Every fashionista 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 burst of color can feel like a rare but delightful sight. Recently, however, thanks to the keen eye and exceptional taste of celebrity stylist Danielle Goldberg, we were treated to an eye-catching monochromatic persimmon ensemble worn by none other than Carey Mulligan. At the New York screening of Beef season 2, Mulligan showcased a complete look from Colleen Allen's F/W 26 collection, which included a persimmon-colored velvet crewneck shirt paired with a matching silk slip skirt. She finished the outfit with gold stiletto mules featuring a sleek design and a relaxed low bun, both of which were chosen to enhance her polished appearance rather than distract from it.
The persimmon hue, true to its name, closely resembles the skin of a ripe persimmon fruit, showcasing a rich tone with warm earthy undertones and hints of red. Among light pink and royal purple, it stands out as one of the prominent color trends for spring 2026. This shade appeared in collections from designers such as Saint Laurent, Ashlyn, Valentino, Akris, and Lacoste on various pieces including sheer dresses, sweaters, coordinating skirt sets, and button-down shirts. Whether paired with matching components for a complete monochromatic look as seen at Akris and Saint Laurent, or combined with unexpected colors like red at Lacoste or light-blue denim at Valentino, this bold shade proved its versatility and wearability, transitioning from the runways to everyday fashion.
In addition to Mulligan's recent outfit, celebrities like Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Bella Hadid have also been spotted in persimmon this spring. If you’re inspired to add a skirt, dress, or top in this shade to your warm-weather wardrobe, keep scrolling. We’ve compiled a selection of the best pieces in this lovely color below.
