Black and white may be the ultimate color combo for the "quiet luxury" set, but I've never been one to stick to neutrals. A glance at my wardrobe will confirm that I love experimenting with every shade under the sun, so I'm always down to try the latest and greatest color trends inspired by runways and celebrities. My latest obsession comes courtesy of Dakota Johnson.

Photographed in New York City, Johnson wore a highly specific color combo that hadn't really crossed my mind before now: marigold and Bordeaux. Her yellow skirt and burgundy heels, both by Gucci, look so dang chic together that I'm suddenly convinced I need to try a similar look. Scroll down to see Dakota Johnson's newest outfit and shop pieces to re-create it.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
