal Gadot and Priyanka Chopra. Both stars have taken to social media sporting the mood-boosting color recently. The Wonder Woman star debuted a Monse slip from the label’s SS21 collection, and the Unfinished author posted a photo to her feed wearing a feather embellished maxi dress from Emilio Pucci.
This considered, yellow is quite obviously at the top of everyone’s mind, a nice change from donning neutral-toned sweatsuits and athleisure for most of the COVID-19 quarantine. Perhaps it’s a bit extreme, but this fashion and beauty editor is welcoming the color into both her closet and her vanity. I’m no psychiatrist, but I associate yellow with feelings of happiness, optimism, and warmth. Pantone confirmed the latter to be one of the reasons why they chose the color to represent 2021, as it’s meant to convey a “message of strength and hopefulness.” Below, peruse my curated luxury edit of yellow beauty and fashion items that I already own or am dangerously close to adding to my virtual shopping cart.
