The Pink Dress Works For Grown-Up Life!
For years, we've been led to believe that the ultimate in color sophistication was a deep, dark black. Whether for work, an interview, or a first date, nearly every serious occasion you'd encounter in adulthood could be met with an LBD. Switch in bubblegum pink for noir? Puh-lease.
And then we saw not one but two chic images from this weekend, and we had a major change of heart. Both Emma Watson and Zoe Levin made the color look fresh and officially grown-up. Inspired, we went searching for similar styles that we could count on for the upcoming season of weddings, graduation parties, and Spring date nights. Scroll down for a look at both women's dresses and the finds that we're seriously considering buying. Source: Getty / Steve Mack and Robin Marchant
Emma Watson in Pink at the Tribeca Film Festival
For the premiere of Boulevard at New York's chicest film fest, the actress picked a silk top and jacquard skirt from Narciso Rodriguez's Spring 2014 collection and Stuart Weitzman sandals. Done in the same fabric, the different hues might feel wrong paired together; with silk against something rougher, it felt obviously purposeful.
Zoe Levin in Pink at the Tribeca Film Festival
Zoe skipped the two-piece set in favor of a prim, 3/4-sleeve lace dress at the festival while promoting Beneath the Harvest Sky. The bright coral might have read as more juvenile if she picked a trendy shape, but the classic cut ensured it had a timeless vibe to it. She finished the sophisticated look with a gold clutch and Stuart Weitzman sandals.
