No Doubt About It—This Trending Summer Colour Is Ageless and Ultra-Sophisticated

As a fashion editor with a penchant for celebrity style, there are few things that pique my attention quite like learning of a new trend rippling through celebrity style circles. Like fashion people around the world, celebs have been coming back to the butter-yellow colour trend on repeat over the past few months. A resounding favourite amongst all age groups, I've seen the trend styled in the form of pretty party dresses by Sabrina Elba and elegant two-pieces by Naomi Watts, amongst so many other sophisticated looks.

Inspired by the summery shade that keeps coming up on my FYP, I've chronicled a few of my favourite buttery looks. Read on to discover how celebrities are styling the butter-yellow colour trend this summer.
