Emma Stone nailed the trend in a pastel colorblock top-and-skirt set by Daniel Vosovic at the Revlon Nearly Naked makeup launch. The outfit’s neutral tones were punched up with contrasting raglan sleeves and peachy point-toe pumps—the actress added further contrast with her dark manicure. For an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, Jessica Biel gave the term ‘greensleeves’ a new interpretation in a dress by Roland Mouret featuring contrasting sleeves, a cowl neck, and flattering gathering at the waist. Her aquamarine pumps completed the head-to-toe colorblock look. Faith Hill wore another look by the same designer to the CMAs. The ruffled cream sleeves gave the singer’s elegant black column gown a little extra oomph. Andrea Riseborough’s colorblocking was all in the details at the British Fashion Awards. Her tangerine Roksanda Ilincic gown had a drop waist and bishop sleeves, which were accented with cobalt blue cuffs. Her coral lips matched the dress and made her fair skin pop.
