Elsa Hosk Confirmed Baby Blue and Yellow is the Colour Combo of the Summer

Honestly, this might just be the prettiest and most elegant summer colour combination I’ve seen all season. During an all-too-early morning scroll, I stumbled across a styling formula so chic it genuinely lifted my mood. Spotted on model Elsa Hosk—who’s descended upon the English countryside with her typically polished wardrobe in tow—I saw her wearing a baby blue satin dress paired with a buttery yellow Hermès handbag, and felt instantly compelled to recreate the look myself.

Inherently optimistic, this colour pairing brings together two of summer’s happiest hues: energetic yellow and calming blue, creating a fresh, mood-boosting combo that radiates sunshine and serenity.

Hosk styled hers in the form of a skin-skimming satin dress that fell to her ankles, featuring delicate lace trims and a sleeveless cut. The dress alone was an elegant starting point, but it was the striking yellow bow details—tied sweetly at the shoulders—that really brought the whole look to life. Echoing the cheerful accent, she completed the outfit with a bright yellow Hermès Kelly bag, tying the palette together.

The two shades riffed off one another beautifully, injecting lightness and brightness into her outfit without feeling over-the-top. It’s an effortlessly chic way to embrace colour during the warmer months.

While this particular pairing may have flown under the radar so far this summer, it was quietly championed on the spring/summer 2025 runways, with brands like Miu Miu, Rabanne and Rokh all toying with the colour combination in their collections.

Though I adored Hosk’s baby blue dress and yellow bag ensemble, this duo is endlessly versatile. A butter-yellow blouse worn with soft blue jeans, for example, offers an easy, everyday way to work the trend into your wardrobe.
