“Think pink,” declared Maggie Prescott, the legendary magazine editor inspired by Diana Vreeland
in Funny Face (one of our all-time favorite movies starring Audrey Hepburn). And she did just that
, redecorating the office and declaring the candy shade the only thing that mattered. If you ask us, she was
spot on—pink has the same timeless seductive power as red, just more flirty,
more fun, and without all that femme fatale danger.
From soft rose tones at Prada to eye-catching magenta at Balenciaga, the fashion set is clearly having a love affair with the hue. And with so many variations of the color, adding a pop of pink to any wardrobe is a breeze.

For a streamlined and minimalistic approach, look for tailored suiting details in a soft peachy nude or delicate rose
, as those perfect tones can be worn as just another neutral. If your inner-intellectual aligns with Audrey’s bookish insouciance in the film, fear not....a splash of pink in a handbag, jewelry, or shoe will add a sprig of coquettishness without being overwhelming. And for that summery, sporty feel, just throw on a pair of nude pink plimsolls.

Now, cotton candy and sugared almond pinks right through to Pepto-Bismol punch need a little more consideration
—try them tone on tone, or cleanse the palette with ivory, black, or beige.
Fuchsia is a winner
for the brave (and ideal on freshly bronzed skin).
It screams devil-may-care and is sure to make a statement. For a feeling of resort escapism, mix your pinks with red, yellow, or any other searingly confident exotic hue and voilà!

Whatever your preference, take a cue from Funny Face, and think pink...
