Every year, fashion crowns a new favourite shade, and 2025 belongs to butter yellow. Soft, creamy, and quietly powerful, this pastel shade has taken over Bollywood and Hollywood. Butter yellow works because it is both playful and polished, giving a fresh look to fashion.
Wondering how celebrities are styling their butter yellow outfits? Take some cues.
Hollywood has already given its stamp of approval. When Timothée Chalamet appeared at the Oscars in a butter yellow suit, the tone of the season was set. The actor wore a bright yellow suit, complete with tapered, slightly slouchy trousers, which he paired with a complementary button-up shirt with a sharp collar.
His look was chic, modern, and effortlessly Parisian, and it instantly sparked conversations about how this mellow shade could redefine men’s red-carpet dressing.
Even Sabrina Carpenter loves butter yellow. From stage to casual wear, butter yellow dominates her wardrobe.

Kendall Jenner also took a dip in the trend. Known for being minimalist, she wore butter yellow on her nails, igniting an Instagram frenzy that made the shade feel instantly wearable for everyone.
Back in India, Bollywood’s Gen Z brigade was quick to embrace the trend.
‘The Archies’ actress Suhana Khan left everyone stunned with her butter yellow outfit a few days back. Her butter-yellow tweed ensemble that looked as if it had been plucked straight from the Korean fashion playbook, was from Hong Kong-based label Sau Lee. Her outfit felt fresh, light, and perfectly in tune with the Butter Yellow Trend.
Even ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' actress Janhvi Kapoor made it her own in a butter yellow dress that she flaunted during a fun reel with her friends.
When Janhvi loves it, how come Khushi not? Khushi Kapoor wore a gorgeous butter yellow dress for her maiden ‘Koffee With Karan’ appearance. The diva wore a yellow mini dress from Zimmermann. It is called the Matchmaker Rose Mini Dress and is from the label's Resort 2024 Collection - Matchmaker.

The magic of butter yellow lies in how easily it integrates into daily fashion. From Hollywood to Bollywood, from the runway to the high street, butter yellow is definitely the colour of the season.
