The Colors Celebs Over 40 Always Wear on the Red Carpet

Red carpets are typically filled with a sea of different hemlines, shapes, prints, and trends, but sometimes celebrities are amazingly in sync with their outfit choices. Take, for instance, the 2019 Oscars red carpet, which was replete with scores of hot pink dresses specifically. As it turns out, women over 40 led the color trend both before, during, and after that particular event, and everybody else can only hope to pull it off as well.

Jennifer Lopez, Tilda Swinton, Angela Bassett, and Tracee Ellis Ross are just a handful of celebrities who have co-signed on the hot pink trend, and it's making us want to buy everything in the color. Meanwhile, Michelle Yeoh, Carolyn Murphy, and Lucy Liu have all been spotted in one particularly pretty hue lately, and brands like Cult Gaia and Everlane are also fans. Scroll down to see three colors celebrities over 40 always wear on the red carpet and shop our picks in each shade.

We've been talking about neon colors for a while now, but hot pink, in particular, is the shade du jour—so don't be afraid to strike while the iron is hot and test it out for yourself.
