Fuchsia

Fall Fashion

Having a Moment: Fuchsia

The color might seem like something you find on tropical prints or Summer dresses, but the color is ripe for Fall, and it's giving red a run for its money as the sexiest color to wear.

The color might seem like something you find on tropical prints or Summer dresses, but the color is ripe for Fall, and it's giving red a run for its money as the sexiest color to wear. We saw it on the Fall 2011 runways at Gucci and Bottega Veneta, and now we're seeing it pop up on the red carpet and in stores. Freida Pinto looked stunning in a custom-made Salvatore Ferragamo dress, Sarah Jessica Parker has sported her fuchsia jacket with jeans and for evening with a leather jacket, and Olivia Wilde wore fuchsia shoes with her J. Mendel dress. We found some great fuchsia pieces to add to your wardrobe instead of the more traditional red.

Roundup: Fuchsia, All Grown Up

I spotted this photograph in the portfolio of Bruce Hemming and fell in love with hot pink all over again.

I spotted this photograph in the portfolio of Bruce Hemming and fell in love with hot pink all over again. I usually prefer dustier shades of pink, but this kitchen really proves that fuchsia hues can look all grown up and sophisticated. The girlish color needn't be reserved for the PBteen set! It's all about balance, keeping the rest of the room simple, and not filling it with too many florals, etc. I thought I'd round up some more grown-up fuchsia items if you're looking to integrate a little candy pop into your home!

arriane jumped on Spring's brightest trend and worked it for the camera in an eye-catching ensemble. Her vivid top is overflowing with fuchsia hotness and I'm smitten with that big, bold belt. Also, note how her navy skirt adds a crisp touch to her outfit. Shine on girl. Come back and tell us what you have on!

Congrats to arriane!

Celebrity Style: Eugenia Silva

Milan Fashion Week has officially begun!

Milan Fashion Week has officially begun! Actress Eugenia Silva attended the Emporio Armani show looking streamlined and stylish. Her gray cashmere sweater downplays the sexiness of the black pencil skirt, while the bright fuchsia clutch and citrine necklace loop in some color and femininity. The look is finished flawlessly with a pair of gray suede ankle platforms. Subtle pink lipstick ties it all together.

Life's a Beach: Revel in Pink

Tis' the season to revel in pink.

Tis' the season to revel in pink. If you're fearful of the berry mix, opt to accessorize with a pink bag. It's the perfect transition to coming out of your color shell and will give your outfit a sweet pizazz of color. I love how Chanel's fuchsia geometric clutch (left, on Lisa Cant) highlights the adorable dress. Perfection in pink.

Cheap & Chic: The Power of Hot Pink

Hot pink is on fire these days.

Hot pink is on fire these days. From Mary-Kate Olsen's belt to me at LA Fashion Week to Nicky Hilton's full-fledged obsession with the hue, it's practically everywhere you turn. Of course, it helps that it's traceable from miles away.

Anne Hathaway adopted the trend by sporting bright pink sunnies on the set of her new movie, Bride Wars. Like Anne, limit the hot pink items in your outfit to one, two at most. It's with great joy that I spread a little loud color in your lives. If hot pink is too girlie for you, try neon yellow or green. The neon possibilities are endless.

The Look For Less: Lucy Liu

Cashmere Mafia leading lady Lucy Liu looked beyond amazing in a hot pink Alexander McQueen silk dress at the The Late Show.

Cashmere Mafia leading lady Lucy Liu looked beyond amazing in a hot pink Alexander McQueen silk dress at the The Late Show. I love her daring opera-length leather gloves and circle earrings. You think perhaps Mafia costumer designer Patricia Field helped her out? Whether Pat worked her magic or Lucy did her own styling, here's a look (for less) worth imitating.
