The Color Yellow: Fashion Do or Fashion Don't?

The color yellow is having its moment. From Willow Smith to Taylor Swift to Jennifer Lopez, stars are brightening up the chilly winter by wearing the most notoriously hard-to-wear color. Smith, 11, wore a romantic floor-length yellow gown tied at the waist to the BET Honors event in Washington earlier this month.

Here's Taylor Swift doing some shopping in a pretty navy blue sweater and yellow skirt combo (note the red lips -- also a hot trend right now):

And here's fashion maven J-Lo at the "American Idol" auditions in a long yellow coat:

Kirsten Dunst, Paula Patton and Maria Menounos wore yellow to the Golden Globes; Camilla Belle and Minka Kelly gave the color a try at a gala earlier this month; Elizabeth Olsen, Diane Kruger and Elle Fanning wore it to the Critics' Choice Awards; and Jennifer Hudson wore it to her book launch, according to The Daily Mail.

Wearing yellow seems like a great way to cheer up a cold January day, but it really doesn't look good on everyone, especially those with fair complexions. We've tried it, but we're not sure it works for us. Do you think yellow is a fashion "do"? It certainly gets you noticed!

    Soft Yellows? Yes.
    Maybe a little spot of a bold yellow like in a pair of shoes in an outfit or a purse? Sure!
    Entire outfit bold yellow? No. way.

    If you don't overuse the color yellow it's fine. But don't go crazy unless you WANT to look like a weird banana. lol :x

    I never really liked the colour yellow, and I most certainly won't be wearing it much :')
    But it's a colour that looks wonderful on some people.

    Wearing yellow is supposed to boost your confidence. If you want to wear it, by all means do so, and not because Taylor Swift or some other celebrity is following a "trend". BTW, that's the nicest picture I've seen of Willow Smith. She usually looks like the love child of Punky Brewster and Boy George.

    Ick. It doesn't look good on anyone, and it makes most gals look pale, pasty, or well, yellowish. Gross.

    Its really depending on the shade of yellow, how much yellow and your skin tone.

    Some people wear it well, others look like there covered in egg yolk or they are jaundiced.

    It's a color. This is a really stupid question, all colors are fashionable its the style of the clothing that matters. Yellow fashion

    Obviously some people can pull it off better than others. I think blondes are best to wear yellow and also those that have a matching personality.

    But it depends on the person, the occasion, the style of the clothing and most importantly the shade of yellow.
    I hope I can carry off the colour the way I imagine it in my head.

    I do know the girl on the left from Twilight, but since there is a colour difference between the two photos, the model in the other photo could be fake XD

    Personally I don't like to wear it at all and I never do. But if someone else likes that color, why shouldn't they wear it?? When will silly women stop letting the fashionistas dictate to them what they should wear? Be yourself. And who cares is someone else likes it or not.

    I always think yellow makes people look like school busses. However, there are some who can wear it depending on their complexion and how sunny a day it is.

    Adding a little mustard on lemon to tweak up an outfit is good; as long as it's not overdone. ;-)) to help each other out; why don't we suggest color combinations that work with the yellow
