Arianne December 20, 2016December 20, 2016Leave a Comment

2016 is winding down so it is always fun to look back and see what trends held us all captivated. A color that never quite seems to go out of style for us ladies is the ever classic pink. From pink hair to shoes we literally saw it all this year. So let’s take a quick stroll down fashion memory lane. Here are the 10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016!

10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016

What girly-girl does not like pink? During 2016 several starlets let their soft side show in full force. We spotted supermodels, actresses and songstresses getting their pink clothing game on. Without further ado here they are:

Keke Palmer

Forget blondes, girls who wear pink have more fun! Moreover, the best part of this look is that Palmer styled it all on her own. She completed her pink clothing look utilizing 2 additional trends: choker and fur.

Beyonce

We are used to seeing the Queen killing it on her own but when she includes her daughter they become one unstoppable, dynamic duo. Pink shoes and pink embellished jacket, these dolls just get it. So then, as Blue Ivy’s jacket says they know how to slay.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj truly is a pink Barbie. Nicki is no stranger to the fun shade and has worn it for years. Furthermore, this year she kept it chic with a pink fur jacket and matching Chanel handbag.

Rihanna

The style icon completely took over Paris Fashion Week in a pink design of her own (Puma x Rihanna). Now that is something not everyone can say. Also, the Badgal got her pink on for her Vanguard Award performance at the MTV VMAs. Therefore, we want to be RiRi when we grow up.

Zendaya Coleman

Besides nabbing a huge role in Spiderman zendaya started her own clothing brand too! Her collection includes pink clothing plus other chic choices. However, one other pink outfit of note was her pink red carpet look by Christian Siriano.

10 Best Pink Clothing Moments of 2016 – Halfway There!

Jasmine Tookes

Congrats to Jasmine for wearing the Vicky fantasy bra this year! However, we love all her many Victoria’s Secret looks but one pink gem reigns supreme. Her pink number from the VS winter commercial is total princess level.

Jourdan Dunn

We love a good Cinderella moment as much as the next hopeless romantic. Dunn definitely experienced one when she attended the Tony Awards with Zac Posen in one of his timeless pink designs.

Skai Jackson

Skai Jackson stole hearts this year for being freaking adorable and one of our favorite memes. Nevertheless, her pink Gucci suit for the Kids Choice Awards was also an attention grabber. Another cute moment of that same night was a photo moment shared between her and Ellen. AW!

La La Anthony

She’s sexy and she knows it! Two looks instantly come to mind. First, La La’s pink, fuzzy GIRLS tank top. We wanted that top the moment we laid eyes on it. Later on in the year Anthony shut it down in a pink bodycon dress from Hot Miami Styles.

Naomi Campbell

When you are named supermodel of the century you are making every fashion list from now until eternity! With that said, Campbell donned vintage pink John Galiano for her Taschen book release tour and pink hair/makeup for February Vogue cover.
