Jason Wu Spring 2011

Pantone has named Honeysuckle the color of the year for 2011.  It is that perfect vibrant pink with a ton of personality.  Designer Jason Wu has translated it perfectly for red carpet in this floor length gown from his Spring 2011 ready-to-wear collection.  The dress is sheer and heavenly with high drama bursting from the train.  This is pure honeysuckle goodness in ethereal chiffon.  It is an entrance-making gown that is ready for its red carpet moment, thankfully awards season is just around the corner.

Zoe Saldana

Turquoise has been named the hottest color of 2010, and actress Zoe Saldana is already in on the trend.  Zoe’s belted mini dress with matching clutch and shoes is incredibly chic, and it’s a great way to wear turquoise in winter.  Pantone declared the color of the year, and many will be on board.  Expect department stores and specialty boutiques to present you with racks of options this spring and summer.  The color combination of turquoise, navy and white is elegant during that time of year as well.  Keep an eye on the runways this year because turquoise is likely to make an appearance during each city’s fashion week.  Have fun with this trend in your accessories too, a beautiful necklace or platform pumps are two ways to make a statement this season.
