This week in fashion, colour ruled the runway—and the streets. From bold monochromes to vibrant multi-tones, celebrities embraced the mood-lifting power of dopamine dressing, proving once again that fashion is not just wearable art, but also emotional therapy.
From Isha Ambani’s handcrafted Indian-meets-Italian couture moment to Anne Hathaway’s painterly day dress and Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s Caribbean crimson glow, there was no shortage of high-voltage style inspiration. Across continents and climates, colour became the ultimate statement—bold, unapologetic, and joyful.
Isha Ambani: Fuchsia Couture with an Indian Heart
Isha Ambani stepped out in a custom fuchsia gown by Roberto Cavalli that beautifully merged traditional Indian techniques with global high fashion. Styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania, the standout element was the intricate bandhani tie-dye created by Indian artisans—an homage to craftsmanship rooted in culture. With gemstone earrings by Hanut Singh adding regal polish, the look was a celebration of colour, couture, and cross-cultural collaboration.
Anne Hathaway: Pop-Art Chic in Gabriela Hearst
Anne Hathaway sent social media into a nostalgic spin with an outfit that might as well have been plucked from Andy Sachs’ 2025 wardrobe. Dressed in a Gabriela Hearst Spring/Summer 2025 dress, the actor embraced abstract colour blocking in soft hues of pink, lilac, blue and yellow. The structured brown seams and mosaic-like layout channeled Mondrian with a laid-back twist. Styled with a crochet bucket hat from Shebobo and Chloé platform sandals, the look perfectly blended art and ease.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas: Crimson Romance in the Caribbean
For her birthday escape in the Bahamas, Priyanka Chopra Jonas delivered an unforgettable sunset moment aboard a yacht. Wearing a fiery crimson co-ord by Colombian designer Maygel Coronel, the off-shoulder top featured sculptural rose embellishments and delicate ruching. The matching maxi skirt flattered her silhouette, while dewy skin, tousled wet hair, red-tinted lips and tinted shades brought the whole sun-drenched fantasy to life.
Simone Ashley: Effortless Cool in Polka Dots and Prada
Simone Ashley gave fans a peek into her NYC style diary with a carousel of standout looks. While powder blue dresses and cutout prints featured heavily, one classic combo stood out—a playful polka dot top teamed with a mini skirt and the iconic Prada Cleo bag. Minimal yet memorable, the look struck a chord for its casual chic appeal, perfect for urban summer days.
Fashion’s New Mood: Bold, Bright, and Feel-Good
This week’s standout style moments prove that colour is no longer a detail—it’s the headline. Dopamine dressing has officially entered its maximalist phase. From vintage-rooted prints to abstract tones and Caribbean reds, the best looks of the week weren’t just fashionable—they were mood-boosting.
So, if you needed a sign to ditch the neutrals and go full-on technicolour, this is it.
