8 hot pink dresses to make a statement in this summer
If there’s one colour that continues to steal the spotlight season after season, it’s hot pink. While butter yellow is trending for summer 2025, hot pink dresses are still big news, as the feel-good hue is perfect for weddings, parties, and holidays, or just channeling your inner It girl.
Seen on celebs like Margot Robbie, Zendaya and Florence Pugh – all in iconic looks – in recent months the likes of Paris Hilton and Blake Lively have also been seen championing the shade.
Whether you’re heading to a rooftop brunch in the sun or want to turn heads on your next night out, a hot pink dress is the ultimate style statement. From flattering midis to glam evening numbers, I’ve found the best pieces to shop now.
How to style hot pink dresses
The mood-boosting shade flatters every skin tone and is particularly suited to the summer months when we can wear it in the form of statement mini dresses, cut-out figure-hugging styles or floaty midis in lightweight fabrics.
A stand out piece on its own, a hot pink dress is surprisingly versatile and easy to accessorise. For parties and formal occasions they can look chic with minimal, barely-there pieces, or go all out with bright colour-clashing bags and shoes. If you’re off-duty dressing, a hot pink mini can be paired with chunky sandals or style a maxi with luxe leather slides.
Celebrities wearing hot pink dresses
Hot pink is most definitely sticking around. Charlotte Hawkins looked gorgeous in Suzannah London at Royal Ascot last summer, while Liz Hurley has been pictured in the shade multiple times in recent months.
Paris Hilton is a longtime lover of pink and looked amazing in her cut-out dress, while Blake Lively demonstrated how to style a hot pink mini in New York.
