There has been a certain trend on red carpets of late and it hasn’t been hard to miss. Yellow gowns have been popping up everywhere. Versace used yellow extensively for their spring collection and continue the trend into fall alongside Fendi, Balenciaga and Elizabeth and James.

Red carpet looks have been seen on Lea Michelle at the Tonys in Zac Posen and SJP in Valentino at the NYC SATC2 premiere. It’s not all sunshine and smiles however; the trend is worn with an edgy vibe by Kristen Stewart in a Jenni Kayne skirt for Eclipse promo duties in Sydney.

To wear this trend to its optimum play safe and just stick to one yellow item such as a skirt like Kristen’s and tone it down with a basic top. If you are going to go the whole hog, make it mini, steer clear of anything over the knee too much yellow can result in a banana effect, always keep it short and sexy.

Here are some hot picks for every budget:
