Beyonce shows off her colorful style in orange
After spotting colors like burnt orange and marigold on the catwalks for fall 2011, we knew it was only a matter of time before these gorgeous colors made an early leap into summer and pre-fall wardrobes. Orange is a color that lets you get away with being shocking whatever season it may be. It’s bold, fearless and adventurous and it most definitely makes a statement. Below, check out some daring variations of “orange” looks on celebrities taking a fashion leap…
Looks like the former Destiny’s Child band mates are still inspiring each other. UK X Factor Judge, Kelly Rowland also stepped out in orange.

I’m a huge fan of the color as well. As bold as it is, it’s also pretty practical if you play your cards right. One of my favorite dresses is a 50s style orange dress with a pleated skirt. I’ve worn the dress alone, with a sweater and even put a twist on it by wearing it as a skirt.
Test driving the orange trend – (To the left, I created a make-shift skirt by pairing the bright orange dress with a forest green v-neck sweater and cinching my waist with a cognac belt. My look is finished off with striped peep-toe pumps. To the right, I paired the dress with a simple black sweater, a skinny black belt and added a little edge with some gladiator sandals).
Style Tip: Green, brown and black are great colors to mix with this shade.
So what do you think of these looks? Too bright or just right?
