Between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announcing their engagement, and these loved-up photos of George and Amal Clooney arriving in Venice ahead of the Film Festival, love most definitely is in the air this week.
Venice is, of course, where the Clooneys tied the knot back in September 2014, and Amal seems to save her very best dresses for revisiting the Floating City. Butter yellow has been huge news all summer long, but Amal just demonstrated this colour should be on your moodboard for your autumn capsule wardrobe, too.
Her pastel outfit was made up of a halterneck midi dress by Balmain, which boasted a chunky gold buckle belt, side pockets and a sleek silhouette. Add in the Ebene bag by the brand, plus a pair of white Prada pumps, subtle gold earrings and oversized sunglasses, and this look is a lesson in how to wear butter yellow. I must admit that, as much as I love this colour, I thought it was a trend that would run its course as soon as the nights started to draw in. But this flattering shade will undoubtedly keep your cool-weather outfits looking fresh for months to come.
If you've still got a wedding to go to this year, yellow is a beautiful choice to wear. This draped halter neckline really reminds me of Amal's dress, but with a whopping 60% off, this bargain isn't going to stick around for long. You've been warned!
Although it's a slightly more lime colour, the structured design of this top is giving me Balmain vibes. There's a matching skirt available, but this would also make for a very stylish top to wear with jeans.
The rib fabric of this dress is not only ideal for the cooling temperatures, but it will also fit your figure perfectly. When it gets really chilly, layer an oversized jumper on top and add some knee-high boots.
Wondering what colour shoes to wear with butter yellow? Black and yellow can feel a little too striking, but Amal's look shows that white is the way forward. With that distinctive triangle logo on the front, these Prada pumps are a dream.
Saving up for the real deal? For a fraction of the price, these shoes are some of the best designer lookalikes I've seen. The mid-height heel is really manageable, and the slingback shape is in line with the shoe trends 2025.
Amal's handbag will set you back more than £2,000, but for just £29.99, this shoulder bag has got a similar statement strap and curved shape. It's a no-brainer!
woman&home's Fashion Writer Molly Smith says: "Butter yellow isn’t exclusive to the warmer season, and we expect this colour trend to dominate well into autumn/winter.
"With its soft warmth, it pairs perfectly with darker autumn neutrals like charcoal, chocolate brown or deep burgundy. We predict that this hue isn’t going anywhere. From featuring autumn/winter handbag trends to being a vibrant tone for winter outerwear, butter yellow is the ultimate transitional shade."
