Not Butter Yellow, Not Powder Pink: The Color Trend I'm Currently Admiring

      If there are two color trends that have characterized this year, they are certainly butter yellow and powder pink. That particular yellow isn't flattering for my skin tone, and although the pink is undeniably charming, I've found myself drawn to a more overlooked option: baby blue. It's long been one of my beloved colors. As a child, I was a fan of Baby Spice and Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls simply because they donned baby blue. Now, many years later, it's making a resurgence in the realms of fashion and beauty. I first spotted it on a surprising number of spring 2025 runways and it carried over into fall 2025 presentations, indicating that it’s here to stay. Whether showcased as nail polish, eye shadow, or clothing, there are countless ways to incorporate this hue.
