Summer 2010 Fashion Trends: A splash of soft yellow

There are always a few key looks on the Red Carpet that help set the tone for the season to come, and despite her young age, Selena Gomez made a real impact at the 2010 Kids Choice Awards. Her pale yellow silk chiffon dress by Christian Cota was one of the most popular looks on our Celebrity Edition - and when you add Sarah Jessica Parker's appearance at the Showest 2010 Awards in a gorgeous one shoulder yellow dress by Lanvin, soft yellow has made it's mark!

This is a colour trend that suits a softer style, think about ruffles, or draping to give it a more feminine look. If you prefer something a little more edgy, then keep the lines very sharp and minimalist, like Shakira in Versace below.

You can pair this with gold jewelry, a chunky cuff like SJP below, or delicate pieces like Selena. Your shoes should be neutral or metallic, which just so happens to be another hot trend!

Editor's picks below - there is something for every budget, and yellow for both work & play!
