Pink Dresses

Katie Holmes stood out in a bright-pink Narciso Rodriguez dress upon arrival at the Late Show in NYC yesterday. What we love most about her look isn't only her dress, but the combination of the dress with her olive-green Balenciaga trench coat. The actress kept the accessories to a minimum but dressed her feet with nude suede Isabel Marant pumps. Re-create this fabulous color combo by pairing an olive coat with a pink dress during your next night out. Or, for a casual twist, sport olive jeans with a hot-pink sweater or pink pants with an olive top. But before you do, vote on which latest Katie Holmes look you love most.

Over the weekend, Mischa Barton attended a fancy party in Sweden wearing a pink draped dress topped with a green-and-gold bib necklace and finished with black ankle-strap platform sandals. What we love most about Mischa's look is that it's simple and snazzy all at the same time. The pink hue of the dress made her stand out, while the green necklace added a daring contrast color. If you have a cocktail party or Summer wedding coming up, consider mimicking Mischa's look by donning an equally pretty pink dress with a green bib necklace and black strappy sandals.

Eva Longoria is hot on her own, but she doubled her stunning impact when she wore a bright pink minidress in NYC. The good news for all you who have just fallen in love with Eva's adorable dress is that it's from Ann Taylor and it's just $148! Score it for yourself and sport it all Spring. Eva opted to wear hers with Brian Atwood pumps and Ray-Ban aviators, but you can rock it a bevy of other ways. Throw on a red cardigan or red heels for a red-and-pink love affair, a white or black blazer for chic sharpness, and espadrilles for a breezy feel. Then come Fall, put it on over leggings and boots to spice up your cold-weather look.

Few things in your closet will make you feel as instantly girlie as a little pink dress. And, since we've spotted our favorite crop of celebrities from here to Cannes, like Ashley Greene, Mia Wasikowska, Emmy Rossum, and Jayma Mays, all showing off pretty petal-hued frocks, now may just be the perfect time to add one to your own repertoire. It's the soft feel we love of the blush-toned pinks; they inspire femininity the way our first pair of ballet slippers did. Shop our editor's picks below to get the look!

The LPD, little pink dress, is in full tilt this season, and we couldn't be happier. See, the trick to pulling off this cute color palette is picking a hue that complements your skin tone. Zoe Saldana opted for a trippy light pink print by Louis Vuitton; Leigh Lezark donned a brighter hue during Paris Fashion Week; while Jessica Alba played around with a soft floral version. All pink, all deliciously pretty.
