As a fashion editor with a penchant for celebrity style, there are few things that pique my attention quite like learning of a new trend rippling through celebrity style circles. Like fashion people around the world, celebs have been coming back to the butter-yellow colour trend on repeat over the past few months. A resounding favourite amongst all age groups, I've seen the trend styled in the form of pretty party dresses by Sabrina Elba and elegant two-pieces by Naomi Watts, amongst so many other sophisticated looks.
Inspired by the summery shade that keeps coming up on my FYP, I've chronicled a few of my favourite buttery looks. Read on to discover how celebrities are styling the butter-yellow colour trend this summer.
1. SABRINA ELBA
Style Notes: Wearing her form-fitting butter-yellow dress with bright white heels, Elba opted for a fresh colour palette to liven up her evening attire.

This pretty cashmere dress feels so soft and comfortable on the skin.
The ankle strap adds a point of interest along with some additional support.
2. KENDALL JENNER
Style Notes: Butter yellow with blue denim is one of my favourite combinations at the moment. Crafting a casual and comfortable outfit, Jenner's button-down added a summery twist to her relaxed ensemble.

3. EVA LONGORIA
Style Notes: Styling a smart ensemble for a day of press events, Eva Longoria accessorised her buttery dress with a tonal bag. Keeping the rest of her look minimal and refined, the actor reached for statement earrings and a pair of strappy heels to tie it all together.

4. SIMONE ASHLEY
Style Notes: Layering yellow on yellow, actor Simone Ashley opted for a tonal two-piece that she styled underneath a sunshine-yellow bomber jacket. Wearing light yellow boots and large gold earrings, the actor created a vivid ensemble that spoke to her playful taste.

6. ELSA HOSK
Style Notes: Opting for a refined and polished silhouette, model Elsa Hosk went for an elegant gown on the paler end of the butter-yellow spectrum. Letting the soft yellow shade lead the look, the dress added more character to her outfit than any cream item could.
