Yellow Dresses
Bright yellow dresses are an emerging trend that have been spreading sunshine all over the Spring/Summer 2012 runways. From New York to Milan Fashion Week, varying shades of yellow have been a favourite with designers.
Yellow is no longer just a daytime-summer-sundress type of colour. It has streamed over into formal wear, with elegant floor-length gowns in silky, flowing fabrics and sparkly embellishments. Yellow is a colour that suits most skin tones and hair colours, the trick is to find the right shade for you. Brighter yellows looked striking against darker skin tones and on brunettes. Soft, buttery shades flatter paler skins and blondes. If you're not keen on a fluorescent tint, try out a subtle lemonade shade.
Celebrities that Started the Yellow Trend
Yellow made a vibrant splash on the red carpet this past week. It's rare that we get to see starlets wear yellow evening gowns, but this year, it seems to be the Awards Season colour. You may recall seeing some of these looks.
Julia Kurbatova in a lemon one shouldered gown with hip flounce at the Golden Globes.
Charlize Theron looked graceful in a floral embroidered Stella McCartney ensemble.
Maria Menounos shimmers in a mustard yellow sequined Blumarine column gown.
Elizabeth Olsen wore an intricately beaded Emilio Pucci mini at the People's Choice Awards.
Mireille Enos in a vivid yellow beaded gown by Naeem Khan at the Golden Globe Awards.
Minka Kelly looked beautiful in a neon yellow Oscar de la Renta dress.
Yvonne Strahovski chose a simple silk chiffon daffodil gown by Jenni Kayne.
Camilla Belle stunned in a layered silk organza primrose yellow gown by Carolina Herrera.
Paula Patton at the Golden Globes in a sunflower strapless Monique Lhuillier gown.

Reminds me I don't have any yellow in my closet. Must get some soon
just got myself a yellow full pleated midi skirt and I am feeling inspired after seeing this. Loving all of these especially Camilla Belle dress
Lovely dress selections!!! It's about time the color yellow gets its time to shine!
Beautiful shades of yellow! Reminds of the sunflowers:)
I have a hard time finding the right shade of yellow for my skin tone,
usually it has to be very light. The Carolina Herrera strapless gown is the perfect color!

Absolutely LOVE this color!
I didn't like yellow for me in the past, but since 2010 I started to like it so much, that I even bought a mustard jacket (well, it was bright yellow, not the light shade). And people started saying "mustard/yellow" is your color - surprise surprise, I still don't think it is, but I liked it on me!
Now these dresses are really adorable, and I am in love with the Asos one!!! For sure I'll buy something yellow soon! (28 days to fly... :)
Thnx for your sweet comment !!

I love yellow!!! My aunt is going to make me a yellow sweater! i'll show it to you!!!

I love yellow!Gorgeous dresses!
I LOVE yellow, but it isn't a color I can really wear. Pale skin + yellow = sickly and washed out :) At least I can stick to yellow accessories!
Such a gorgeous color for dresses! I love the ASOS one at the end which they paired with a turquoise belt, so cute! Thanks for sharing!
Blog hopped from Style Diaries <3 Great site you have here. I'm not good with bright colors but I am planning to try them for a change. :)
Care to visit mine back?
xox, Angel
I'm seriously in love with the dress Elizabeth Olsen is wearing. Wow.
