Every girl wanted to be a princess. The highly anticipated 2017 live action remake of the Disney classic Beauty and the Beast modernised that dream for many. The iconic yellow evening dress was recreated for actress Emma Watson by Oscar winning costumer designer Jacqueline Durran, making a light, pretty ball gown.
Taking inspiration from the highest grossing film of 2017, here’s some ways to style the infamous yellow hue!
How to Style Yellow
The Casual Look
Even princesses have errands! Stand out during bleak winter weather, in this bold yellow raincoat. A statement by itself, you can afford to go casual with a comfortable pair of jeans and plain tee. Compliment the look with some tan leather ankle books- weatherproof and faultless. The buckle detail gives an extra dimension, so they look anything but boring. One way how to style yellow is to make it the ultimate statement!
The Boho Queen
Just in time for SS18, try a yellow bohohemian maxi dress, in a vibrant floral print. Team it up with some earthy statement earrings for a natural colour palate! We would suggest a cute wine red suede bootie to contrast with the yellow, giving your outfit a glamorous alternative vibe. Our Jodie boots are available in our Shop the Look Collection and are an investment piece for your winter wardrobe. Try layering with a leather jacket for a cool girl vibe on cold days!
