As I watched the music stars walk down the red carpet on E!'s pre-Grammy show last night, one look required a double take... Hellooooo, Fergie! Wow. She sported a black bikini underneath an orange lace mermaid dress by Jean Paul Gautier Haute Couture (pictured on the left). She is one celeb you can count on to grab your attention. And to make a fashion statement.
Fergie definitely received the memo from Pantone, the global color authority, that Tangerine Tango is the 2012 color of the year. As Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, explains this color is "sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive." Yessiree.
Trust me - I know that some of us (including myself!) won't be replicating Fergie's bold choice to represent this bright orange hue. What to do? I turn to my reliable accessories! A pop of color with jewelry, shoes, a bag or a belt can be an affordable and unexpected addition to your look. Gap's Neon Orange Patent Belt (pictured on the right, $24.95) is one way to do this. Not to mention, belts continue to be a key player in the style aisle -- used to accent pants, tunics, skirts and dresses.
322 days and counting until the new year. In the meantime, have fun representing the 2012 color: Tangerine Tango.
