It's True: Celebrities Can't Stop Wearing This Freaky Trend

Yep, celebrities can't seem to stop wearing neon. To be more specific, they can't stop wearing varying shades of neon green. We noticed the color trend rising among the celebrity world late last year as Blake Lively stunned in a head-to-toe neon green suit and Kendall Jenner posted multiple neon green Instagrams in a row. It seemed like no matter the event, be it a red carpet premiere or a quick trip down the block, celebs were smitten with the freaky hue.
Fast-forward to 2019, and we've seen more and more celebs wearing the polarizing trend. Don't worry: Not every outfit we're about to show you is doused in highlighter juice. Some looks integrate the trend in a subtle way, while others really do smack you right in the face. If you're feeling like this trend is a little too much, we are bringing you the celebrity looks that made us feel like it was our time to try out the 2019 trend for ourselves, and we hope you feel the same way.
