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.
5 CELEBRITY-LOVED FASHION COLOUR COMBINATIONS THAT LOOK SO GOOD FOR SUMMER
1. DUA LIPA IN AQUAMARINE + BURGUNDY
Style Notes: Attending Jacquemus' runway show in Capri, singer Dua Lipa styled a vivid summer outfit that emulated the bright blue sky above. Wearing a suede aquamarine dress, Lipa styled her floor-sweeping gown with rich burgundy accessories which worked to ground the playful blue shade and add dimension to her front row 'fit.

2. DAKOTA JOHNSON IN MARIGOLD + LIGHT PINK
Style Notes: An unexpected yet elegant colour combination—Dakota Johnson's marigold skirt and ultra-light pink knit has just inspired my summer wardrobe. Merging two joyful summer shades, the actor's off-duty outfit was vibrant, playful and surprisingly wearable.

These lightweight trousers are ideal for styling throughout the hottest summer months.
3. GIGI HADID IN GREEN + BROWN:
Style Notes: Gigi Hadid's chocolate brown and forest green colour combination makes use of two earthy shades that work together to give the model's look a relaxed and composed energy. Hadid's easy layering technique adds a cool-girl touch and her all-white base lets the rich colours shine.
SHOP THE GREEN AND BROWN COLOUR COMBINATION:
4. LAURA HARRIER IN GOLD + ORANGE:
Style Notes: Throughout the hottest summer days, there's no stronger colour combination than vivid orange and bright gold. Inspired by Harrier's easy-to-copy look, I'll be shopping a sunshine orange dress and metallic gold bag this summer.
SHOP THE GOLD AND ORANGE COLOUR COMBINATION:
This features a removable strap, so you can wear it across your body or as a clutch bag.
5. BELLA HADID IN BROWN + PINK:
Style Notes: Lifting the heavy energy of her mushroom brown dress, Hadid's pink shoe pairing adds a softer feel to her look, making the rich shade easier to style throughout the summer.

This elegant linen dress is destined to sell out this season.
