Every fashion enthusiast should have at least one dress, skirt, or top in this particular color for spring.
In New York City, amidst a sea of black, a splash of color can seem like a rarity—but it’s a delightful one. This past week, however, we were treated to an eye-catching monochromatic persimmon-colored ensemble, thanks to the keen eye and impeccable taste of celebrity stylist Danielle Goldberg, worn by the one and only Carey Mulligan. For the New York screening of Beef season 2, Mulligan graced the event in a complete outfit from Colleen Allen's F/W 26 collection, featuring a persimmon velvet crewneck top paired with a matching silk slip skirt. The look was completed with elegantly designed gold stiletto mules and a casual low bun, both chosen to enhance the polished appearance rather than detract from it.
The Persimmon shade, as implied by its name, reflects the color of a ripe persimmon fruit. It is a rich tone with warm earthy and subtle red undertones. Along with light pink and royal purple, it stands out as one of the key color trends for spring 2026. This hue appeared in collections from Saint Laurent, Ashlyn, Valentino, Akris, and Lacoste, showcased in sheer dresses, sweaters, coordinated skirt sets, and button-down shirts. Whether worn as a complete monochromatic outfit, as seen at Akris and Saint Laurent, or mixed with contrasting colors, like shades of red at Lacoste or light blue denim at Valentino, this somewhat bold shade has proven to be both versatile and wearable, transitioning from the runways to everyday streets.
In addition to Mulligan’s latest appearance, celebrities such as Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Bella Hadid have also embraced this color this spring. If you're feeling inspired to incorporate a skirt, dress, or top in persimmon into your warm-weather wardrobe, continue scrolling. Below, we’ve compiled a list of the finest pieces in this lovely hue.
