You may as well call it 50 shades of pink. For, this hue can be seen in so many variations — baby pink, light millennial pink, coral, soft shell enamel, fuchsia, and more. And at the recent Oscar Awards, it was another shade of the colour that stood out as the most popular fashion trend for the night — bright pink! There was almost a sea of gowns in the hue — in poufy frills, netted ruffles, princess-style trail gowns, bubble-gum hued tulles and more. It’s being described by fashion analysts as ‘joyful’ and ‘what modern couture should be like’. As it upped the sartorial ante, it got fashion pundits asking: Is pink the new black?
HOLLYWOOD ROYALTY GIVES IT THE NOD
The attention-grabbing pink dresses were seen on a bunch of stars. ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ star Gemma Chan wore a voluminous gown in magenta. She also snuck a cookie into her pockets to probably munch on during the whole event. While Linda Cardellini seemed to pile on pink stylishly, Kacey Musgraves stole it with her cotton-candy-pink tulle net ensemble and Sarah Paulson opted for a billowy, cutout-style fuchsia gown. But it was veteran actress Angela Bassett who was the reigning queen of the night as most sites called her. She turned heads in her exaggerated hot pink shoulder gown with its thigh-high slit and a gem-shaped clutch. Also in close running for wearing the hue stylishly were actresses Helen Mirren and Julia Roberts. Mirren swished in with her frothy pink tulle and Roberts dished up Oscars chic in her flowy-but-fitted one-shouldered bright pink dress with an asymmetrical leg slit. And guess what? Pink wasn’t for the women alone. Aquaman Jason Momoa’s pink tuxedo, complete with a scrunchie, much to fans’ delight!
YES, MEN ARE WEARING IT, TOO
Who says pink is just for the ladies?Men can look just as hot in the hue. Jason Momoa wore a pink velvet tux with a matching scrunchie to the awards and Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman also chose the hue for the Oscars after party.
HOW TO WEAR THE HUE IN YOUR DAY
While shocking pink and its cousins heated up the red carpet at the Oscars, you can just as easily wear the hue in your daily life. Here are tips to do so:
z Pink is the colour for any season — it adds vibrancy to winter and lends a lovely hue to summer. So, go with skater, shift dresses and other styles in it, for the upcoming season.
z Yes, this is a pretty shade, but you don’t want to look too girly in it, so break the monotony of the hue with black, navy blue and grey.
z Since pink is also a light shade, it is perfect for those ruffles, frills and poufs.
z Keep away the stiff, black heels and make pink your new neutral footwear. Opt for pumps, peep toes, kitten heels and stilettos in bright or baby pink.
z Planning to wear all-black? Pink comes in as the perfect complement. Wear pink stud earrings or hoops as well a pop pink clutch or quilted bag to go with the rest of the look.
z Love athleisure? Weave pink into your gym wear with pink keds, tracks with a neon pink stripe or even a fuchsia top over those black leggings.
z Team a pink halter with white jeans for a day outdoors.
z Grab a pair of sunnies with a pink frame to complete the look. Dab on the eyeshadow to match.
