Kate Moss and Katie Holmes Confirmed Butter Yellow is Spring’s Best Shade

If I had to choose just a few people to look towards for styling inspiration, Kate Moss and Katie Holmes would undoubtedly make the cut. Both dabbling in new and nostalgic trends with the same fervour, the two have honed dynamic wardrobes that feel fresh, chic and surprisingly approachable.

While the two have notable differences in their day-to-day style, they overlap with an effortless ease that seems to run through every look. So, when I recognise that they’re sporting a similar garment, I know I’m on to something particularly special. Stepping out in the heart of Paris, the two took a strikingly similar approach to their Paris Fashion Week styling.

Disregarding the sky blues and powder pink colours that have been trending for the past few weeks, Moss and Holmes emerged in their favourite spring shade: butter yellow.

Selecting a pretty flowing blouse in a muted yellow shade, Moss grounded the light spring layer with a dark black trouser pairing, anchoring her look while making the sweet colour feel much more wearable.

Wearing her butter yellow look with a similarly rich shade, Holmes paired her pale yellow Zimmermann Cargo Jacket (£1400) and Zimmermann Cargo Pants (£795) with a chocolate brown Scoop Bodysuit (£275) from the Australian brand. A natural shade with a rich and grounding energy, the dark brown bodysuit gave Holmes’ look a richer energy, without weighing it down.

While butter yellow colours might strike some as difficult to style, I’m here to argue the contrary. Not a million miles away from a fresh cream hue, this chic shade retains all of the versatility of the staple neutral, while injecting a fresh spring energy and a subtle flush of colour. Wearing well with other spring colours like pale pink and white, the trend feels all the more grown-up when styled with richer shades including chocolate browns and inky blacks.
