5 Elegant Yet Trendy Summer Colour Combos I'm Stealing from Celebrities

As we move into a new season, I'm keen to shake up my style with a fresh, summer-ready colour palette. But, instead of scouring my favourite brands I'm planning on shopping my wardrobe and reviving my looks with some clever fashion colour pairings. Keen to collate some new-season inspiration to breathe a new lease of life into my existing wares, naturally, I've looked to my favourite celebrities as a starting point.

Guided by some of the best stylists in the industry, the celebrity style set delivers some of the best fashion inspiration you can find. And lately, the stars have been out in force sporting some of 2024's biggest colour trends and putting them together in ways that I wouldn't have necessarily thought about trying without their prompts. Fulfilling my quest for fresh summer inspiration, below I've created an edit of the celebrity fashion colour combinations that have caught my eye recently, from aquamarine and burgundy via Dua Lipa to tangerine and gold from Laura Harrier. Scroll on to see them.
