Red hot in pink

Red hot in pink: The colour that is impossible to avoid this summer

Thanks to the Pantone colour of the year, Viva Magenta, and the highly anticipated Barbie film, released in the UK on July 21, pink is a colour that’s hard to avoid this summer — but it’s far easier to wear than you might think.

British retailer Very has the perfect dress for a summer wedding, and Penelope Chilvers’s satin wedge espadrilles will be your go-to shoe for any occasion.

Not quite brave enough to go head-to-toe pink?

Try just a splash with Aspinal’s woven bag or, for a more pared-down take on the trend, Laurence Coste’s earrings will add a bit of pep to any look.

Kate Hudson wore a shocking pink Tamara Ralph Couture gown to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party whilst pink featured heavily at Versace’s Fall Winter 2023 show
